Real Weddings: Arianna + Ryan 7.12.13

We had the honor of hosting Arianna and Ryan's rustic-and-vintage inspired wedding at the Chicago Marriott Naperville on July 12, 2013. Arianna and her team of family and friends had some beautiful DIY projects with their burlap-wrapped centerpieces, expansive candy buffet and hand-crafted shutters to frame their dessert buffet.

Here are some of our favorite pictures from their special day:

Inspirational sayings greeted guests on their escort cards, nestled onto pine cones

 

Guests were invited to "sign a leaf" in lieu of a traditional guest book

Tiny, hand-wrapped burlap roses add great touches on centerpieces of smooth stones and pine cones

 

The bride's father created the shutters as a custom backdrop to their dessert buffet. He also created the multi-tier cake stands for the cupcakes

 

 

Gray paper straws stayed with the vintage theme 

Congratulations, Arianna and Ryan! We're so glad you chose the Chicago Marriott Naperville for your wedding!
