Why Elope?
In the recent years, many couples have chosen to elope instead of hosting a traditional wedding. This decision often stems from a desire for a more intimate and less stressful celebration. to focus solely on the connection between the couple, without the pressure of extensive planning and large guest lists. In Chicago, elopements are especially popular due to the city’s stunning backdrops and vibrant atmosphere.

11/07/2024

Most of our couples' first time cutting a cake with one another happens the day of their wedding and it's not particularly something that people prepare you for. So today we're bringing you a few tips to consider.

First things first, make sure that you stand partially on the side of your cake to allow guests to watch and your photographer to be able to capture the moment. The location of where you make your first cut isn't necessarily important. Choose a tier that is comfortable for the height of you and your partner. Once both of your hands are on the knife, you will slice the cake towards the center one to two inches and then move the knife over one inch to make another cut. You can either use the knife of the cake server to move the slice to the plate.

Some couples choose to only cut one slice while others may decide they prefer to cut two small slices and put them on each of their plates. Once the cake is cut, take turns feeding one another and seal the tradition with a kiss! We won't promote smashing the cake into one another's faces and at the same time, we will be there to capture it if that's what you decide to do 😉🍰

Revelry 675 served as the perfect backdrop for Lorena and Daniel’s romantic union. Surrounded by lush greenery and fragrant blooms, the couple exchanged vows in a setting straight out of a fairytale.

The venue was transformed into a dreamy wonderland with elegant white arches adorned with cascades of pristine flowers. Rows of white chairs awaited guests, each adorned with subtle touches of floral beauty. The air was filled with the sweet scent of blossoms, creating an atmosphere of pure enchantment.
