Hotel 71 was the perfect setting for Shanna and Brian’s city-chic summer wedding. With many guests traveling from the east coast, the couple wanted to make their decor all about the beautiful city of Chicago. There were so many stunning details thanks to Kate Dooley of Dooley Planned Events and Kasha of Flowers by KH. I could probably make a blog post with just their decor. My favorite part: they gave away individual bags of Garrett’s popcorn as party favors! Genius. Shanna and Brian exchanged vows at St. Michael’s in Old Town before we headed all over the city for fun portraits. It was a super hot day, so I’m so grateful for the whole wedding party being such good sports! The whole day was so much fun and I’m so glad I could be a part of it. Thank you again, Shanna and Brian. Everything was simply stunning!
