stephanie + austin

the walden, chicago

I've never said "woooooooow" so many times in a day until I walked into Stephanie + Austin's day. Their wedding was my greenery girl's dream come true. It screamed "Stephanie + Austin" so loudly and it was perfection.

The Walden is hands down one of my favorite Chicago wedding venues to work at and Stephanie + Austin's wedding day just made it a million times better. When I say that The Walden could be anything you want it to be, it truly can. Steph + Austin's vision transformed this venue into an actual forest. Walking into the ceremony, you are greeted by amazing plants and then as you look down the aisle, you see the forest of greeneries formed into a beautiful arch. It doesn't stop at the ceremony though.. the reception space was absolutely insanity. There were beautiful wicker lamps hanging with vinery hanging down the entire ceiling of the space. The tables were filled with greenery and candles that truly tied in all of the vibes they were aiming for. 
Other than the amazing decor and florals, Stephanie + Austin's day was surrounded with their friends and family that brought the best vibes, ever! Every second from getting ready to their amazing champagne tower entrance to them dancing on the dance floor, it was filled with so much fun and excitement. I'll truly never get over these two and their day; especially their baby, Frankie! (s/o to The Walden for being pet friendly - we love a venue that loves our pets!)
