Modern Wedding in Chicago
Angelica and Anthony were first introduced by a mutual friend, who also happened to be Anthony’s cousin. It wasn’t until a few years later, during a night out with friends, that they reconnected and instantly hit it off. Three years after that, Anthony proposed during a breathtaking sunset in Mykonos, Greece. The proposal featured a stunning balloon arch and a wooden sign, creating a picture-perfect moment. From that point, they knew their wedding would be nothing short of spectacular, filled with elaborate details.
The couple tied the knot in their hometown of Chicago, where they both live and work. Angelica is a talented makeup and hair artist, while Anthony is the co-host of the popular podcast, All In Sports Entertainment.
RPM, the couple’s favorite restaurant, was the perfect choice for their reception, allowing them to celebrate surrounded by their closest friends and family. The décor was thoughtfully aligned with the colors from their engagement—soft pinks and baby blues.
The couple was married at Saint Mary of the Angels Cathedral, a venue that holds special significance with its beautiful pink and baby blue painted interior, perfectly complementing their wedding theme.
The attention to detail carried through to the reception, where no detail was left unnoticed. The space featured elaborate floral arrangements in soft pinks with hidden hints of lavender, complementing the bridesmaid dresses and echoing the bouquet Angelica had received in Greece. Mirrored table tops, an abundance of candles, and silver accents tied in perfectly with the couple’s mirrored invitation booklet, creating a cohesive and elegant atmosphere.
Angelica wanted to incorporate Anthony’s podcast logo, as it held great significance for them and reflected his personality. She took the character of his face from the logo and created a matching one for herself to represent both of their personalities. This playful design was featured on everything—from napkins and water bottles to a custom cake topper.
