I was really impressed with how the couple brought in the latest technology & social media to add to their celebration and to better connect everyone.
Guests were given the custom hashtag #ChasingLaura (the groom's last name is Chaise, so how cute is that?) for any photos uploaded to Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. We were also given a code to use a free wedding app called WedPics, which allowed everyone to post their mobile pics directly to a group album to view, share and download instantly.
The Knot recently listed the Top 10 Trends in Weddings for 2015 and among which was embracing tech like selfie sticks. Remember years ago, people would put those disposable cameras on the table? Now, brides and grooms should consider adding a Selfie Stick to encourage candid pics that a wedding photographer wouldn't take. I thought I'd test this idea out and brought with me a Selfie Stick from The Click Stick, which allowed for some fun dance floor pics and large group shots. Sure, I looked a little weird having it around, but I had a blast. The cool thing about this selfie stick is that no batteries nor a Bluetooth connection are needed. It also has a button on the stick itself to snap the final photo. Since I'm petite, it also gave me additional height to snap the perfect pic. I also made this fun video using video that I captured via the stick.Here are some other real wedding touches that the couple used:
Gotta love a LOVE ice sculpture
Peonies make such a bold and fragrant bouquet addition, perfect for a spring wedding
You can't leave out matching flowers on the cake either
Or colorful rose petals strewn along both sides of the aisle during the ceremony
I thought their chuppah was romantic and unique too
Bold centerpieces
Oh, and the mint ruffle dress that I wore, I found via this pin on Pinterest!
As if the beautiful cake wasn't enough, this dessert trio was provided as well and yes, that is an edible chocolate spoon!
The view at this place was amazing. This event was in the evening so it’s really a site to see when the sun sets. Just beautiful! If you are planning your wedding at Lincoln park wedding venues, don't worry too much about how to make it look even more beautiful.
