Beat the Heat
This has been an interesting summer all around here in the U.S. My friends in New York have suffered through one of the hottest summers on record. Chicago hasn't been much better with a record number of hot days in a row. Now while I know that my other friends in Florida are laughing at us complaining about the heat, consider this. During the hottest months of the year, Chicago and Miami have only an 8 degree difference in average temperature. Yet, during the coldest month of the year there is a 46 degree average temperature difference. Thus Chicago gets near tropical summer temperatures during the summer and sub-freezing temps in the winter. All this combines to make for a very interesting wedding year.
Wedding planning in Chicago is always an exercise in contending with the weather. I think the smoothest weddings are the ones that work with the season. Eliane and Danny did just that. There wedding was not only in the summer but was also on July 4th, one of the busiest driving days of the year. How did they get around all this? Well, they planned for all their wedding festivities to be held at one location.
The Intercontinental Hotel with it's eclectic mix or artwork and gorgeous ballrooms made for the perfect plan to beat the heat. Without worry about the heat or travel, all the guest were quickly able to relax and enjoy a wonderful day. It's this level of planning and thought that really is typical of Eliane and Danny. From the first time I met Eliane we had much to talk about with her background in design. We talked about the potential designs of the album and how photographs should be displayed.
For those of you reading this who are planning your wedding, remember to work with the season and that'll help make for a fantastic day.
