Dilly Lily was honored to make these lovely wedding bouquets for a photo shoot to be featured in the upcoming June issue of CS Brides Magazine. 
The shoot was directed by the fashionable Chicago Style Editor of Modern Luxury Magazine, Graham Kostic.  (You can also find Graham as Creative Director of Glossed and Found.)

We hope you enjoy this sneak peak of our wedding flowers!  However, it is no substitute for what Graham has in store for you in the glossy pages of the next CS Brides Magazine!  We are awaiting June with bated breath!

It was a warm autumn day when Jessie and Bobby said "I do" at
Fulton's on the River in Chicago.
Everyone enjoyed their love of color - Jessie carried a bouquet of all Circus roses and her bridesmaids carried a combination and flame dahlias, hydrangeas and hypericum berries. We especially loved the mini pumpkins.

Thank you for including Dilly Lily in your special day!

Also thank you to Pen Carlson Photography for capturing their Chicago style wedding day so vividly!

We could not be a happier  for the handsome couple!

at the elegant The Standard Club in Chicago.
All the candle light and lush rose petals enhanced the
mood and filled the room with enchantment!

Cut and placed in a vase they were left to either open or close. If the flower stayed
closed, the people were warned of the bad weather to come. If they
opened, it was sign that the season would be good!
Ours at the shop are open! With spring around the corner we are listening to the
Helleborus and awaiting the wonderful weather. Hope they are right!
