Rachel + Benno were married in late August at the Blackstone Hotel in downtown Chicago. Some of my sweetest clients to date, they threw a classic and super elegant party in one of the most historic hotels in the city. On the day of their wedding I was chatting with Rachel while she was getting her hair done. I asked if she was doing okay and how the rehearsal dinner had gone the night before and then asked how Benno was doing and if she had heard from him that morning. She told me that Benno said, "Rachel, Elizabeth is seriously my second favorite woman in the world, right after you." Love that. Love when a groom sees the value in a planner and of course what a sweetheart he is to his bride. (Then Rachel told him I was her favorite, woop!) Enjoy the gorgeousness that follows.
