\"Classic-Illinois-Wedding-Rachael-Schirano-11\"<\/p>\n

A classic wedding doesn’t have to feel stuffy or stiff, and Kate and Brodie’s Illinois wedding perfectly blends soft elements in with a classic feel for a beautiful celebration of their love. The gold and deep navy color palette is so beautiful against all the greenery at Allerton Park Retreat<\/a>, and we love that the blue calls back to Kate’s extremely gorgeous sapphire ring. Rachael Schirano Photography<\/a> captured the effortless joy and stunning styling throughout their wedding day.<\/p>\n

The Wedding:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Allerton Park Retreat and Conference Center<\/a>, Monticello, Illinois<\/p>\n

The Inspiration:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I wanted a mix between a classic, clean cut wedding mixed with the ethereal, soft elements of a garden. This fit our venue perfectly with the historic mansion and beautiful formal gardens. I wanted the groomsmen and bridesmaids to be simple and streamlined to allow them to stand out in the beautiful setting.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Moments:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Our favorite moment was the first dance. We had taken all of two dance classes to try and learn swing for the swing band we used for the wedding. Brodie<\/span> had been so focused during the classes, and on the big day he relaxed and was making me laugh during the whole thing.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Couple Recommends:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Rachael Schirano was the best. So easy, professional, and artistic to work with. The Rhythm Rockets also put on such a great time. Everyone was on the dance floor even though it was “old school” music!<\/em><\/p>\n
