Step into the drama, decadence, and indulgence of Baroque. ✨ Last night, Bloom transformed into a gilded dream—ornate details, lavish florals, and a setting fit for royalty. A night of pure opulence, where every corner was a masterpiece.

Congratulations to @celebrateatbloom and their team on an unforgettable launch party—Chicago’s event scene just got a whole lot more special. ❤️ taken in Chicago, Illinois by @cjjanda

How has it almost been a year since you two got married?! Time flies when you’re a power couple that hasn’t stopped moving since they returned from their Italian honeymoon post Charleston nuptials last Labor Day Weekend. Despite their inspiring work-ethic and non-stop schedules, these two remained calm, cool, and collected through it all; Joe always ready with a joke followed by Serena’s infectious laughter at every planning call or meeting. ⁠
⁠
We hope you ALWAYS stay in the your honeymoon phase, just as sweet and down to earth as always, Mr. & Mrs. Amabile, because it looks just as good on you now as it did back then. ⁠
⁠
Love you both! ⁠
⁠
P.S. if you’re heading to a summer wedding anytime soon, peep @wellsadams and @sarahhyland’s fits for guest dressing inspiration... ⁠

Soft light, and the people who matter most.

Maddie’s morning was full of anticipation, the kind that comes with a day this meaningful, and through it all she carried herself with quiet grace. She put so much of herself into curating a bridal wardrobe that felt entirely her own, styled by @robertnoiastyle, with gowns by @mariegabrielcouturebridal and @mira_couture.

We may be a little biased, but this is officially our favorite map of Chicago. 🤍

Our gorgeous Bride and Groom had this beautiful watercolor map commissioned for their wedding, featuring some of Chicago’s most iconic places — Wrigley Field, The Bean, the Chicago Theatre, the Art Institute, the Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium and more.

But our favorite part? Seeing Bloom Events painted right alongside them.

This fall, the lovely couple will begin their wedding day with a ceremony at The Honeycomb and then make their way to Bloom to celebrate with all of their favorite people.

It’s incredibly special to see Bloom become one of the places that represents their story in Chicago, and even more special knowing this little piece of artwork will live on long after their wedding day.

We can’t wait to celebrate with you this October. Welcome to Bloom. 🤍

And yes… we’re absolutely framing this one in our minds forever. (Artist : Robyn Love Steele; designsbyrobynlove.com) taken in Bloom Events by @cjjanda

I love finding how the light alters the little details of a wedding day: shadows thrown across stationery, candlelight flickering against the wall, a disco ball throwing sparkles around the room.

Some favorite details from @pashirk & @reedrognes's day.

✨POV: Don’t debate, get the custom neon sign. ✨

One day you may meet a boy at a dive bar. Recreate the iconic neon sign on Division St. for your own wedding…then if you’re lucky?

2a nights become 7a morning’s dancing to Selena’s biddi biddi with your baby girl. Tutus mandatory 💃🏻

The Assignment: Plan a four day destination wedding experience for two snow loving, hiking obsessed adventurers, living in two different states while completing their residencies. Did we mention they’re also badass ER doctors?! 🏔️❄️

We searched across the U.S. for the perfect place to bring everyone together. Ultimately, the search took us a little farther north, to Banff and the iconic Fairmont Banff Springs. 🇨🇦

Four days. One epic destination. An experience completely their own.

A color palette should tell a story. 🤍

For this celebration, we layered warm neutrals with soft mauves and abundant greens to create a design that felt understated, organic, and deeply personal. Every floral moment, from the ceremony through the reception, was intentionally connected, allowing the story to unfold naturally throughout the day.

One of our favorite details honored the groom's Turkish heritage. Each bud vase was designed in an authentic Turkish tea cup, a meaningful nod to his roots that also became a keepsake for each member of their immediate family.

The most memorable palettes aren't the boldest or the trendiest. They're the ones that reflect the couple and weave their story into every thoughtful detail.

The Guest Journey through food. 🍽️

For this couple, the guest experience was everything.

As Chicago restaurateurs and lifelong food lovers, every stop of the celebration reflected who they are. It began with a heartfelt ceremony, followed by cocktails and dinner at Cabra, the rooftop restaurant from James Beard Award winning chef Stephanie Izard. Every course was thoughtfully curated, right down to late night Billy Goat Diner cookies.

Then, guests made their way from the rooftop to the hidden basement speakeasy, Lazy Bird, where the celebration continued over expertly crafted cocktails (and le duh, danced the night away).
