These wedding photos by Meli | Chicago Wedding and Lifestyle Photographer capture more than just flowers — they document the details, traditions, and meaning woven into E & R’s day.
This celebration brought together two cultures, two families, and so many meaningful details, and we wanted the flowers to feel like a reflection of all of it.

Rich reds, punchy corals, soft blush, deep w**e tones, and touches of gold created a palette that felt bold, romantic, and deeply personal. Traditional red-and-gold textiles, statement fans, and thoughtful floral details were woven throughout the day, creating moments that felt connected to the couple rather than simply styled for them.

Because the smallest details can carry the most meaning. The colors, the textures, the traditions, the little nods to where you come from — they all become part of the story.

Every detail, thoughtfully designed specifically for you. ❤️

Statement pieces are a must and they should feel like they’re made for the space. That’s where the magic happens ✨🌿🪻

For this intimate dinner, we designed the floral specifically for the dining room, taking inspiration from Cheney mansion’s unique blending of Prairie style architecture and English country home aesthetics. The mantel arrangements were created with local grasses & blooms to frame the fireplace, while the lower installation brings that same sense of scale and movement into the room and toward the table.

Every detail was intentional, from the placement to the palette—and every piece was designed completely foam-free.

Because the best floral design doesn’t just fill a space. It is custom made for it.

Had to jump on this trend 🤪 Here are a few reasons to (un)follow me & trust me with the most important day of your life 😘

✨🌼✨🌼

-My labradoodles sleep on my pillow every night.
-Born & raised northsider!
-I’m so nostalgic that I still drive my dad’s ‘01 Chevy for deliveries. Fun fact: my dad was my first employee!
-I funded my business by teaching City Colleges of Chicago and I am a lifelong believer in the power of education.
-I still cry during our couples’ wedding vows.

Wanted to give this story a permanent place in our grid for our newest followers.

We ❤️ being a sustainable florist & event design company!!!

Here are our top 5 sustainable practices that help us create beautiful events that leave a smaller footprint on the planet.

💐 We source from local farms and even grow some of our own flowers. This cuts down on carbon emissions & is beneficial for bees & pollinators.
♻️ We NEVER use flower foam, which reduces microplastics & other harmful waste destined for landfills. We use chicken wire, Oshun packs, biodegradable & reusable water tubes.
💐 We compost our floral scraps with The Urban Canopy throughout the entire process, from design to event.
♻️ We own an extensive rental inventory of arches, chuppahs, pedestals, vases, and candles. Our clients do not need to buy from a marketplace & sell later
💐 We donate arrangements at no charge to our clients to give florals a second life after the big event.

Interested in having us design a sustainable event for you? Want to come check out the studio for event rentals? We are booking now for 2027 and would love to bring your vision to life.

Designing this ceremony was all about creating an immersive floral experience. Hanging blooms overhead, lush greenery climbing every column, and a palette driven by Spandana’s gorgeous wedding wardrobe. Yellows, tangerine and lavender with pinks and blush tones that felt both playful and elegant. Seeing it preserved on film by the incredible Chicago Photo & Film makes every detail feel even more timeless. ✨

Trends we love: coordinated but not matchy matchy wedding attire.

Gone are the days of identical dresses that really never worked for everyone nor were ever worn again.

We’re here for bridesmaid style that feels personal—different textures, necklines, patterns and shades that let each person look like themselves while still feeling beautifully cohesive. Our bouquets are created to do the same: coordinated, not cloned.

A rooftop first look above the Chicago River, candlelight glowing against brick walls, and florals designed to feel classic without feeling traditional.

For Megan + Casey, we kept the florals loose, textural, and quietly romantic — white garden roses, thistle, anemones, lisianthus, airy greenery, and tall delphinium to soften the industrial lines of the space . M & C’s bouquets were designed to coordinate beautifully while still tailored to each bride’s individual style & floral preferences.

From bouquets at their riverside portraits to a ceremony encircled with floral meadows followed by a candlelit reception with tall stemmed candles & foam free arrangements, the decor was designed to feel timeless and personalized.

Chicago weddings will forever have our hearts. ✨

Just married magic ✨
There’s nothing sweeter than that first walk together — hearts full, flowers in hand, and an entire celebration for you starting around you. We loved creating this lush, romantic ceremony moment layered with trailing greenery, soft candlelight, and rich garden florals for the happiest newlyweds. Also, just like all of our events, the one was 100% foam free.

At Anemone Chicago, we believe flowers should feel as alive and joyful as the people they’re designed for 🤍
