If you love classy, modern and are a bit out-of-the-box, check out this gorgeous August wedding in the heart of Chicago at the revered Peninsula Hotel. There is nothing more elegant than massive amounts of large white callas in glass vases or callas curving in a clean pattern all throughout a room. And we must never underestimate the power of candlelight. There is never ever too much candlelight.

The bride and groom: classy, ridiculously good-looking people. I simply adored every ruffle of the bride's dress. How does a ruffly dress end up looking so clean and sophisticated?

A recent trend that I am head over heels in love with is the "floating" arrangement. This design concept is realized in a lot of different ways, most especially with suspended orchid blooms in water, which is all the craze these days, but another way to really play with the illusion of "floating" has been with vases and stands.

Here's a better picture below illustrating that. I took it with a point-and-shoot, so bear with me on the poor quality of my humble image.

An all-craspedia bouquet! I wish there were more photos of this. Great fun putting this gem together.

Just thought the callas mirroring the bowing (or vice versa) was just visually too fun and perfect. Nicely done Jimi Allen Photography!
