The Landscape of a Family Wedding
Last weekend, we celebrated my brother's (Adam) wedding. Everything was amazingly perfect and elegant. Even the weather behaved. But the joy of witnessing the union of two loving people proved the highpoint...
They were married on a best friend's rooftop in Chicago. Here are two shots of the area just behind where the ceremony unfolded. One shows a spruce that had died. The host & hostess were so creative that they painted the needle-less conifer gold and (the next day when the wedding took place) perched a multitude of origami cranes on its sculptural branches.
Below, see the cool shadow...on an unusual marriage of roof, drainage and astro-turf.
Then, look one image further to the elegance of the cakes (two were gluten-free...and yummy: yippee!). They embody the wedding's tres chic black & white color scheme. Well, a few chartreuse orchids did slip in as garnish.
