“Aren’t you somethin’ to admire? ‘Cause your shine is somethin’ like a mirror. And I can’t help but notice, You reflect in this heart of mine.” Jump into these gorgeous photos from the 1st Chicago NotWedding and you can almost hear Justin Timberlake serenading you. We were literally blown away in the Windy City – from the breathtaking views of City View Loft to the crazy talented vendors and the absolutely beautiful cast. It is with great pleasure that we share this inaugural event highlight with you – enjoy!

Inspiration
Is this a wedding or an Oscars after party? Chicago vendors were challenged to think of ways to be tailored, formal and almost masculine while still appealing to a bride. This old Hollywood, Justin Timberlake vibe coupled with our model couple, Ashley and Brian, really couldn’t be better. Hats off to you, Chicago!
