In between the ceremony and the reception, the couple snuck away to a nearby beach for a few photos. The origins of Jenifer’s gown remain a bit of a mystery. "When I bought it, it didn’t have a designer’s label attached to it, but I just loved the lacework," she says. She found it at Weddings in Armitage.

The flower girl wore a princess-worthy dress, made by the mother of the bride, while the ring bearer sported a tux from Formally Modern Tuxedo.

The couple’s guests were directed to their tables via escort cards attached to apples the bride had purchased in bulk.

Arrangements of wildflowers in mason jars and white ceramic vases decorated the tables, in keeping with the garden-like feel of the Winnetka Community House’s lush, landscaped. "We loved the setting’s natural feel," says the bride.
