Carolyn and Daniel’s wedding was at Garfield Park Conservatory, one of the largest and most stunning conservatories in the nation — a giant greenhouse that displays landscape art under glass. There’s no doubt that the couple’s love can only blossom from here! Womp womp. OK, bad joke, but seriously, how beautiful is this venue? The couple met in the dorms while in undergrad at University of Chicago and still reside in the neighborhood, so Chicago really is a place where their love continues to grow.
It’s nice when a groom is involved in his own wedding! Daniel made the chocolate truffle favors and he fully designed his bride’s engagement ring and damask wedding pattern using computer software. He also wrote the ketubah text, and his grandfather’s tallit (prayer shawl) was hung over him and Carolyn in the chuppah. Also sweet to note: Carolyn’s bouquet had sweet peas (her grandparents call her “Sweet Pea”) and the wine used in ceremony was made by her family.
Mazel tov, Carolyn and Daniel!
