Weddingbee boards

Hi there everyone!!

While I live in Los Angeles, I was born and raised in Chicago and still consider it my "Hometown".  My FI and I will be getting married in the city in March '09!!! So far, we have been back to Chicago just once to start the process, but I have a feeling I will be making quite a few trips back to sort out all the details!

Actually, my next trip is over Memorial Day weekend to go Dress Shopping and speak with Photoraphers!!! 

WOO HOO for CHICAGO BOARD!!! 

Jasmine!!

Hi Ladies!

I grew up in Elmhurst and am now living in the West Loop. I'm currently planning my wedding for September 20, 2008. Can't believe how quickly time is passing! Can't wait to get to know the Chicago brides a little better on our local board!

Julia453 - we were neighbors! I grew up in Franklin Park!

Hello there!

I'm in the SouthWest Suburbs (Romeoville) and will be getting married in 4 weeks (06.07.08) in Wheaton! I'm originally from MI but moved to be with my fiancee'. I've been in the Chicagoland suburbs (Tinley Park and here) for about 8 years now. I'm very excited to talk with other brides about Chicago wedding stuff! Yippee!! :)

Hi everyone! I am planning a July 2009 wedding out in Naperville, which is my hometown and where I currently live. Nice to talk with other girls from the area!

 P.S. I love all you Chicago Bees!

Hey Ladies!! Yay for Chicago Brides!

 We just set our date for June 6th, 2009 at a place I know Mrs. Emerald is familiar with - The Hyatt Lodge in Oak Brook! The ceremony will be at my church in Western Springs (SW Suburb), right next to Hinsdale.

I am just getting started with all of my planning and couldn't be more excited! I welcome any suggestions you girls may have for Photographers/Bands/Day-of-Makeup or any Chi-town insider advice :)

Hi all! I live in Lakeview in Chicago-- but I'm getting married in upstate NY. So I'm straddling both these boards!

Hey Mrs. Radish-- I'm getting married in the Albany area. I grew up in Clifton Park, but our reception is in Troy, NY. YAY for upstate and Chicago pride!

Round Lake? yes, in high school my friends and I used to drive all around up there-- just killing time and gas on summer nights. And, yes we do have a venue--we're getting married at St. Mary's in Waterford, followed by reception at the Franklin Plaza in Troy. BTW, your wedding was just beautiful!

Hi Chicago bees! I live in Milwaukee now, but I grew up in Naperville and am getting married in August in Lemont (at the Narnia Estate).

So glad to have discovered WeddingBee -- and these boards are way better than theknot boards which are way more difficult to navigate and have some really mean bridezillas on them.

Joining this lovely party late, but I live in the West Loop, my parents live in Burr Ridge (close to Hinsdale) and I am having my wedding at the Narnia Estate in Lemont, in August of 2009. It's a little nerve-wracking because I just can't seem to find much information on the Narnia Estate since it is a relatively new venue, the first photographer I wanted (Life On Prints) was already booked for my wedding date, and also because I am trying to move to Portland, OR! Hi everyone!

Hi everyone!  I'm new to the Chicago local board.  My fiance and I live in Lakeview and we are getting married on August 08, 09.  We chose Meson Sabika, in Naperville, IL, for our ceremony and reception site. The color we picked are Navy, Hot Pink and Silver.  We are also all set on our photographer and videographer.  Other than that, I am very much overwhelmed with wedding planning so I decided to join the hive :)

Hey there! MI transplant to Logan Square now residing in the North burbs! We're on a minute budget and we're thinking of renting a local Park District building. It's no ordinary Park District! Very nice. Any other suggestions for extreme budgets- venues, caterers, etc??? Got the dress- yeah! My FI is Chinese-American, so any and all suggestions for catering/restaurants that would accommodate 80ish guests AND a dancefloor AND somewhat authentic Chinese food are MOST welcome!!!

Hi all!  I live in the West Loop (Washington & Halsted) and we're getting married November 15, 2008 ( so soon!!!!)  We are getting married at Fourth Presbyterian downtown and our reception is at the Tasting Room in the West Loop.  Yay for Chicago brides!!!!!  :-)

Congrats to all the recent engagements joining the chicago board :)

Our wedding is March 09 at Hotel Allegro - any other Allegro Brides on here?

We are also long distance planning from SoCal...makes things very interesting...FI and I will be racking up the frequent flier miles the next 5 months!
