Cantigny Park East Lawn Wedding in Wheaton, IL | Lauren and Will

Lauren and Will’s summer Cantigny Park wedding in Wheaton, IL was what every Illinois bride could hope for! With a stunning post-rain ceremony on the Cantigny East Lawn, portraits around the Rose Garden, and an evening filled with dancing in the Red Oak Room, this wedding was definitely one to be remembered. The only thing missing from this otherwise perfect day was the precense of Lauren and Will’s beautiful pups Lucy and Watson. Lucy was recently featured on Daily Dog Tag if you need to know what all her cuteness entails!

It is always stressful for any bride to know that it may rain on their wedding day, and for Lauren and Will that stress became a reality. Luckily for them though, that Illinois rain came and went as swiftly as it arrived- and it just barely delayed their beautiful ceremony, leaving behind some stunning clouds in it’s wake. Cantigny Park in Wheaton, IL provided the perfect backdrop for Lauren and Will’s wedding day, rain and all, with all of their ubiquitous gardens and locations. I can safely say that the rain was the only reason we had the chance to explore some of these locations uninterrupted, particularly the stunning Rose Garden. Cantigny Park has over 29 acres of land, which is one of the largest display gardens in the Midwest with more than 160,000 annuals, perennials, ground covers and flowering shrubs and trees.

It was such a blast getting to explore this exquisite garden location with Lauren and Will, and see them finally tie the knot on such an incredible summer day. Cantigny Park could not have provided a more beautiful setting for the two of them, rain and all! I’m also so stoked to admit that Lauren’s bouquet made by Kio Kreations was featured in Florist’s Review Wedding Edition as one of the best of the year! The colorful design of this wedding had me swooning all day long, and I’m glad the rest of the world agrees!
