Micies, meet Heather and Andrew, who got married in Chicago's Newberry Library. I love this wedding--gorgeous modern aesthetic with a DIY core and plenty of poachable ideas. My favorite: orchid blossoms suspended on fishing line.
Heather and Andrew wrote the ceremony themselves, in order to make it personal. They drew inspiration from traditional and nontraditional sources--from other weddings to books to things they found online.

"From the very beginning we knew we wanted our ceremony to reflect who we really are and it was really important to us to achieve that," Heather says. "We asked one of our best friends from college to officiate and it felt so much more personal to have someone officiating who has known us since we became an 'us.'"
I like the bridesmaids in neutrals with the bright bouquets. I may end up doing something similar, if bright dresses cannot be found.

Heather says, "We also put a lot of thought into the music for the ceremony--my husband proposed using a flip book similar to the 'to me you are perfect' signs in Love Actually (my favorite movie)--so I walked down the aisle to the Glasgow Love Theme from the movie."
I love this canopy, with its floaty blossoms and its bundled fabric and light.
