wedding day 'do', a new Chicago business is taking the stress out

Information on Bridal Expo Chicago |
In Chicago, the average wedding budget is 26 thousand dollars! The
biggest cost of course is the reception and everyone wants theirs
to be unique! So to scope out all the hottest styles, Bridal Expo
Chicago is your one-stop-wedding-planning-shop! About 20 shows a year
are held in hotels throughout Chicago & the suburbs where you can
find everything from tuxes to photographers! Lou Canellis caught up
with Bridal Expo Chicago President Bill Brennan-the expert for all
the latest trends for your big day! Bill says the traditional sit
down dinner is a thing in the past. Now, what's really funky and chic
is deconstructing a main dinner and doing smaller size potions so
that they can be butler passed around the entire cocktail hour, giving
guests a better opportunity to mingle!

It is well known as one of the country’s premiere fine art institutions
but the Art Institute of Chicago is now also making a name for itself
in the wedding business! A little over a year ago, the famous art
museum began renting out 5 of its well-known spaces for weddings and
