Jason & Melissa’s Wedding: Chicago Yacht Club

Posted on Rose

I can’t believe it’s been a whole year since this fabulous wedding at the Chicago Yacht Club. I’m ashamed that I’m only just now sharing it! I guess I should have titled this post “Happy Anniversary Jason & Melissa” instead. 🙂 Jason and Melissa both love sailing so when they got engaged there was no question where they’d be tying the knot. The couple did a wonderful job including their sailing teams and other nautical details. We were honored to be a part of this wonderful celebration at the Chicago Yacht Club. Thanks to Justine Bursoni for capturing the incredible photographs!

And since we’re in the thick of wedding season right now, I thought I’d help you all out. Here’s an inexpensive DIY wedding present that’s both beautiful and meaningful for the happy couple. I made this for my dear cousin who married the love of her life last December. Their story involves so many states it was hard to decide which to include. She grew up outside Chicago while he spent his childhood in a small Ohio town. When they met she was living in Kansas and he was in Nebraska. They dated long distance for awhile and got engaged. Then a new job found them moving together to Cleveland. Does your head hurt yet? Mine too. I decided to go with hometown love. Illinois and Ohio it is! Step One: Make your states. 1. Find and print an image of your selected states. 2. Carefully cut out your states. I found it was much easier to get around all the curvy lines using these tiny scissors
