Carasco Photography's "Brides, Bubbles, and Bliss" event took place at Chicago's Union Station earlier this spring. The event centered on a bridal fashion show and showcased ideas for tabletop design and wedding-appropriate snacks and drinks. Here's a look inside the flower-filled function, which provided plenty of inspiration for corporate functions and fund-raisers as well.
The bar offered wedding-theme cocktails from Real Russian vodka. One drink, the "Perfect Pair," combined vodka with ginger, pear, and thyme.

The evening had a showcase of tabletop design. Two Sisters Event Design's reception table was inspired by one of the gowns in the fashion show. The back of the dress had dramatic details that inspired the tropical plant and fern centerpieces.
