1. Pay attention when driving into the city.  People in Chicago drive different then in Lexington. 
2. Fall weddings are HOT- ok we already knew this.
3. Fall wedding colors are metals – Bronze, Platinum, Gold and Silver! Love-it!!!
4. Glitz was everywhere and will be this fall too!  From gowns to jewelry and even your shoes- crystals, beading and rhinestones.
5. Always wear comfortable shoes while in Chicago- you walk everywhere.
6. When in Chicago you simply must eat at the Signature Lounge on the 95th at the John Hancock Building.
7. The Atwood Cafe has fabulous bread pudding – probably even better when served warm.  Our fault not theirs.
8. When it is cold, windy, raining or snowing the cab driver is your best friend.
9. WE LOVE THE HYATT REGENCY CHICAGO!  One of the best hotel experiences I have had.
10. Bridal Market is a blast, especially when paired with the StyleMax and the Living and Giving Markets!

So I could go on and on…. but I will spare you all of the details (you can totally email me with questions about our trip;).  We learned a lot and have tons of fun ideas to share with our clients.
