Birdcage & Blushers brings an architectural approach to wedding planning and design in Chicago — balancing empathy with precision so your celebration is not only beautiful, but thoughtfully orchestrated.

We don't just execute ideas. We refine them, align them, and ensure every decision supports the overall experience. The result is a wedding that feels entirely, unmistakably yours.

For weddings of 100+ guests, most of our couples invest between $75,000 and $100,000+ in their wedding weekend, with wedding planning engagements typically ranging from $10,000 – $20,000+, depending on the level of support, scope, and complexity of the celebration.

The goal is to invest intentionally. We'll help you understand where your priorities, guest experience, and overall vision are best supported, and make informed decisions about where your budget will have the greatest impact.

We do have Chicago wedding vendors we love and trust — photographers, florists, caterers, and others we've built strong working relationships with. But our recommendations are never commission-driven.

We align every couple with vendors who are the right fit for their vision and their budget, full stop. You'll never be steered toward someone because it benefits us. Our job is to protect your investment with honest, unbiased guidance from the very first vendor conversation.

Birdcage & Blushers is proudly based in Chicago and plans weddings throughout the city and surrounding suburbs.

We also serve destination clients across the U.S. and abroad who value a seamless, intentionally led planning experience — wherever their celebration takes place.
