White and gold Chicago wedding

One of the most beautiful venues for a Chicago wedding is definitely the Adler Planetarium.  The outside patio has a breath-taking view of the skyline that doesn't disappoint.  It's the perfect backdrop.  This couple had gorgeous weather for their outdoor ceremony.  The bride wanted me to frame the bride and groom with branches which is always tricky in summer when blooming branches are done for the season.  But, I'd say we did a pretty good job creating blooming branches with birch and orchids.

Inside the reception space bold gold accents and black and white striped runners created a gorgeous modern, elegant feel.  The bride provided amazing tall gold hurricane vases which was a great compliment to the tall arrangements of hydrangea and branches.

The bridal party carried babys breath bouquets while the bride opted for a fluffy bouquet of ivory and white flowers.  The groomsman and flower girls complimented the bridal party with babys breath as well.
