A Celestial Garden in Chicago: The Real Wedding of Grace & Evin Kilicarslan

Because they wanted to host an intimate wedding, Grace and Evin looked into venues that wouldn't overpower their smaller guest count. They ended up choosing the perfect spot, which overlooks Lake Michigan for beautiful ceremony pictures. They created a celestial garden theme to play off of their venue, The Adler Planetarium. In true summer wedding fashion, Grace and Evin opted for plenty of colors, but mostly stuck to the cooler side of the palette with plenty of pinks, blues and purples to resemble galaxies and baby blues for the clear blue skies over Lake Michigan. One of our favorite details is Grace's elegant off-the-shoulder satin gown that tops off this beautiful wedding scene. We also love the J. R. R. Tolkien cake, sign and guest book that gives a nod to the couple's love for Lord of the Rings!

 

What We Love

Flowers played a large part in this wedding to marry the celestial styles to the garden theme. The real statement piece was the seven foot crescent moon designed by Sugarfield Flowers! Filled with lush roses and hydrangeas, this arbor brought a new meaning to "love you to the moon and back"!
