Industrial Chic: An Elegant Shoot in a Rustic Chicago Venue

Though it was once a popular hangout in Chicago, this space is now a brand new industrial wedding venue that this team wanted to highlight in an opulent manner. “While brick and industrial is very in right now, there is not much like it in Schaumburg. They mainly have banquet spaces,” Nikki Rodgers, the planner of this shoot, explains. “I knew we could deliver them a one-of-a-kind look to enhance the elegance to their rustic location.” Nikki wanted to pull in a lot of cool tones to emulate the feel of the cold weather that hits Chicago in the winter. The team chose to feature a lot of different textures like satin and jute to juxtapose the elegance and rustic feels of the shoot. We love the silver charger plates, the floral runners and the opulent glassware on the tablescapes, too. Another elegant touch was the cake! The paper-thin white layers are a unique look, and it was the perfect high-end addition to this shoot. It even kind of mirrored the dress the bride wore!

What We Love

No wedding shoot is complete without a blushing bride and dashing groom, and they both look stunning! Nikki chose a classic black suit with a bowtie, which nailed the elegant look perfectly. As for the bride, she wore an elegant and classic fit-and-flare gown. We love the sleek material as well as the beauty of the modest train. Keeping with the simple and timeless look, the beauty team styled her hair in an elegant sideswept ponytail. Since the bride is a makeup artist, she applied her own glamorous look that we love!
