Modern Tropics: A Luxurious, Floral-Inspired Chicago Style Shoot

The vision for this shoot was to create a luxurious and exotic scene in a modern Chicago venue. Despite a small snafu with the plants not surviving the Chicago temperatures in February—mended by a trip to a floral wholesaler—this vision came to life perfectly! When deciding the details for this day, the team based everything on what would make the florals pop the most. They settled on a simplistic yet modern design with numerous black and white elements that elevated the atmosphere of the scene. As for the florals themselves, they utilized anthurium, green hydrangea, calla lilies, draping amaranthus and ranunculus to fill the space. Each bloom has a unique design that can stand on its own, but when placed with the rest of the florals, it created a stunning array of textures and designs that make this shoot feel like it was set far from the windy city. We love how simple yet luxurious this shoot turned out with all the neutral, elegant details!

 

What We Love

Even with the focus on the flowers, the bride and groom still shine in this shoot! The groom wore a classic black suit to match the elevated theme, while the bride stunned in a sleek satin gown. The bride kept her makeup natural, subtly accentuating her features and highlighting her beauty. She wanted to feel like an enhanced version of herself, and we think this overall look did just that!
