An Elegant and Monocrhomatic Wedding in Chicago

We love to create timeless aesthetics which will never date, but continue to look effortlessly glamorous over years to come.

A Regal, Opulent and Decadent Chicago Wedding

The vision our bride Natalie brought to us was immediately inspiring…

Regal, decadent, elevated, opulent.

She wanted their cocktail hour to feel like a regal Garden Party, where the guests felt like they were walking into the Palace of Versailles. French excess, British hosting, and a decadent reception space dripping in gold.

A Winter Garden Wedding Reception at Sennowe Park

A Garden Welcome Party at Sennowe Park

A welcoming party, like this, is the first moment at which we establish the atmosphere you’re trying to create; a bubble for your guests and yourselves to inhabit for the duration.

This Welcome celebration at Sennowe set Sam and Stacey in an atmosphere grounded by the romance, informality and timeless elegance of nature. Celebrating this first party with guests amongst beautiful floral abundance against the distant, more structured backdrop of the impressive Edwardian country house of Sennowe itself provides a warmer and gentler beginning, where new faces can greet one another, and old ones can embrace and catch up.
