Summer Rooftop Wedding in Chicago

Summertime weddings in Chicago are some of my favorites, especially because the availability of outdoor venues! Ashley & Ryan celebrated their wedding on the rooftop at Morgan’s on Fulton; the entire vibe of the wedding was intimate and nothing short of romantic. The Chicago city views, the classy candles, and subtle summer color palette created such a dreamy ambiance. Check out the beautiful photos by Lauren Sims to feel inspired for your summer wedding!

The bride and groom didn’t miss a beat when it came to style and class. Ryan was looking dapper with his classic bowtie and Ashley was literally radiating with her strapless silk dress. Their wedding looks matched perfectly with the historic Chicago city architecture. If you want iconic and timeless wedding photos, Chicago is without a doubt the place to get married!

The couple said their “I Do’s” with this summer vibe backdrop! We curated a low C-shaped floral hedge with their summer color palette of white, light peach/pink and pops of light yellow and orange (we made sure not to skimp on the greenery for this to give it a fuller look). The flowers we used were eremerus, ranunculus, zinnias, roses, marigolds and snap dragons. We later moved this hedge to the reception to be the decor for the sweetheart table! We’re all about finding ways to reuse and be sustainable over here ;).

This bouquet had us swooning. It’s soft and subtle but still feels like summer with those pops of orange and peach.

Before we get into reception decor, check out the rooftop venue at Morgan’s on Fulton! It has both an indoor/outdoor layout and it’s perfect for enjoying the summertime vibes that Chicago gives. And those twinkle lights without a doubt created a romantic ambiance once the sun set.

The long dinner tables at the reception were giving “summer in full bloom” vibes. The natural wood tables seriously looked like a gorgeous flower field that was thriving! The couple chose to have low centerpieces with flowers such as zinnias, marigolds, coneflowers, gerbera daisies, roses, snapdragons, and yarrow. We also added small bud vases throughout the tables!
