Classic Jewish Wedding with a Modern City Twist

It’s always so special to see how love is celebrated through different and diverse cultures! This last spring we had the honor of curating flowers for Sarah and Jacob’s Jewish wedding at The Westin River North in Chicago. Flower arches are my thing and in Jewish wedding ceremonies, they’re known as Chuppahs! A chuppah is basically a canopy that the couple stands under during their ceremony. Flowers can be adorned all around or made focal point at the top center of the chuppah (this is the route we took—check it out below!). The spring vibes were so high with the use of mostly white and pastel flowers that so beautifully matched the bride and bridesmaids’ dresses (and the stunning lake!). Peep through the beautiful photos below taken by Dominika Photography if you’re looking for some inso for a classic-styled wedding!

Colorful, Spring Queer Wedding Styled Shoot at Sarabande

We had a BLAST creating this colorful styled shoot at one of Chicago’s newest venues in Roscoe Village - Sarabande. A styled shoot is where a team of various wedding vendors come together to showcase their talents to add to their portfolios. Basically, we put together a pretend aspirational wedding- with all the creative aspects we've been itching to create. For this shoot, I wanted to showcase a queer wedding since I didn't have that many in my portfolio and it aligns with my love is love ideology. I also wanted to create something colorful, ethereal and filled to the brim with flowers!!
