Inclusive LGBTQ+ Wedding in Chicago

This celebration began with a bold vision that embraced vibrant color, moved beyond traditional trends, and focused on creating a guest experience that felt intentional, elevated, and unforgettable. The Penthouse Hyde Park served as the perfect backdrop for this luxury Chicago wedding, offering sweeping views, refined architecture, and a two story bridal suite that instantly set the tone for an upscale and design forward celebration. From the moment planning began, the couple encouraged creativity and gave our team the freedom to push boundaries and bring an extraordinary vision to life.

The ceremony featured an abstract floral installation by Atmosphere Events Group that created a breathtaking sculptural backdrop and introduced the expressive design that defined the day. Alexa’s chic all white suit added a modern and fashion forward twist to traditional wedding attire, while her floral ring offered an elegant alternative to a bouquet and continued the theme of reimagining classic elements. Collaborating with Victoria at Atmosphere Events Group elevated the experience even further. Her artistry and commitment to unique and luxurious design allowed us to explore bold color, layered textures, and innovative concepts throughout the event.

The reception was a stunning display of seasonal florals, rich tones, and thoughtful styling. To create both comfort and sophistication, we designed a layout featuring long tables with luxurious chairs from Nuage Designs alongside round tables paired with crescent shaped couches from AFR Furniture Rental. This combination became a standout feature that blended style, warmth, and an inviting flow for guests. Each table was curated with gold rimmed chargers, black and gold flatware, gilded glassware, and Effortless Events’ signature blue water glasses, all sourced through Hall’s Rental. Personalized tassel place cards by Calligraphy by CT added a bespoke finishing touch. Christy Tyler Photography captured every detail with artistry and intention, preserving the beauty and emotion of this inclusive LGBTQ+ wedding in Chicago.

As Chicago wedding planners, we have had the privilege of designing countless celebrations, yet few experiences compare to the joy of being trusted to push creative boundaries. This wedding was a true reflection of that freedom, filled with luxury, innovation, and unforgettable moments.
