Constellations, a dragon cake, and BEARS at this Chicago planetarium wedding
Alex and Glenn were OVERFLOWING with ideas for their wedding. Alex’s Indian heritage was featured during the ceremony overlooking Lake Michigan in Chicago by focusing on a stunning mehndi-inspired aisle runner. They held it at the spectacular Adler Planetarium(!) which capitalized on Glenn’s love of constellations. Think outer space colors like deep fuchsia, purple, and blue, and “under the sea”-themed invitation suite, centerpieces featuring constellations and sea creatures,
Don’t miss the two epic dresses the bride wore, the fabulous dragon cake, and the constellation coloring book…

From hexagonal diamonds to kite-shaped gemstones to intricate and bold angular settings, there’s a ring here that will stop your heart.
From Bauhaus-inspired to Art Deco to the Mines of Moria, these geometric-inspired rings are angling to be on your finger…
Sasha and Masya’s 2018 wedding
Sasha and Masya said that when they met, it was love at first sight and it seemed like it had come straight out of ancient Greek mythology. So it made perfect sense to channel the gods in an ancient Greek ceremony pulling from modern Greek traditions. In terms of style, this is where the pair shined. Think transparent lace in Greek goddess style, a blue mohawk, lots of amazing ink, bare feet, bejeweled anklets, and a pleated white Greek-inspired skirt and white sandals on the groom.
Funky instruments & muted flowers at this dark and eclectic inspiration shoot at an old Brooklyn theater
I love how this inspiration shoot combines the traditional with the ultra eclectic, which seems to really reflect what’s happening in offbeat weddings right now. We’re all about embracing traditions we feel resonate and tossing out what doesn’t. The best part of this shoot for me was the venue: a dusty old theater in Red Hook, Brooklyn, called the Jalopy Theater. Think tons of funky instruments, dark and shadowy corners, and a wedding vibes that totally matches.
