Urban brick architecture meets lush botanical styl

Urban brick architecture meets lush botanical styling. 🌿✨

John and Mary Elisabeth’s celebration at @the.arbory was a masterclass in bringing warmth and texture into a blank-canvas industrial space. From a suspended greenery installation framing the ceremony backdrop to moody, candlelit tablescapes for the evening reception, every detail was carefully curated to create an intimate, garden-inspired atmosphere.

There couldn’t have been a more perfect venue to have this spring wedding than North Pond in Lincoln Park. To complement the beautiful space, we drew inspiration from the art deco and art nouveau movement and incorporated design elements to highlight the natural beauty outside.
