Rose and David had a simple plan for their big day: keep it intimate with close family and friends. Their venue of choice, Lacuna Lofts in the West Loop of Chicago, was spot on. They tied the knot on the rooftop, which quickly transformed into a sunset cocktail hour. Then, they headed to the first level for the reception, where a choreographed first dance, heartfelt speeches, laughter, and dancing took center stage.

The venue just can’t be beat. It’s got killer city views, especially from the rooftop during the summer. The place has that modern industrial vibe, and it is in the ideal location to capture stunning city portraits.

Rose was all about style. For the ceremony and reception, she rocked an off-the-shoulder gown with a thigh-high slit. It was gorgeous! Then, for her second look, she went for a sleeveless white satin number with a flared skirt. She swapped out her long veil for a shorter one because a veil was clearly still a must as she danced the night away. 

I loved all the details at this event! Picture this: a champagne tower, a neon sign with their shared name on the brick wall, and a clever move of the ceremony arch, making it the backdrop for their sweetheart table during the reception. Smart, right?

Let’s not forget the flowers. Seasonal florals stole the show, with roses and delicate greenery adding an extra touch of beauty. Low, floral centerpieces decked out the reception space, and guests took home a sweet local honey jar as a favor.

Rose and David’s Lacuna Lofts wedding was a true reflection of their love celebrated with those who matter most. It was a night filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments against the backdrop of a city that can’t be beat! That’s part of what makes Chicago weddings so special, they capture the couple and the city all in one beautiful package. Cheers to Rose and David, and may their love story continue to be as sweet as that local honey!
