Getting Ready, First Looks, & The Details
The day kicked off with Leah getting ready at Greenhouse Loft, rocking the most stunning off-the-shoulder Jenny Yoo dress. The vibe? Absolutely timeless and sophisticated. Leah paired her look with a simple sheer veil inspired by Sophia Richie, creating the perfect blend of modern elegance and classic beauty.
Leah and Paul’s first looks were seriously heart-melting—not just with each other, but with their parents too. Paul shared a tender first look with his mom in the Greenhouse Loft’s dreamy glasshouse. You could see just how proud she was of him—it was such a beautiful moment. Then came Leah and Paul’s first look outside, and oh my goodness, and it was the sweetest thing ever. Leah also shared a heartfelt first look with her dad back in the glasshouse. Let me tell you, these are the moments that make my heart so full.
Greenhouse Loft Chicago Wedding Party Photos
Since Leah and Paul opted for a first look, we were able to capture their wedding party photos before the ceremony, which made the day flow seamlessly. Paul wore a classic black tux with a sharp bow, while his groomsmen nailed it in sleek gray suits and rich burgundy ties. The contrast of their attire against the modern vibes of Greenhouse Loft was absolutely spot-on!
Leah was a vision in her Jenny Yoo dress, and her bridesmaids perfectly complemented her in floor-length burgundy gowns, each carrying lush white floral bouquets by Flowers for Dreams. Together, the wedding party had the perfect balance of classic, modern elegance, making for a beautifully coordinated Greenhouse Loft Chicago wedding!
An Outdoor Greenhouse Loft Chicago Wedding Ceremony in The Sky Garden
The 3,500 square foot outdoor green space, known as the Sky Garden at Greenhouse Loft, was the perfect backdrop for Leah and Paul’s ceremony—an urban oasis filled with lush greenery and glowing natural light. They had rows of wooden chairs lining the manicured lawn, leading to a simple but stunning altar that was framed by white florals and delicate greenery.
I loved the modern vibe of the space. It blended seamlessly with the organic garden setting, creating a dreamy, romantic atmosphere. Leah and Paul’s Greenhouse Loft Chicago wedding ceremony was pure magic!
