Artistic, Romantic, Lush Late Fall Wedding at The Sarabande
When Sarah had approached us about providing lighting and ceiling drapery for her October wedding at The Sarabande, here in Chicago, we couldn't have been more excited! For our team of creatives (most of us have backgrounds in theatre and the performing arts), her and Derek's slide deck of inspiration and vibes was everything. It was cool to be able to so immediately understand their vision and that each and every detail would be thought out and matter.
Our lead designer, Patrick, loves being able to say "yes," so when we were able to recreate their ceiling inspiration photo to work for the space at The Sarabande, Sarah and Derek were thrilled. Just as our couple paid attention to each and every small detail (as seen in their lay-flat photo above from the amazing team at Berlez), we did too! Our team was able to take the Pantone colors from the couple's color palette and color-match the focal point ceiling fabric--blending seamlessly into their artistic vision.
This ceiling draping transformed The Sarabande's urban-feel to a romantic and breath-taking, Oscars-like feel that Sarah & Derek were going for. As with all of our services, we came prepared with multiple plans to secure the ceiling installation, as well as some additional fabric length options, allowing us to tailor the design to fit in with their table spacing, as well as work within some of the confines of The Sarabande's ceiling. We absolutely cannot overlook the amazing floral design done by Thistle & Plume. This piece that hung above the sweetheart table was amazing! Everything was so dark, lush, and romantic!
The red drapery not only made the perfect backdrop for their ceremony, but effortlessly framed their sweetheart table (which served as a photo-op area later in the evening!).
Because we absolutely cannot get enough if this couple's artistic vision, here are a few photos of our most favorite details from their wedding day:
Their cake was super on trend and completely captured the aesthetic of the evening.
Even the couple's champagne tower matched the color palette!
This was such a cute idea in lieu of a traditional guestbook. The records and record player perfectly echoed some of the vintage touches from their wedding day.
Cheers to a lifetime of happiness, Sarah & Derek! Thank you for trusting us to be a part of your wedding day!
