Chicago New Years Eve Wedding Inspiration

What better way to ring in a new year than by marrying your best friend surrounded by your loved ones!

When you think of New Years Eve, what’s the first thing that pops in to your head? For me it’s POPPIN BUBBLY 🍾πŸ₯‚ The inspiration for the decor of this wedding was taken from champagne bubbles. We had an amazing team of talented vendors bring this New Years Inspired wedding concept to life!

If you’re looking for a bold statement, these acrylic and gold leaf wedding invitation screams elegance! These invites were made by Paper Love Club.

The bride wore a beautiful beaded vintage style dress from Wish Upon a Dress, a nonprofit whose mission is to grant weddings and vow renewals to couples facing serious illness or life-altering health circumstances. This is such an amazing organization that really helps change peoples lives!

The 20’s style hairdo was done by I Do Hair by Kimberly and her bold eye and dewy makeup look was done by the talented Erika Alexis Beauty. The winteresque bouquet is the perfect winter floral arrangement for the snowy weather Chicago typically has this time of year!

The groom wore a traditional black tux from The Groomsman Suit giving him a formal timeless look.

This modern imaginative take on a champagne bubble arch for the ceremony was built and styled by Chic from Chicago and Stemming from Love florals! It was the ultimate New Years styled wedding arch!

Company 251 in Aurora was the perfect venue for this modern 20’s vibe! The detailed paneling on the wall and modern light fixtures give your wedding an elevated feel! The best part is that you won’t have to bring much to decorate other than florals and decor for the tables at this venue, it’s so beautiful!

Speaking of table decor, these elevated 20’s style table rentals are from The Festive Frog matched with the acrylic name tags for the wedding party! Chic from Chicago tied all the elements together in styling the table scape!

The table was such an eye catcher because of this gorgeous hanging floral centerpiece by Stemming from Love! I am still in awe of it😍
