A super chic urban forest wedding in the heart of Chicago #Real Weddings: Midwest US#black dress#chicago#illinois#multi-colored dress#tattooed bride Updated Mar 15 2021 (Posted Mar 31 2017) Catherine Clark bijouxandbits Photos by: Riverbend Studio Photos by Riverbend Studio Karen and Bill wanted a stylish urban forest wedding in Chicago, and somehow managed to bring in so much of nature into a chic city space. Air plants, succulents, ferns, logs, herbs, and manzanita branches created the most lush forest we've seen in a wedding yet… without actually being a forest, of course! For a little nerdery in their ceremony, they used Star Trek: The Next Generation theme. Every nerd needs a niche, especially in a wedding as fab as this one. Oh, and when you see their late night snacks (think a fry bar and s'mores!), you'll be ogling. Want to see?

I really love the altar – decoration is breathtaking! Reply Everything about this wedding, the decor, and bride are so beautiful!
