Pastel Garden: The Real Wedding of Ali Greenwood & Jay Sarkis in Chicago

Wanting to find a spot that felt like an escape from the rush of the city, Ali and Jay found a venue that created a capsule of peace for them and their guests. Surrounded by lush greenery, the venue felt like a hidden garden oasis tucked within Chicago. To let the natural beauty of the setting shine, the couple opted for a soft palette of white and baby blue, creating a timeless and elegant aesthetic without competing with the landscape. Delicate pastel accents, a stunning glass ceiling and thoughtfully curated glassware throughout the tablescapes enhanced the airy, romantic atmosphere!

What We Love

Ali and Jay chose a less traditional approach for their ceremony, opting not to have a wedding party standing beside them at the altar. Instead, the moment was shared solely between the couple and their officiant, creating an atmosphere that felt especially personal and intimate. They carried that sense of connection throughout the day by sharing a first look and exchanging private vows before the ceremony. These quiet moments together allowed them to soak in the significance of the day before celebrating with all of their closest family and friends!
