Effortlessly Glamorous Styled Shoot at the Sable Hotel Navy Pier
Our inspiration for this styled shoot began with The Gilded Aisle Weddings pulling together a few of their favorite bridal concepts and brought them to life. The Effortlessly Glamorous Bridal Shoot produced alluring Hollywood features including our glammed up movie star bride, personalized popcorn place cards, the perfect pops of lipstick red, and much more. Our A-List vendor team truly went above and beyond to create this fabulous show stopping shoot!
The breathtaking stationary thought up by Emery Ann Design use the goil foil technique to give the invitations beautiful script a little extra shine. It is complimented with a gold wax seal, red bow, and hints of red within the stamps.
UnMuddled Bartending created a sleek red speciality cocktail with a gin base and blood orange garnish finish with black salt around the rim.
Mona, owner of Mona's Sweet Spot, could not have created a more fitting cake for our glamorous photoshoot! She took our idea of pops of red and transformed it into beautiful rose petal detail surrounding the cake. Mona only took it further by adding hints of gold around the petals and brushing the cake as well to match the gold table settings. And best of all, it was delicious!
The talented Andre LaCour of LaCour Images produced the most perfect shots and Lara, with Old North Film Company, delivered stunning video footage from throughout the day, making us all feel like movie stars.
Our bride first wore a stunning Pronovias dress provided by Mira Couture which had a high neck, sheer short sleeved top with beautiful detailing attached to a luxurious long fitted skirt with a middle slit to show a little of her fabulous James Ciccotti jeweled pointed shoes. Her second dress by Eisen Stein, also provided by Mira Couture, included a plunging neck line and full skirt with a great deal of pearls and glitter detailing throughout. To top off the look the bride had a round hand tied bouquet with red roses and jewels accents.
Ellie & Rose so graciously provided the stunning glass curved table with matching white and gold chairs. Anthony Gowder Designs then added the beautiful white florals including roses, hydrangeas, and snapdragans, as well as size stemmed glass candlesticks, in staggered heights with floating candles and an abundance of smaller mercury gold votive candles.
The place settings consisted of gold chargers with lead like attributes completed by gold and white salad plates resting on top provided by Tablescapes. As well as flatware provided by Ellie & Rose. The delicious place cards designed by Garrett Popcorn gave a not to our Hollywood Glam theme and was a sweet treat for each guest!
Barbara Parker Fine Jewelry showered our bride with jewels such as an 18kt white gold and 18kt yellow gold pave diamond bombe ring, diamond bangles, and a 18kt white diamond button ring. For the bride's second look she was given stunning pearl earrings provided by Barbara Parker which complimented the pearl headband, pearl lined veil, and gown.
Our fabulous beauty team gave our bride the VIP treatment and made her look like a real movie star. Elise Brill, owner of Leesi B Artistry and Cosmetics, applied a layered frosted eye shadows to create a bright eye smokey look and transitioned into a super smokey eye with a layered lash for the second look. Nicci Loiacono, owner of Luxe Brides By Nicci, provided our bride with soft glam waves into a pouffy ponytail with added accessories.
