"A Night At The Museum” - Vendor Event at 21c Museum Hotel

Written by Curator Erin Martin, owner of ECBG Cake Studio

What happens when you put some of the top Chicago wedding vendors in one room together? Only the coolest and chicest wedding open house soiree, of course. 21c Museum Hotel’s art filled backdrop was the perfect setting for an afternoon filled with tastings, mingling, and wedding inspiration.

To set the scene, there were a fantastic line up of vendors that helped enhance the gallery space. The team at Art of Imagination created a suspended greenery masterpiece made from every bohemian bride’s dreams, paired with a romantic table scape of gold-trimmed plating in between rose-filled centerpieces and brightly lit candles. Personalized name cards and menus created by Smitten Boutique Shop were laid atop each plate. Dreamy linens from BBJ Linens were spread across each table and draped around the room to create a ceremonial backdrop.

Guests were treated to bubbly upon entry from Bellissima Prosecco, on the spot glam sessions by The Bridal Beauty Team, and sweet treats by ECBG Cake Studio. Bridal gowns and accessories were on display from Dantela Bridal Couture and local jewelry designer, Kendra Scott, held a special pop up displaying her new jeweled-studded pieces. Last but not least, the entertainment provided by Fig Media had all the vendors and guests dancing and grooving as they mingled. It was an afternoon well spent and we couldn’t thank the amazing vendors who helped put this soiree together.
