A Colorful Fruit-Inspired Wedding at The Chicago Illuminating Company

Emily and Grant’s wedding reimagined classic urban elegance through a bold, fruit-inspired lens, transforming the Chicago Illuminating Company into a vibrant celebration of color, texture, and personality. Rather than leaning into the muted tones often associated with industrial venues, this design embraced playful citrus hues, rich berry accents, and unexpected pops of tangerine, raspberry, and lime.
