Lily & Nick’s Bottom Lounge Wedding with Stylish Details

Last September, I had the pleasure of kicking off Labor Day weekend with Lily and Nick’s Bottom Lounge wedding! These two have been such a joy to hang with, and really wanted their wedding day to feel intimate, relaxed, and FUN 🙂 Not only did it totally match this vibe… their day was also filled with unique, stylish details!

Wedding day began at The Emily in Chicago’s West Loop, with Nick and Lily getting ready separately. After their emotional first look in front of Fora, it was time to tour the city with the wedding party! We stopped at two of my favorite iconic Chicago locations: Olive Park and the Kinzie bridge. This crew was a blast to hang with… and Lily and Nick were ALL smiles!

Bottom Lounge Wedding

Bottom Lounge is one of my favorite wedding venues in Chicago. It has that fun, live music atmosphere, as well as exposed brick and gorgeous natural light. Lily and Nick tied the knot surrounded by loved ones, and then it was time to celebrate!! Some highlights include a Polaroid guest book, custom neon sign, and moody, romantic details. Of course, we ended the evening by popping a bottle of bubbly on the rooftop… because why not?!

Lily and Nick: Thank you again for having us in September!! Your wedding was so much fun to be part of, wishing you the happiest marriage and future together!
