Red-y or not, Club X, here we come ❤️🔥✨
Teamed up with the ridiculously talented Samantha Li Bridal | Destination Weddings & Bridal Styling on an editorial that leaned into just how striking, intentional, and elevated an intimate wedding day can feel. Indeed it was. Underground speakeasy energy, moody lighting, and a retro red palette that matched everyone’s energy.
Every detail was intentional: the styling, the signature cocktails, the guest looks (and guys... EVERYONE showed up and showed OUT). It all came together to prove “intimate” doesn’t have to mean small in feeling; it can feel immersive, eclectic, and fashion-forward as hell.
Also, BIG announcement: this was featured in the newest release of Chicago Style Weddings, speaking on the importance of planners and making wedding days feel special. We’re SO lucky to be part of this, and it couldn’t have been more fitting!
This one’s edgy meets luxury in the best way, and Club X might’ve been the perfect venue.
