Panache Wedding Lounge Areas


Wedding lounge areas have really taken on a life of there own.  Even though the trend has been around for a few years, they have become sooo much more creative, elaborate and dramatic.  They create a really inviting area for guests to relax between eating and dancing.    Whether you have flowing fabrics, stylish furniture, glowing uplighting or even haystacks; a creative designer can really create the perfect lounge area anywhere.

Chicago Style Wedding: Beautiful, Classy and Sophisticated

I love beautiful weddings!  I came across this wedding while browsing the internet.  I am showcasing this wedding for two important reasons, attention to detail and fantastic photography.  Apparently this bride knew exactly what she wanted.  She and her wedding planner, Anika of Anika Kai Events, really left no details to spare.  The ceremony was held at a majestic cathedral in Chicago, University of Chicago Rockefellar Memorial Chapel, where she kept the ceremony clean and classic.  The reception was held at Hotel Sax Chicago, a suave and luxe hotel where she showcased so many details, from dramatic draping, elegant centerpieces, luxurious linens, a fabulous cake and a showstopping glossy black dance floor.  Thanks to an awesome photography team, Miller + Miller Photography, they captured every detail of the day.  I am a huge fan of talented and creative photography and encourage every bride to invest in a great photojournalistic photographer in your area (or outside); especially if you have lots of details.  You will be happy you did once you see photos like the ones below.  Beautiful wedding and congratulations to the new and sexy young couple!!!!!
