The It Girl
To describe the Chicago bride is to rattle off an adjective soup in vain. Because what makes her her cannot be pinned into explanation, she just has it. She doesn’t need to define herself with fashion trends or aesthetic boxes, she makes a name for herself by just being present.
So when the It Girl falls in love and decides to wed, the Chicago streets welcome her in. When it comes to wedding planning, there’s no reason to look beyond Chicago’s graffitied alleys and remnants of World’s Fair charm for inspiration. The It Girl bride is playful, vibrant and a purveyor of fine things — and her wedding matches. “The 2023 bride is the epitome of the modern woman,” mused stylist Catherine Vreeland of Mira Couture. “She is a cool girl, intelligent, confident, electric and, of course, stylish.”
The Windy City’s home run roster of vendors and artistry energizes. Skipping through West Town in eclectic couture pieces, come step into the world of our It Girl bride.
