Fleuressence at Chicago Illuminating Company
Gucci Flora — one of the most beloved collections of wedding fragrances — was created to be a celebration of indelible joy for free- spirited muses, and this editorial is its living counterpart. At Chicago Illuminating Company, the venue’s industrial bones softened against hand-painted linens and immersive florals, while unexpected pops of chartreuse and sartorial bridal looks curated by Something White Styling injected unmistakable “Chicago cool.” Thoughtfully designed yet effortlessly chic, every detail flirted with duality — familiar at its foundation, daringly fashion-forward at its edges.
From the Photographer & Planner …
Instead of sticking to neutrals, we embraced rich color balanced with a strong focus on lush, vibrant green tones. The design leaned into natural vibrancy with intentional pops of color, layered textures, and fresh movement that allowed the florals and décor to truly make a statement.
