Winter Chicago Wedding from David Wittig Photography
There is totally a reason the word “Chic” is in the word “Chicago” and I’m pretty sure this winter wedding just proved why. David Wittig Photography send this stunner our way, so we definitely owe a big thank you to him. The couples wedding style is killer – set in the middle of a bunch of amazing antiques at Chicago’s famous Salvage One, they were somehow able to make their wedding feel contemporary amongst all those romantic, vintage details. That, I must say, is serious wedded talent. You won’t want to miss the gallery for more of this affair to remember!
It was the first BIG snow of December 2007 and we both found ourselves in a cozy neighborhood bar. There is something magical about the first snow of the year and that night it was a magical, indeed! December became a special month for us, as two years later Oren proposed on a Thursday morning, in December and we decided to marry the following December on the “Eve of the Eve”.
We discovered Salvage One, a vintage resale furniture shop, for its charm and uniqueness. We decided to have both the ceremony and reception at Salvage One, which allowed for us to have continuity throughout the evening. We wanted it to feel intimate so we utilized the venue’s unique collection of chandeliers and simple candles to create warmth. The chandelier became a theme we used with our stationary and programs. We used minimal décor. White candles, simple white floral and amber up-lighting to create a glow.

I love the shrug that is worn over her dress! Where did you find?!

Hi Brooke! It looks like the shrug is a simple white pashmina, but I'm checking with the bride to see where she purchased it for you - I'll let you know what I hear.

I found the ivory wrap/pashmina at Nordstrom (their own label). It's super soft cashmere and extra big, so you canwear it several ways. I also gave each of my bridesmaids the same wrap in a great neutral walnut/taupe color as part of their gift. You should be able to find it at Nordstrom. They have them in the accessories dept each fall and they come in several different colors. Happy planning!

Sarah,
This wedding is simply stunning! My fiance and I will be hosting our wedding at Salvage One this coming January, so I've been scoping out all things winter wedding and all things Salvage One! I'm so impressed :) I noticed you said you used amber uplighting to create that gorgeous glow. Would you mind telling me who you worked with to achieve that? -
February 22, 2012 at 5:31 pm
Hi Kate. I'm checking with the bride on the lighting director's contact info. I'll let you know what I hear!

@Kate, here is what Sarah had to say about the lighting: "Event Creative did the lighting for our reception. Here's a link to their website: www.eventcreative.com"
Hope this helps!
