Modern Chicago Skyline Wedding at The Adler Planetarium

The city of Chicago is a part of this couple's history—so it's only fitting that their vows took place on Chicago's gorgeous lakefront at the Adler Planetarium.

Rachel looks absolutely stunning in her lace wedding dress, orchid hair pin, and matching white-on-white bouquet.

Wedding photos don't get much cooler than this!

The bride and groom share a moment on "Cloud 9."

The couple roamed the city pre-festivities and found this gorgeous space for a frame-worthy photo.

A rustic escort card display with thick birch branches as the backdrop.

The floor to ceiling windows in Café Galileo make this indoor space an ideal location to mitigate any weather concerns. Stunning views of the Windy City itself beckon in the background.

The chuppah is adorned with a mixture of sunflowers and orchids, creating a romantic setting for the traditional Jewish ceremony.

An eclectic wedding tablescape.

The natural beauty of succulents make the reception tablescapes both modern and unique.

Café Galileo turns from daytime ceremony to nighttime gala with intimate flair as The Adler sets the stage for dinner and dancing.

The bride and groom honor their cat with a cupcake toast.

Adler's Sundial Plaza captures unparalleled views of the Chicago Skyline and can be used as an outdoor cocktail or ceremony spot.

We love this photo that reflects the hanging globe lanterns from indoors against the famous Chicago cityscape.
