More thank 200 brides-to-be were immersed in pure wedding luxury at Modern Luxury Weddings Chicago’s 15th annual Evening of Bridal Luxury. The November soiree began with a cocktail reception, featuring an expansive cheese and charcuterie spread and delectable light bites from the culinary team at The Langham, Chicago, and live saxophone entertainment from Aragon Artists. Brides—alongside their wedding planners and special guests—posed for sweet snaps and sipped Bellissima Proseccoand espresso martinis featuring Ketel One Vodka. Then, the doors to the Devonshire Ballroom swung open, and guests were ushered into an enchanted garden paradise, brought to life by Yanni Design Studio. Violinists serenaded the crowd as they found their seats for the big event: a runway show, presented by Ultimate Bride, of the fall 2023 collection by legendary bridal designer Ines Di Santo, who made an appearance on the runway herself. Select Model Management models stomped the mirrored runway after being made up by Bridal by Aga, Hair by Juan José and SalonDJ. A surprise final performance by Aragon Artists star Nashon and a round of macarons from Vanille Patisserie closed out the show, and each bride-to-be left with a swag bag of goodies to start her on the wedding planning journey.
