When modern design meets warm, organic elements, wedding magic happens. This styled shoot, planned by Elegance & Ivory, takes inspiration from the raw beauty of industrial spaces while layering in soft, romantic details. With a neutral palette of black, white, cream, and pearl, plus natural textures like stone, linen, and wood, it's a vision of sophisticated simplicity.
Photographer Valerie Halling highlighted the interplay of textures, soft candlelight, and emotional moments, creating a gallery filled with both striking editorial shots and intimate, romantic captures. Meanwhile, Palette of Light's cinematic storytelling videography showcased the movement and ambiance of the day, as well as the incredible vendor team in action.
The Filament provided the perfect backdrop for this inspirational shoot. With botanical decor, historic Cream City brick, and custom filament bulbs draped from the ceiling's exposed rafters, the space is ideal for an intimate, stylish wedding.
The bride's first look featured a satin strapless gown from Bucci's Bridal with a sweetheart neckline and a dramatic high slit. A pearl-dotted tulle veil added a delicate, vintage-inspired touch. Subtle smoky makeup by Belviso Co. and loose waves styled by Bridal Beaut Team completed her effortlessly sophisticated look, with jewelry from Kessler's Diamonds. The groom wore a lightly textured tan suit from Men's Wearhouse, with a crisp white undershirt and floral boutonniere.
The invitation suite by Shelby Lynn Designs set the tone with crisp white paper, a refined mix of serif and script fonts, vintage stamps, and silver wax seals. From the vows booklets to the RSVP cards, every detail was designed with elegant simplicity. Additional signage pieces, like a welcome sign, bar sign, and table numbers on natural stone, perfectly complemented the venue's industrial aesthetic.
At the ceremony, black chairs framed a striking brick backdrop. Feisty Flowers created stunning floral installations on either side of the couple, with a statement piece suspended overhead. The combination of soft white florals and exposed industrial elements made for a breathtaking contrast.
We cannot get enough of this beautifully arranged charcuterie spread by Fork It Foods & Grazing, featuring an assortment of fruits, cheeses, meats, dips, and crackers! Displayed on wooden boards and unexpectedly in glassware, this appetizer station felt as curated as it was delicious.
A sweetheart table was seamlessly transitioned beneath the ceremony backdrop for the reception. Linens from Windy City Linens added warm textures to the space, while black and white candles, bud vases, and stone table numbers maintained the modern aesthetic. The balance of industrial elements and soft details made for an effortlessly chic tablescape.
The bride's second look was a fun departure from her formal gown--a sleek satin slip dress by Stella York, paired with pearl-encrusted boots and sheer tulle gloves. Her hairstyle was softened into looser waves, adding a playful, flirty touch. The groom swapped his tan suit for a classic black suit with an open-collared white undershirt shirt.
Dessert was as much a visual statement as it was a sweet treat. Signature Sweets created a three-tiered white cake with sculptural abstract detailing, adding a contemporary flair. A champagne tower added a festive touch, setting the stage for a night of celebration.
As the evening unfolded, the venue's concrete floors easily accommodated dancing, with music by Milwaukee Airwaves filling the space.
