Ela and Lars were married earlier this summer at Chicago’s MCA. Their wedding oozed of romance and class not to mention it was visually stunning! A Stem Above is responsible for all the beautiful floral design including the bouquets, corsages and table-scapes at the MCA reception. We were so thrilled to be part of their awesome day.
We begin with Ela and Lars getting ready at Raffaello Hotel in separate rooms. Once everyone was dressed and ready they met on the rooftop deck for a dramatic “first look.”
Enjoy!
