Akello and Emeka’s wedding was a day of pure joy, every guest had an absolute ball. The day’s gorgeous details included accents of warm candlelight amongst heavy greenery and white floral centerpieces, making for a timelessly chic affair.

The couple got ready at the wen Hotel on Michigan Avenue, after which the ceremony was held at The Ivy Room. The Ivy Room is found in the very heart of downtown Chicago and on one of the city’s busiest streets, but you wouldn’t know it from the venue’s peaceful garden aesthetic. Closed off from the surrounding city, the couple said their vows and celebrated with friends and family all night long. If they didn’t already have a perfect wedding, they jetted off to the French Riviera for their honeymoon!
