Sara & Aaron’s Esplanade Lakes Wedding | May 21st, 2016

Sara Lyons & Aaron Acuna hosted their gorgeous Wedding Reception on Saturday, May 21st, 2016 at Esplanade Lakes in Downers Grove, IL!

Elegant Event Lighting loved working with this wonderful couple and the Lyons’ Family to bring their lighting and décor visions to life for their special day!

Sara & Aaron’s custom lighting and décor design began with white fabric draping in the pre-function area that adorned the place card table. The table was softly downlit to accentuate the place cards and other table décor.

The draping continued along the walls of the kitchen and service bay to create a backdrop for the band!

 The EEL Chicago Team bathed the entire length of drape as well as each of the room’s columns in soft amber uplighting. We love the soft glow that this element added to Sara & Aaron’s custom lighting and décor design.

To put the finishing touch on the design, Elegant Event Lighting adorned the outside balcony railing along the window wall with café globe lights. The warm amber glow coordinated perfectly with the interior uplighting!
