August 2015 Weddings in Review | EEL Chicago

August flew by here at Elegant Event Lighting Chicago, so we wanted to highlight some of the beautiful custom lighting and décor designs we had the opportunity to create for our couples.


LaShawn Feazell & Nestor Lao said their “I Do’s” on Saturday, August 1st, 2015 at Venuti’s in Addison, IL! Elegant Event Lighting designed an elegant white fabric backdrop and white fabric arch for the couple’s ceremony. The backdrop and arch were beautifully illuminated in soft white lighting.
