Dana & Steve: A formal wedding in Chicago - NBC Right Now/KNDO/KNDU Tri-Cities, Yakima, WA |

in partnership with

THE BRIDE: Dana, 30, a fine jewelry designer and a former strategy consultant
THE GROOM: Steve, 30, a managing principal at Pangea Equity Partners
THE DATE: September 5

To play up their venue's Gothic-style architecture and classic look, Dana and Steve went with a neutral color palette of whites, champagnes and blushes. A few modern details also provided a nice contrast.

The Escort Cards

The cards were set up on a finished wood table with white flowers and candles lining the back.

The Wedding Ceremony

Lucite columns and a long ivory runner were a cool contrast to the room's Gothic-style windows.

The Reception

Crisp, ivory linens and a mix of high and low flowers decorated the tables, while uplighting emphasized the room's Gothic decor.

The Bridesmaid Bouquets

For a modern look, the all-white bouquets were wrapped in black ribbon.
