One of the most appealing aspects of a private estate wedding is the ability to craft a custom, intimate experience without the restrictions of a traditional venue. This couple’s vision for their wedding was centered around a minimalist yet luxurious vibe, allowing the natural beauty of the estate to serve as the foundation for their decor.

The bride’s gown epitomized modern sophistication—a sleek, fitted white dress that showcased her appreciation of simplicity and elegance. Her gown featured clean lines, minimal embellishments, and a silhouette that was both timeless and stylish. She complimented her look with natural makeup and a low pulled back hair style , created by @salonduochicago for hair and @stellairbeauty for makeup, which added to the effortless, refined look she envisioned for her wedding day.
