Erin & Brock
MORGAN MANUFACTURING | CHICAGO, IL
Erin and Brock married on January 1, 2022, and the city gave them snow. Their invitations came in deep green envelopes with "Erin + Brock" set in clean, modern type. Erin got ready by tall black-framed windows in a satin A-line gown with a deep V back and a gold beaded belt, a gold leaf piece in her hair and a bouquet of white calla lilies in her hands. Brock wore a navy velvet tuxedo jacket and a black bow tie. They had their first look by the same windows.
Then they went out into the weather. With a fur stole over Erin's shoulders, they walked under a row of stone columns as the snow came down, and stopped on a red steel bridge over the Chicago River with the skyline half hidden in the storm.
The ceremony was at Morgan Manufacturing in the West Loop. White drapery framed the room, clear ghost chairs faced the front, and the aisle was edged with greenery and floating candles in glass under strings of bistro lights. At the front, a rusted steel panel strung with lights glowed against the old brick. Erin walked in between two family members, and after the vows she and Brock came back up the aisle cheering, her calla lilies in the air.
Dinner was at long wood tables with clear chairs, greenery runners and candles in gold chevron and clear glass holders. There was a charcuterie and cheese station on wooden crates, a table of family photos by the factory windows, and a signature cocktail called The Old Fashioned Brocktail. The couple came down the venue's steel staircase, lined with greenery and lit from beneath each step, and had their first dance in the middle of the room.
