Tera and Shawn's Intimate Wedding at The Loft

Updated: May 11, 2021

June was a busy month for us, and along with several baby and bridal showers, we had the honor of hosting Tera and Shawn's intimate wedding at The Loft of Elements Preserved, our intimate Venue in Elgin, IL. Small weddings are our favorites; when we get to help create a beautiful event for our couples, and their very closest family and friends, it's even more special. The light and airy loft was filled with accents in gold and brass, while the color scheme remained white and off-white.

Tera and Shawn visited The Loft a few months before their tentative date, and after our tour and brief consult, I heard back from Tera quickly that they were in love with the venue! After consulting with a few photographers and determining available dates, they settled on their June date, and within three months, it was wedding day!


Tera wanted her floral decor to be mainly "greens", and after deciding upon renting our vintage mantel as their ceremony backdrop, I suggested a climbing wall of greens, which Tera loved. It was simple and elegant, and perfect for the look she wanted.


Intimate moments while saying their vows in front of their loved ones are the most special moments.

Beautiful, white, bridal bouquet with touches of green were the bride's simple requests

Our vintage ivory settee and matching chair provided the perfect place for wedding photos for the bride and groom and their families.

Lounge seating provided many photo opportunities during the evening.

Tera chose to add our gold geometric candle holders and brass taper candle holders to each of our farm tables. The beautiful wedding florals were created by Jordan, owner at *JCEden.
