InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile stands at 505 North Michigan Avenue, a historic hotel just off the river with grand staircases, painted ceilings and a formal ballroom many downtown couples already have in mind. Satin Chair Event Design Studio, based in Naperville, has designed wedding decor here, dressing the main reception room.
In the photographs, guest tables sat beneath the ballroom balcony and chandeliers in ivory damask linens with black chiavari chairs, raised white floral centerpieces and crystal candelabras. A black-and-white checkered dance floor filled the center, and a tiered white cake stood at its edge. The scale of the room rewards decor that is confident and simple, so the architecture still leads and the tables photograph cleanly from the balcony and the floor.
We install florals, candelabras, chairs, linens and tabletop decor from our Naperville inventory and handle setup and teardown. Full design or a la carte, every event is quoted for the date and the room. Most clients book 6 to 18 months ahead; downtown Saturdays go first.
Visit our showroom at 429 East Ogden Avenue, Naperville, by appointment, Monday through Saturday, 9 to 5, and bring your venue, date and inspiration. If you are marrying at InterContinental Chicago, we will talk through ballroom layout, candelabra height and a plan that holds up under the chandeliers. Call (630) 504-2009 or book a free design consultation. We will sketch a plan that fits the room you reserved and the way you want it to feel. A travel fee applies when the venue is farther from our Naperville studio.
