Shoreacres is a private club in Lake Bluff, at 1601 Shoreacres Road, with lawn and brick terraces that look straight out to Lake Michigan. An outdoor ceremony here needs very little scenery — the water and the horizon already hold the view — so the chairs and the altar pieces have to feel quiet and sure. Satin Chair Event Design Studio has designed a lakeside ceremony at the club.
In the photographs, rows of white chairs faced the lake on the lawn and the brick walk. Two tall white floral urns stood at the front, framing the water, with a simple aisle between them. The look is spare on purpose: the florals mark the ceremony without blocking the lake, and the white seating reads clearly in afternoon light.
We travel throughout Chicagoland and beyond; a travel fee applies when the venue is farther from our Naperville studio, as the North Shore can be. We bring ceremony chairs and decor from our own inventory, install them and take them down. Full design or a la carte, each event is quoted for the date and the setting. We also design outdoor mandaps and backyard ceremonies when a celebration is held at home.
Most clients book 6 to 18 months ahead. Visit our showroom at 429 East Ogden Avenue by appointment, Monday through Saturday, 9 to 5, and bring your venue, date and inspiration. If you have a date at Shoreacres, we will talk through chair count, altar scale and a plan that keeps the lake in the pictures. Call (630) 504-2009 or book a free design consultation.
