Wedding
Written By Louie Abellera

There's a version of a wedding that has been planned down to the last detail and still somehow feels completely spontaneous. Krista and Alex's day at The Hoxton Chicago was that version.

They chose one of the best boutique hotels in the city, its rooftop terrace for the ceremony, its warm, mid-century dining room for the reception, and they filled it with people who clearly love them very much. The handmade ceramic favors, the wildflower bouquet, the copper chuppah with its linen canopy—every choice was considered without ever feeling labored over. This was a wedding that knew what it wanted to be.

Krista and Alex stand together on the rooftop garden path at The Hoxton Chicago — her silk slip gown catching the light, his navy plaid double-breasted suit sharp against the warm brick.
A bridesmaid in a sleek black dress spins the bride in front of a floor-to-ceiling window at The Hoxton Chicago — bouquet in hand, joy in her face. The kind of pre-ceremony moment that sets the whole tone for the day.
The Hoxton Chicago dining room alive with the energy of a wedding reception — warm light, servers in motion, guests caught mid-conversation. It feels like a dinner party at the best restaurant in the city, because it is.
