Sustainable Sophistication: A Contemporary Styled Shoot at The Atria Chicago

May 6th, 2025

The Atria Chicago set the stage for a styled shoot that fused modern elegance with intentional, eco-conscious design. This intimate venue, known for its architecture and striking simplicity, provided the perfect canvas for a day that celebrated sustainability and stunning design.

A Vision Rooted in Sustainability

The shoot brought together a collective of eco-minded Chicago wedding professionals who share a passion for sustainability and design. Every detail reflected a thoughtful approach to event styling, prioritizing sustainable Chicago wedding rentals without compromising on aesthetic impact.

The foundation of the design drew inspiration from nature: locally sourced greenery, soft pastel florals, and organic textures formed the visual narrative. Suspended above the table was a breathtaking installation of moss and cascading foliage by Flowers By Stem, creating an immersive canopy that was both whimsical and rooted in eco-conscious values.

A Table That Speaks in Style

The tablescape, crafted using event rentals from Tablescapes Event Rentals, was a masterclass in balance. Minimalist, yet layered. Elegant, yet grounded. The centerpiece of the table design was undoubtedly the Black Matte Round Plate, offering a sleek contrast against crisp white linens from BBJ La Tavola. These plate rentals added depth and drama, anchoring each place setting with bold sophistication.

Complementing the plates were matte black flatware, forest-green glassware, and delicate knotted napkins. Every element was chosen to enhance the visual story while honoring sustainable rentals. The mix of textures—ceramic, glass, driftwood, and soft blooms made this table decor feel contemporary yet organic.
