Exmoor Country Club Wedding

GGarden Elegance: A Wedding at Exmoor Country Club on Chicago’s North Shore


This Exmoor Country Club wedding unfolded across three distinct spaces, each with its own design intention. The ceremony was held inside the club, cocktail hour moved to the patio, and dinner took place under a custom tent on the grounds. The aesthetic stayed consistent across all three: elegant, garden-influenced, and suited to the property.

The dinner tent was where the evening’s design came into full focus. Eighteen chandeliers draped in greenery anchored the space overhead, paired with florals and tablescapes built to match that scale. The effect was lush and considered, carrying the garden aesthetic from the patio into the tent without missing a beat.

Among the most personal touches was a custom painter hired to move through the spaces and document moments as they happened. That painting now lives in the couple’s home.
