Organic romance in
a tented garden escape

pingree grove, IL

Soft, airy, and romantic defined the tone of Erin and Dan’s wedding day, a celebration rooted in heartfelt intention. Their aesthetic felt deeply personal without ever being performative and formal, but in a way that felt warm, inviting, and entirely their own.
Set beneath a flowing, draped tent at Goebbert’s, the atmosphere was as warm and welcoming as the couple themselves. From the very beginning, Erin and Dan were clear: they wanted the day to feel fun, relaxed, and centered on togetherness. That sentiment wove through every moment from the quiet, compassionate way they moved through the day together to the joy radiating from their friends and family as they celebrated.
Before heading to the venue, Erin and Dan made a meaningful stop at home to take photos with their beloved pup, Rainey. It was a pause that felt emblematic of them: tender, real, and full of love.
The design struck a balance between playful and polished. A custom green checkerboard dance floor served as a striking focal point, complemented by thoughtfully crafted installations, including the seating chart, bar display, and cake backdrop, that added texture and personality. Inspired by their love of natural beauty, live trees and potted shrubs framed the space, bringing an organic softness that made the tent feel grounded and alive.


Guests were welcomed into cocktail hour with a chilled limoncello sipper, a nod to Erin and Dan’s shared travels. Later, signature drinks made with Poppi, the bride’s favorite soft drink, brought smiles and surprise. It was the kind of detail that made people pause and say, “Wait, no way!” A sweet, joy-filled touch that instantly felt like them.
One of the most meaningful design moments could be found in the lounge, where photos and accessories from their mothers’ weddings were carefully displayed beneath a glass-topped table, an intimate tribute to the women who shaped them. It was a quiet detail, but one that carried so much weight and history.
As the evening unfolded, clouds rolled in and rain began to pour – but not for a single second did the celebration slow. Guests danced through it all, fully immersed in the moment. If rain on your wedding day is good luck, Erin and Dan were showered with it, and the energy inside the tent only grew warmer, wilder, and more unforgettable with every drop.
It was the kind of wedding where the beauty was in the details, but the magic was in the feeling: a celebration no one wanted to end, and one that could only belong to Erin and Dan.
