Taylor Swift (Debut)
Venue: Providence Vineyards
Location: Illinois
The debut album takes us back to Taylor’s country roots—innocent, rustic, and heartfelt. The perfect wedding venue for this era is Providence Vineyards, an all-white barn venue that provides a blank canvas for creativity. Picture rustic barn tables, cross-back chairs, and a soft color palette of baby blue and greenery to bring that wholesome, down-to-earth feel to life. This wedding design would embrace simplicity while allowing the couple’s love to take center stage.

Its Gold Coast Ballroom radiates sophistication, with golden accents that match the album's soft yet bold spirit. The color palette? All-gold paired with ivory florals and linens. The Tinsel Antique Napkin adds just the right touch of luxury to this timeless design.

For a color palette, rich red hues combined with lush florals create a warm, inviting atmosphere that mirrors the emotional intensity of the album.
1989
Venue: Ambassador Chicago (Rooftop)
Location: Chicago, IL
"Welcome to New York" might be the anthem of 1989, but Chicago’s Ambassador rooftop gives you that same urban energy. Host a small, intimate group while enjoying breathtaking views of the city. The design is sleek and modern, featuring a monochromatic palette with hints of powder blue for a romantic touch. Picture all-white florals with minimalist details for a chic, contemporary feel.
Reputation
Venue: The Geraghty
Location: Chicago, IL
Reputation is bold, daring, and dramatic—just like The Geraghty. This venue offers an incredible blank canvas that can be transformed into anything you desire, much like the album’s rebellious energy. Stick to a monochrome palette of white, gray, and black with textured linens and sleek details. The Silver Phoenix Chair adds a futuristic touch, while lush all-white florals create an air of mystery and allure.

Lover
Venue: Room 1520
Location: Chicago, IL
Pastels, happiness, and love are what the Lover era is all about. Room 1520, with its all-white interior, serves as a perfect blank slate to fill with a vibrant palette of pinks, lavenders, and soft blues. The venue’s minimalistic aesthetic allows you to truly play with color and light, making it ideal for smaller, more intimate ceremonies. The joyful energy of Lover can be expressed through soft florals, pastel linens, and an overall playful vibe.
Folklore
Location: Oak Brook, IL
Folklore invites you into a world of quiet introspection and nostalgia, and The Hyatt Lodge’s Grand Oaks Pavilion is the perfect setting. Surrounded by trees and offering breathtaking views through floor-to-ceiling windows, this venue embodies the woodsy, earthy vibes of Folklore. Stick to a muted green and ivory color palette to create a serene, natural atmosphere. Embrace the organic, rustic feel with simple linens and wildflower arrangements.
