The Armour House Wedding
Kelsey + Andrew
The Armour House at Lake Forest Academy Wedding Lake Forest, Illinois
Timeless architecture, romantic gardens, and a love story that unfolded with effortless grace — this celebration at The Armour House at Lake Forest Academy was the perfect blend of elegance and heart.
Surrounded by the estate’s manicured lawns and historic fountains, the couple exchanged vows in the formal gardens as a string quartet played softly in the background. Guests were welcomed with champagne and a gentle summer breeze drifting through the trees — a serene beginning to a truly magical day.
As golden hour settled over this Armour House wedding, the celebration moved into the Great Hall, where soaring ceilings, marble fireplaces, and candlelit tables cast a warm, inviting glow. Every detail — from the lush floral arrangements to the classic stationery suite and the soft palette of ivory, sage, and gold — was thoughtfully chosen to complement the mansion’s timeless beauty.
Dinner and heartfelt toasts filled the evening with laughter, leading into a lively dance floor brought to life by Green Light Band. Every moment felt cinematic — a seamless blend of sophistication, joy, and genuine connection that perfectly reflected the couple’s story.
The Armour House holds such a special charm — a venue where every corner feels as if it were designed to host a love story.
