When the groom’s sister approached us to plan her brother’s rehearsal dinner, she was looking for an evening that represented their family with nods to their mother’s equestrian background and the family’s deep love for Ralph Lauren. Together, we designed a Ralph Lauren-inspired rehearsal dinner at RPM Events Chicago that blended classic style with modern luxury, creating a space that felt personal and welcoming.
Leather charger plates added a rich, tactile element to each place setting, while custom-printed Blackwatch patterned linens brought depth and sophistication to the tables. Monobloom red rose arrangements added a pop of deep color to the masculine palette, and gold accents caught the warm glow of table lamps, creating an intimate and inviting atmosphere.
Every detail was chosen with care to honor the family’s story without feeling overdone. The combination of textures, colors, and lighting made the room feel approachable yet elevated. This Ralph Lauren-inspired rehearsal dinner at RPM Events Chicago was a meaningful start to the wedding weekend, perfectly reflecting the family’s heritage, style, and love for timeless design.
