Instagram Roundup

Monday, May 20, 2013

We have such a fun time planning and coordinating on the day of the weddings that sometimes my blogging and sharing images gets a little delayed! Luckily if you follow us on Facebook and Instagram I try and post a few sneak peak pictures and photos of the progress throughout the day…Welcome to the Instagram Roundup… This is my attempt to share with you my photos from the day (my very amateur.. iPhone photos of the day.. ) until I blog the wedding when I get the photos from the photographer!!

We had a great weekend with the Nicollet Island Pavillion Wedding of Amy and Jake and the wedding of Gretchen and Chris at Windows on Minnesota! Such a great way to kick off the year!!!

Enjoy!!

Erin and Mike – Calhoun Beach Club Wedding

Monday, April 8, 2013

Is it ever going to get nice here in Minnesota? I sure hope so!!!! But until then, I will continue to blog about weddings that remind me of warmth and better Minnesota weather!!! Here is a beautiful wedding photographed by LaVie Photography from last fall!!
It was so much fun to get to work with Erin, Mike and their families! They were really sweet and Erin really knew what she wanted when it came to incorporating details about her and Mike’s relationship. I don’t think that it is more apparent then in the cake… designed by the always amazing Robin at Gatueax.. the cake was a reflection of Erin and Mike’s study abroad in Australia. It was full of details about their trip and it was the focal point of the cocktail hour!!!

Amanda and Josh- Jackpot Junction Casino Wedding

Tuesday, April 2, 2013

What a fun post to write for me!!! I met Amanda and Josh MANY years ago when I planned Josh’s Sister, Shelby’s wedding. It was apparent even back then that Amanda and Josh were something really special, so I was ecstatic when Shelby and her mom Deb called me and asked if I could help plan Amanda and Josh’s big day!!!!
They were engaged over Halloween and we planned a Valentine’s day weekend wedding and no detail was overlooked!!!!

Thank you to the team of vendors that pulled off this touching and beautiful wedding in such a short period of time!! And an EXTRA special Thank you to Despres Photography for not only capturing the day so wonderfully but for also being a great new resource for brides in the central Minnesota Area (seriously.. if you are getting married, call them!!!)

Melissa and Brian – Town and Country Club Wedding

Thursday, March 7, 2013

Melissa and Brian were another one of my “Dream Couples” (Can you tell that I have a lot of couples that I fall in love with… that is why I have the best job in the world!!) They knew exactly what they wanted and they were so trusting to me from the beginning and I think that it created a very fun and personalized wedding!!! One of my favorite trends of the year have been incorporating patterns as a “theme” for a wedding.. and I think this is a great example of how a subtle pattern can really tie together the whole look of the wedding without have TOO Much Theme!!
