lasting impressions weddings is an award-winning minnesota wedding planning and design company

Lexie and JT were married at the historic Mill City Museum on a beautiful August Summer Day!

The couple chose the industrial Mill City Museum for their wedding because they loved the location and the history of the venue. They had guests flying in from all over the country to attend their wedding and they wanted to make the whole day easy for their wedding guests.

Blush floral and navy sequence linens helped soften the look of the very industrial wedding venue. The couples love for animals was apparent throughout the whole planning process so it was only right to include them in the design with custom dog cocktail napkins and a guest book sign!

The Sunsets at Mill City are some of the best in Minnesota and I am glad that Lucas was able to capture so many beautiful photos at the end of the day!

When Bella’s Mom called me to inquire for some assistance with her daughters wedding we were already pretty booked up for the year and I had just told myself that we were going to cut down on the number of weddings we took and take some time to slow down a bit; But then I started to talk to Cathy and I feel in love with her and I was instantly excited to help with this wedding!

Not only did they have the one and only Liz Banfield photographing the wedding at one of my favorite Lake Minnetonka Venues, Lafayette Club…. but they had already contracted numerous wonderful vendors (I mean… a 90’s cover band.. who could say no to that!!!).

We jumped in helping them plan the rest of the decor and details for the big day and helped pull everything together to create a seamless and beautiful wedding!! Bella and Cathy worked so well together and had the same vision for the day… A beautiful classic wedding filled with fun personalized details!

The weather on the wedding day was perfect and the Lafayette Club looked stunning filled with Linen Effects linens and Zinnia’s Floral! Congratulations Bella and Brett!! It was so much fun getting to know you and your wonderful family!

Aria Minneapolis Wedding

Sue and Tommy.. What a fun couple!! Looking back on these photos makes me yearn for sunshine and a good, fun party like Sue and Tommy had last August at Aria!

This was the first wedding in a long time for both Sue and Tommy’s families and they really wanted to throw one elegant, fun and unique wedding for all of their guests… and they succeeded! The ceremony took place at the Basilica of St. Mary in Minneapolis; Adorable flower girls processed down the aisle before Sue (who looked STUNNING in her L’atelier Bridal Gown) met Tommy at the end of the aisle. The traditional and formal wedding ceremony ended with a large group photos on the steps of the Basilica; A tradition at the church. Following the ceremony guests were greeted at Aria with signature cocktails, delicious appetizers and a fun Friday night evening!

The reception decor was a true reflection of Sue and Tommy. We wanted to combine a lot of classic and timeless elements with a clean and modern wedding design. With a floorplan set for 350 guests and a big band, we moved around tables numerous times to get the configuration “just right”. I am a big fan of chandeliers and I believe we can never have too many… and Sue agreed with me! This was the most chandeliers I had hung at Aria and It created a beautiful glow throughout the evening. Following an AMAZING dance party the guests said goodbye to the newlywed’s with a sparkler send off!!

Thank you to all of the vendors that assisted with this wonderful wedding!
