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

I had the pleasure of working with Celia and Bobby on their October wedding at one of my favorite venues Calhoun Beach Club with a wonderful list of vendors that made the day beautiful!! This was a special wedding for me because I was lucky enough to work with Celia’s family a few years earlier on her sister Louise’s wedding and they always make you feel like one of the family!!  Celia and Bobby’s wedding was filled with a lot of love and a really big bridal party!!! Guests enjoyed cocktail hour on the terrace of the Beach Club and soaked in the beautiful Minnesota fall day before being invited into the ballroom that was filled with timeless and elegant decor mixed in with a few fall and personal touches!!

Congratulations Bobby and Celia.. It was an honor to be apart of your big day!!

Merky and Matt had a beautiful fall wedding at Semple Mansion! From the beginning of the planning it was clear that what meant the most to Merky and Matt was their family and making sure the day celebrated all of their loved ones coming together. They chose Semple Mansion because they knew the convience of having both the ceremony and reception at one venue would be a great for their guests, and it also showcased a beautiful venue for most of their out of town guests.

Personalization of the event included Minnesota Pie Pop favors from Cocoa and Fig, Beautiful out of town bags filled with the bride and grooms favorite snacks. A custom menu complete with their favorite foods and even the brides mothers sloppy joe recipe for the late night snack!! Lots of Love Merky and Matt- You were so much fun to get to work with and I miss getting to see you!!

If the guests are the most important part of a wedding, then the invitations are the most important part of the wedding planning process. So why would you settle for a standardized, impersonal wedding invitation to summon your guests to your special day? Your wedding invitations should coalesce with your theme, entice guest to attend, and continue to be valued keepsakes long after the ceremony.

Custom wedding invitations are the perfect solution. You can customize your invitations to your wedding’s design, giving guests a tantalizing peek into the ceremony’s special style. Additionally, the level of creativity afforded by custom invitations means that the invites will be treasured long after the big day instead of immediately trashed.

Here are a few of the popular trends I see for wedding invitations:
1. Beach wedding invites
2. Classic Great Gatsby themed invites
3. Country Burlap and Lace
4. Using engagement photos
5. Modern programs
6. Sparkle Invites
7. Rustic envelopes

I create AFFORDABLE custom wedding stationery! You get to choose the font, color, design, wording and anything else you want to add! If you’ve seen something similar to what you are looking for, let me know and I can make the necessary changes to make it perfect for you!  My website is www.hadleycustomdesigns.com
