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

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 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!!
