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

Marlee and Ezra’s Machine Shop Wedding was the perfect ending to the summer wedding season!! I started helping Marlee and Ezra plan 15 months before the wedding day. With Marlee and Ezra living in New York, the mother of the bride Heather took the reigns locally to handpick vendors and to make the vision for the day come to life.

Vendors such as Machine Shop, Arts and Flowers, Bean and Ro, and Festivities helped to create the elegant decor that Heather and Marlee were looking for! Arts and Flowers did an amazing job on the wedding floral, transforming our vague ideas into something truly unique and different!  Bean and Ro worked with Heather and Marlee to not only design the wedding invitations, but also all of the stationery items for the welcome dinner, brunch, welcome bags and day of the wedding!

Like most Jewish weddings, finding the perfect band is an important component to the wedding day! Marlee and Ezra choose Bluewater Kings and the dance floor was packed all night long!! The only breaks that guests took from the dance floor were to enjoy some unique late-night snacks provided by Damico Catering. Because we were celebrating Marlee and Ezra’s wedding during the Minnesota State Fair… we themed the late-night snacks all around our favorite “fair foods”.

Thank you again Marlee and Ezra for letting me be apart of your big day!!!

This wedding… Wow!!! Thats all I can say!!! I was so honored when Bailey and Matt hired us to help plan their June wedding. Not only did I feel an immmediate connection with Bailey , but I also loved how she trusted the vendors that she hired!!

At the first meeting, Bailey and Matt had a handful of inspiration photos of what they were looking for in terms of decor. Those inspiration photos then turned into sketches and ideas put on paper by Sadies Floral and PHOS Events.

Luckily for all of us, the sketch turned into a beautiful reality and on a Sunday afternoon in June Aria was transformed into a space filled with hanging chandeliers, hanging flowers, a hanging chuppa and lots and lots of beautiful white flowers and candles!!

There are few events that truly take my breath away after planning 800 weddings.. and this was one that did, not only because it was beautiful, but also because Bailey and Matt trusted the vision and never quesitoned all of the crazy sketches and mockups we made 🙂

Tropical Wedding Decor

It is no secret that I love everything Tropical. My house is filled with Palm trees, I dream about beaches and the new trend of incorporating tropical designs into your wardrobe is something I can really get excited about!! So when Lindsay told me that she wanted to incorporate a tropical feel into her wedding… I knew I found the perfect design match!!! Lindsay and Javier live in New York, so most of our planning was done via email and on a few well planned trips back to Minnesota. We wanted to create a wedding design that was fun, unique and modern enough to match the McNamara Alumni Center.

When we started to plan this wedding, Tropical designs were just starting to show up as a trend. I was so excited when Lindsay trusted the vision and could envision how lovely this could all be together. Sadies Floral transformed the venue into a Tropical paradise. The Theme was complete with the Paper Rock Scissors stationery suite, the boxwood escort card holder and the beautiful Damico Catering Cake Design.
