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

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!

I am not sure if it is the mutual love of the lake or the fact that we are both blonde and like to talk (a lot) But from the minute I met Clare and her parents I instantly fell in love with them and I knew that the next few months planning their wedding would be a lot of fun!! Clare and Trent had been in numerous weddings while their wedding and I think that gave them a lot of ideas and direction on what vendors they liked and what decor they wanted to incorporate.

I have a lot of “favorite” parts of this wedding, but I am especially fond of the beautiful stationery products. Because the wedding venues were surrounded by Lake Minnetonka we chose to do an illustration of the lake, the Lafayette Club and the church. The illustration that was done by Cait Courneya and Paper Rock Scissors and it set the perfect tone for this wedding!

Love you lots Clare and Trent!

I had met Kelsey a few years ago when she was working at Lafayette Club as a server. When she emailed me to tell me that she wanted to hire us for her big day… She told me that she remembered the wedding we had coordinated at the club and how everything went perfectly and she knew that she wanted us their on the big day… What a HUGE compliment!!!! Kelsey’s attention to detail while planning the wedding was shown through all of her beautiful decor and thoughtful little details. Arts and Flowers did a FANTASTIC job with all of the blush and white florals!!

Kelsey and Tyler It was such a joy to get to work with you and your families on such a beautiful and fun day!!!!

Jessica and Trey were married on a beautiful day on Lake Minnetonka at the Lafayette Club. The club had special meaning to Jessica and Trey beause she was a member there and her parents live on the lake very close to the club. The weather on this May day could not have been a better way to kick of Memorial Day weekend and their wedding! Blue skies and sunshine filled the tent as Jessica and Trey had their very personal ceremony in front of their friends and family!

Personal elements were everywhere in this wedding.. We incorporated the bride and groom’s love of hunting into the favors with duck calls.. Photos of the couple adorned the unique placecard table and the night was full of heartfelt speeches! But the everlasting memory I will have about Jessica and Trey was there love for each other. We planned the whole wedding in about 9 months and throughout the planning process Jessica and Trey did not let the little things get to them… they just knew they wanted to be married and start their life together… and when you have a outlook like that…the wedding planning process is a lot of fun!!
