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

Stephanie and Brandon’s elegant spring wedding took place at Nicollet Island Pavillion!! It was so much fun working with Stephanie and her mom on the details of the wedding!! We combined fun gray overlays from Apres Party and Tent Rental with lush white floral from Sadies Floral. Stephanie had first thought she wanted all yellow flowers for the wedding, but when she began planning she decided she only wanted to have little “pops” of yellow and I think that it works perfectly with her decor choices! Fun stationery was designed by Paperista! My favorite element was the cocktail napkins with song lyrics inscribed on them!

Happy Holidays Stephanie and Brandon! We hope that you have a great First Christmas MARRIED!!!!

Details, Details, Details.. that is all I can say about this wedding!! Heather did an GREAT job on coming up with ideas that were meaningful to her and Joe and that went so well together!! You have probably seen this wedding around a few times on our blog/website because this was featured on Style Me Pretty earlier this year.. but I still needed to blog these images and share them with you!!!

Michelle and John’s wedding was not only a fun one for me to plan.. but a personal one too. Michelle is my sister in law (Andy’s Sister). John and her were together for many years before the engagement and we were all very happy to have him “officially” join the family. They were engaged last December while Michelle was doing an internship in Montana… so last Christmas break for her she came back and we looked at reception sites! It was so much fun working with someone so close to me. The day of course was wonderful, we had fantastic weather and everything turned out great. Thanks to my fantastic assistant Meghan I was really able to sit back and enjoy the time with family!
