After coordinating weddings for over 17 years I have had the privilege of working with a lot of the same families when they have multiple sons/daughter’s get married.. and its one of my favorite parts about my job. I love getting to know a family and the Charpentier Family is no different! Honestly, Ive been trying to be part of the family since I met them years ago while planning Emily and Andrew’s wedding 🙂

This time it was Grace and Jake’s turn and they had a nice long engagement which made securing the vendors they wanted easy and the planning the details alot of fun. They booked Willow Brooke Farm when it was just getting finished with construction and they knew it was the perfect venue the minute they saw it. The clean white color palette of the venue really made it fun to add some fun details like a black and white dance floor from Apres, an elevated floral runner on the head table and cold sparks for the dance.

Get ready to see this dreamy backyard tent wedding …

 

Stephanie and Kevin jumped into wedding planning with the help of Katherine, Stephanie’s lovely mom right after they were engaged. They originally had intentions of getting married at a local venue, but after our initial meeting, they were curious if their backyard would work to hold the black-tie affair. After several meetings with Apres, we knew that this was an option and the rest of the details started to be planned!!! Stephanie truly had a vision for what she wanted this tent to look like and how she wanted the day to feel.

The ceremony was in their front yard where guests were greeted with welcome drinks before taking a seat in the tree-lined ceremony backdrop. The Birchwood string quartet serenaded guests with modern music on strings as we prepared to start the ceremony.

After Stephanie and Kevin were pronounced Mr. & Mrs, the guests were invited into the back yard where cocktail hour was held on the patio and around the pool. Lounge furniture provided conversation areas throughout the backyard. Eventually, when it was time to be seated guests found their seating assignment on the placecard board affixed to boxwood backdrops.

Despite being an outdoor wedding, the couple wanted the wedding to still feel formal and elegant. And as guests entered the tent the band welcomed guests while everyone found their way to their seats. The large tent was divided in half by a circular bar that separated the dining area from the dance area. The ceiling was filled with greenery and Sparkling chandeliers that set the romantic tone. A color palette of ivory, gold, and green worked well against the backdrop of the beautifully landscaped yard!!

The night continued with dinner, dancing and personalized late-night snacks that displayed the customized monogram that was featured throughout the wedding! Congrats to Mr. & Mrs. Murphy!!

Planning a wedding with an organized bride, an adorable groom and a mother of the bride who is also an interior designer was an absolute dream and I think it can be seen in these beautiful wedding pictures!! 

Greta and Drew were married on an idyllic September Day at Wayzata Community Church and The Minikahda Club. Greta and Drew’s classic style was elevated when we incorporated blue and white chinoiserie into their centerpiece and wedding design. Combining many of the families personal vases bright floral and chinoiserie charger plates completed the look.
