Annie and Michael- There is SO much to love about this wedding! AMAZING Floral, a Bride in one of the prettiest dresses ever, heartfelt vows and of course Lyla, their Frenchie!!! I met Annie’s mom Donna last summer when I was working a wedding on Bay Lake and she was doing the floral. I was in awe of how beautiful her floral was and I instantly fell in love with Donna!! When we were done setting up she told me that her daughter was getting married at the Semple Mansion next summer and then she asked if I was available to help.. I was so excited that the date was still open and that I could be of assistance on the big day!!!

When Donna and Annie hired me I knew that the decor was going to be amazing because Donna was doing the floral, but I really had no idea that it was going to look as great as it did! The bright colors really complimented the Semple Mansion and Annie’s eclectic California style was brought to life in the stationary, the “seed packet” escort cards and in the floral. Annie has an infectious smile and as you can tell from these fantastic photos from Laura Ivanova I don’t think Annie will ever stop smiling at Michael!!

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!!!!

Whitney and Tyler make me so thankful for referrals! Megan and Ben were one of my couples from 2009… WOW, that is a long time ago… and since then, they have referred SO many clients to me!! I was joking with them that I should be buying them something REALLY nice for a gift because not only are they a great referral point, but I get to see them at a lot of weddings per year.. and that makes me so excited!!

I knew from the moment that Whitney contacted me and told me that I had coordinated her friends wedding that she was so sweet and that I WANTED THIS WEDDING!! When I meet a couple that I have to work with I get really emotional and I have to find a way to make it work!! Luckily for me Whitney and Tyler did hire me for their planner and I got to spend the next 16 months working along side Whitney and her mother Ellen and Tyler and his mother Judy! It was very much a team wedding planning effort and I could not have been happier to be apart of the planning and the big wedding day!!!!

This “fusion” wedding incorporated Jewish traditions as well as elements of a traditional Lutheran Wedding! We transformed the entire Depot for their ceremony and reception using the Great Hall for the ceremony and transforming the “rink” area for the cocktail hour and dinner! I describe the color scheme as a joyful fall theme! We mixed classic colors in the linens and chairs with some pops of vibrant fall colors in the flowers! The room reveal is always my favorite part of a night and it was so much fun getting to sneak in Whitney, Tyler and the mother’s to show them how this canvas was transformed!

Thank you for trusting me with your big day- I will always treasure working with you!!
