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

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.

2021… Was a whirlwind to say the least, but here we are at the end of the year feeling thankful for all our amazing couples that weathered the last two years with us!! A year ago there was so much uncertainty about weddings and events and while covid does not look like it is going away anytime soon, I can tell you that love won in 2021! We were able to celebrate and finally couples were able to walk down the aisle! I wanted to close out this whirlwind of a year with one of our favorite families and weddings of 2021!!

Madeleine and Jared were married in September at The Basilica of St. Mary with their reception at the White Bear Yacht Club (one of our favorite venues!!) I was lucky enough to have planned both of Madeleine’s sisters weddings so when I got a text from her Dad telling me that Madeleine and Jared were engaged I was so excited to get started!!!!!! They knew they wanted to get married in 2021 and we would need to get planning right away to find the perfect venue.

They wanted something near the water and loved the idea of a tent wedding, I instantly thought that the White Bear Yacht Club would be the perfect fit for them!! Not only is the Yacht Club a beautiful location, but it was also great for the elegant and timeless vision Madeleine had for her wedding decor. Monogramed Bars, Hydrangeas, Embroidered Napkins, Hanging Floral… Not a detail was missed! And the weather… well it could not have been better! We got the best weather of September and it made for a magical day!

Amanda and Alex’s wedding is finally up here on the blog and I am excited to share this one with you!!!!!! In what feels like a LIFETIME ago Amanda and Alex’s friends and family gathered at the Machine Shop to celebrate their marriage! Planning this wedding with Amanda and Alex was a lot of fun because Amanda knew exactly what she wanted. White Florals, lots of greenery and wood farm tables. Her vision was clear throughout the whole planning and it came together beautifully!!

It’s hard to believe that this winter wedding was already just about a year ago… and It was the last wedding that we did before COVID took over!! But enough about that, lets talk all about Marlee and Todd’s beautiful wedding! Minnesota in February can be unpredictable, but luckily for us the weather was cooperating very well and created the perfect backdrop for this Leap Day Winter Wedding! With most of their guests flying in from the East Coast Marlee and Todd wanted to make everything easy for their guests and wanted to have a really fun party.

We started planning this wedding just 7 months before the big day and the top priorities were booking our amazing Photographer, Laura Rae Photography and booking a band that would keep everyone on the dance floor all night.. and that was Elan Artists!! The rest of the plans came together through numerous emails and a few trips back to Minnesota for planning meetings! The decor was modern mixed with a classic and traditional element. Round and Long guest tables created a unique atmosphere and also created a large dance floor for our HORA!! The room looked warm and inviting and all of the guests did dance all night long!
