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

I am so excited to blog this wedding by Red Ribbon Studios! Erin and her mom were so much fun to work with and they had so much style… it was easy and fun to create the look for the wedding date! Now you see chevron everywhere.. but when we were planning this wedding it was not very popular yet… so pairing chevron sequence table clothes with beautiful floral made me SO excited!!

I always thought of Erin’s style as very “Kate Spade” and we were able to merry patterns together to make a fun and a memorable statement! Congratulations to Erin and Casey.. I hope that you are having a wonderful first holiday season married!!!

Today is another beautiful wedding photographed by Laura Ivanova Photography! Sophie and Andy were married on a beautiful Friday in September on the terrace of the Calhoun Beach Club. It was a joy to help Sophie and Andy plan their wedding, not only because I really got to know them and loved working with them.. but also because Sophie was from England and I learned so much about English weddings, traditions, culture and ……..her mother had a fabulous accent!! We wanted to create a mix between a formal sit down wedding with an English Garden wedding!! We incorporated long tables at the venue with beautiful little vignettes of flowers in bright colors from Zinnia Designs ! Guests wore fascinators.. and I even was gifted one from the Mother of the Bride!!

Congratulations Sophie and Andy – I loved getting to know you and being a part of your big day!!

On this dreary winter day I thought that we could all use a little pink and a lot of pretty!! Lauren and Dillon came to me in early 2013 wanting to get married in Fall of 2013.. so quickly we started to plan their September 13th wedding at Aria at Jeune Lune and Our Lady of Victory Chapel!! Lauren has impeccable taste… she works at a fashion PR agency in Chicago and she is always very put together to say the least!!! Her vision for the wedding was clear and with the help of Apres and Martha’s Garden’s one of my favorite weddings came together!!

Thank you Lauren and Dillon for letting me be apart of your big day!!!!

Eliza and Eric were married on a beautiful fall day at the Landmark Center in St. Paul! The fall colors mixed with the beautiful backdrop of Rice Park and the Landmark center for some amazing photos and beautiful details!!

Eliza and Eric hired the best of the best for vendors including Just Bloomed, Apres, and one of my favorite Photographers… Andrew Vick! The details below speak for themselves and one of my favorite desserts of all time is still the “Fall Trio” by Cocoa and Fig! Guests were presented with an acrylic box of 3 desserts beautifully packaged with a note and a spoon…. they could either enjoy at the wedding or bring back to their hotel!!!

It’s been a little over a year since this amazing day…. Happy Anniversary to Eliza and Eric!!
