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

As wedding season is kicking off here in Minnesota, I can’t help but share more of our beautiful weddings from last summer. Including this bright, beautiful and fun August wedding at Aria!

Lauren and Evan planned their wedding remotely while living in Chicago. And thanks to Lauren’s wonderful organizational skills and her mom Julie’s assistance here in Minnesota we were able to have a lot of fun with the planning.

They choose Aria to host their ceremony and reception because they had a lot of out of town guests and wanted to make it as easy as possible for their guests to get around town and enjoy the celebration.

Evan proposed to Lauren with one of her favorite treats, Ice Cream.. So when they told me this I not only thought we needed to have Ice cream for the dessert at the wedding.. but we should also incorporate it into cocktail hour (because everyone loves Ice Cream).

This wedding… Wow!!! Thats all I can say!!! I was so honored when Bailey and Matt hired us to help plan their June wedding. Not only did I feel an immmediate connection with Bailey , but I also loved how she trusted the vendors that she hired!!

At the first meeting, Bailey and Matt had a handful of inspiration photos of what they were looking for in terms of decor. Those inspiration photos then turned into sketches and ideas put on paper by Sadies Floral and PHOS Events.

Luckily for all of us, the sketch turned into a beautiful reality and on a Sunday afternoon in June Aria was transformed into a space filled with hanging chandeliers, hanging flowers, a hanging chuppa and lots and lots of beautiful white flowers and candles!!

There are few events that truly take my breath away after planning 800 weddings.. and this was one that did, not only because it was beautiful, but also because Bailey and Matt trusted the vision and never quesitoned all of the crazy sketches and mockups we made 🙂
