I had the honor of helping Melissa and David plan their June wedding at Aria in Minneapolis and let me tell you.. I just loved working with this fun family!! It all started last year when I had the honor of planning Melissa’s sister Jenni’s wedding at Nicollet Island Pavillion. Two sisters getting married 8 months apart…. now that’s a busy year for all of the friends and family involved!!

When Melissa hired us she already had the venue and a handful of vendors.. so our services were geared toward helping her and David design the wedding they had envisioned in Aria. Melissa ended up picking a very soft mauve bridesmaids dress color and we geared most of the floral and stationery to this fresh, summery color palette. It helped to soften up the very industrial and dark wedding venue to make it feel like a secret garden in the middle of the city. The hanging greenery and lights structure by PHOS and Sadie’s Floral was the piece that I thought gave the most impact to the room. It not only helped to lighten up the space, but also gave a beautiful and magical feel to the space!

This past summer we have had the pleasure of being at the new Venue in Minneapolis, The  Machine Shop a few different times and we love how the venue transforms for each couples vision and style. Jamie and Sam planned their wedding while leaving on the East Coast and traveling a lot for work… not only is that a lot to take on, but Jamie was the DIY queen. She not only bought all of her own linens, made all of her own stationery, her mom even sewed all 300 of the pink napkins so that they could be the perfect shade of pink!!!
I had a lot of fun getting to know Jamie, Sam and both of their families! They not only planned a wonderful wedding, but they also planned numerous days of lake activities to let their guests take advantage of the beautiful Minnesota Summer!!!
