The bride’s that call us the oct are all looking for the same thing.. a unique location with lots of personal touches and that is JUST what Carly and Joe got on their October wedding date!! I wish I could have been there.. but I was due with my son that week.. so my AMAZING coordinators Andrea and Brooke did a wonderful job and nailed it!!!

This is a really fun post for me to write!! I LOVE Emily and Brian (I love all of my couples!!) and I love their family! I truly feel like I was welcomed into the family with open arms, and that is one of my favorite parts of my job! I remember the first time that I met Emily, Brian and Emily’s family – It was in the middle of winter and we were standing in their living room pointing out in the backyard to where the tent would go (and having to use a lot of imagination) and starting our vision!!
Emily’s parents have a wonderful home in Deephaven, and that was the backdrop for their nautical themed wedding day! There were so many fun elements that were brought into the design…. Lots of rope, sailboats as place cards, lanterns, a program chalkboard… and I could go on and on… After the ceremony the wedding party all got onto a boat for a perfect send off! Thank you for allowing me to be apart of your planning process, your wedding day and most of all.. Your Family!!!!

I had the Pleasure to work with Anna and Mark Last September. It is such a Small World… Anna is my best friend’s College Roomate. Obviously over 4 years of college I became good friends with her as well. Anna grew up in Benson, MN.. so when I found out she was getting married in my hometown I just had to laugh!! I am from a small town and there are not a lot of venues there, so very rarely does it draw in people from out of town…

Anna was married at Willow Lake Farm. A local farm that Anna helped out with environmental projects through the University of MN. So needless to say, its a small world and it was a lot of fun to “Go Home” and plan this AMAZING wedding on the farm! Anna and Mark worked for months to get this farm ready to go, and they did a fantastic job. I am so happy I was able to share in their special day!!!

Thanks to Federer Photgraphy for these wonderful Images!

On June 27th I had the pleasure of helping Jim and Katie with their amazing wedding! We have been working together for over the last year planning their wedding at Katie’ Parents Home in Chisago City. The whole time Katie and Jim lived in Chicago. So it was fun to see them when they came into town and I had the pleasure of working with their families and really help create this amazing backyard wedding!

I see a lot of cool things… but their first dance tops the charts. Katie loves the water and loves skiing….. So when she told me that she and Jim would do a “secret” water ski dance for their first suprise dance I was sooooo excited!! It was a secret and it was so hard to keep!! I will post the whole video when I get it, but Katie emailed me this today before she left on her honeymoon! I cant wait to show more details… but look at my wonderful bride who is not afraid of a little water or sand on her (even before dinner… she is a trooper!)
