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

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!

Jessica and Luke’s wedding day could not have been any more beautiful!! We had been planning this wedding for well over a year and Jessica perfected every last detail of the day!! The ceremony was at the iconic Basilica of St. Mary and the reception was at the Classic Lafayette Club on Lake Minnetonka in Minnesota. Both of these venues are timeless wedding venues that were as elegant and classic as the couple themselves. White floral with touches of greenery were used for the centerpieces and the Classic Lafayette Club ballroom glowed with candlelight.

 

I loved the detail of the monogram and wax seal that was used for the invitations as well as all of the day of stationery.The small details like this are what really tied everything together; And Farina made one of my favorite wedding cakes. The simple design was complemented by lots of white floral.

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 🙂

Caitlin and Micheal’s beautiful April wedding day was held at two of my favorite locations… The Basilica of St. Mary and Aria in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Both are classic wedding venues and gave this wedding a beautiful and intimate feel. Caitlin knew exactly what she wanted for the design of the wedding. The chandeliers and dripping orchids made a big statement in Aria. The wedding guests danced the night away with one of my favorite bands.. Blue Water Kings. As you can see from the photos, the weather really cooperated on this sunny wedding day and Cadence and Eli were able to capture some beautiful shots!

Congratulations Caitlin and Micheal! It was a joy to get to know you!
