John and Michelle

I love this time of year! I get to meet all kinds of new clients and reflect back on all of the fantastic weddings from the past summer.. Michelle and John’s wedding was one of them! I loved Michelle and John! Michelle had an impeccable eye for details and knew exactly what she wanted! John was present at every meeting that we had and took an interest in flowers and decor (which I always appreciate!!!) They were engaged in December and married in July and that made for a quick and fun planning process! Weddings planned under 6-9 months are always my favorite! I love the adrenaline rush and the quick decisions that need to be made! Thank you to the great team of vendors that made this July day so beautiful!!

Claire and Matt - May 29th

As you can tell.. I have not been blogging very often as we have been busy creating and coordinating wonderful weddings every weekend since April... But I am getting very anxious to share these wonderful weddings with you. Matt and Claire started their planning about a year ago when they called me from New York and told me all about their wonderful ideas and I explained how I could help turn their long distance planning into an easy process!! To see this vision become reality is my favorite part of my job and I am still in awe of how some ideas can really transform a space! Enjoy the photos by the wonderful Gina from A Truth Be Shown... Not only does she do an amazing job, she is very quick getting me photos!

Courtney and Dan - July 17th

Courtney and Dan were married on July 17th on a beautiful sunny day! Luckily for us, the rain did not start until early in the evening and Laurie Schneider was able to capture some fabulous photographs! Courtney and her mom left no detail untouched. From the crystals on the menu cards to the corresponding colors of the napkins, chargers, chair covers it all looked amazing. One of my favorite aspects of this wedding were the flowers and over the top centerpieces. Courtney worked with the talented Carra from La Petite Fleur to create these whimsical designs. I personally LOVED the centerpiece with the branches going horizontal. I know that Carra was setting up her designs all day at the venue and it was well worth it!

Sara-Jo and Paul - June 26th

When I met Sara Jo and Paul over a year before their June 26th, 2010 wedding I knew that we had a connection. They had such an infectious energy and such a positive attitude I was so exited to help them in their journey. We started to plan a Duluth Wedding because of their love for the north shore. After a few weeks of hunting it was clear that we were not going to find a venue that they loved. So we shifted out direction back to planning their dream wedding in the Minneapolis area. Not only was I able to spend a lot of time with Sara-Jo and Paul, but Sara-Jo’s wonderful mother was involved as well. I love NOTHING more than the relationships I form with my clients and their parents.... It becomes such a wonderful experience and I always feel like I am part of the family by the end of the planning process!!
Sara-Jo and Paul.. I hope you are enjoying married life! I feel like I have life long friends in both of you and I know that your love will stand the test of time. You are truly soulmates and I felt so loved just being able to share this process and your day with you!!!
