Kristen and Alex

It was a rainy day this past Friday.. but that did not stop Kristen and Alex from having a wonderful wedding! The Holiday Inn-Lakeville looked amazing all lit up with orange uplighting, black branches, orange flowers and tons and tons of candles. This wedding was a lot of fun to plan from the start to the end. I loved the decor (this actually inspired me to turn a room of my house into a damask design!) I had a lot of fun creating the menu cards, table numbers, table runners and every decor piece to really pull it all together! Thanks to Kristen, Alex and Diane (Kristen's wonderful mom) for letting me help with your big day!!!
And a wonderful thank you and kudos to Graddy Photography for their great photos.. the photos below were taken by us, except the ones that are noted.. they are by Graddy!!

Michelle and Jon - September 18th

Michelle and Jon were referred to me by Sarah and Jon.. my wonderful May 23rd couple! I love referrals.. because you instantly know you will "click".
In addition to these photos check out these great photos from Paige Dewess Photography.

We had a great day, the weather was perfect and the always amazing Nicollet Island Pavillion was a great backdrop for the reception. Jon's mother and sister did all of the flowers and did a fantastic job!!! I hope you are having fun in Italy Jon and Michelle... I am excited to hear about all of your stories!

Vera and Jon- August 22nd

Vera and Jon were married on a beautiful summer day in St. Paul!! Vera is from Russia so planning this wedding was a wonderful learning experience for me. I loved learning of all of the traditions and it was especially touching listening to the speeches in Russian and interacting with her friends and families from afar. The Always wonderful staff at the St. Paul Hotel made the day great and the decor really worked in the M Street Cafe! Thanks to Lisa at Happily Ever After for these Great Images! The whole wedding party and family were amazing and it made it a very fun experience! Thanks Vera and Jon for letting me be a part of your day and your life! I wish you all of the best!!
