Check out our latest feature in Minnesota Bride Magazine!

I spy Melissa and Mitch’s wedding day featured in the latest Minnesota Bride Magazine. This amazing couple had to postpone their wedding due to Covid-19, but that didn’t stop them. We partnered with an incredible vendor team to bring this intimate celebration to life. Style Architects planned and designed the couples wedding day and post celebration in Ireland. You heard that right. They took 40 of their guests on a trip to Ireland to continue the festivities.

Everything about this intimate day was planned and executed perfectly. And I will never get over that cake! Scroll down for the full vendor list.

Spring Styled Shoot

My floral dreams came true for this spring styled shoot I did with a couple of amazing partners.  When Christy Tyler Photography approached me to be a part of her Lighting Workshop for Photographers I was thrilled.  I decided that I was going to totally go for it and create what I've been wanted to do for a while.  A romantic, whimsical inspirational shoot filled with soft florals and gorgeous candles.  This was my first time working with so many incredible people.  Everything was so perfect!  

Big shout out to all the amazing people who worked on this styled shoot.  It couldn't have happened without all of your talents.

Amanda + Max

It's freezing outside, so I'm just going to chill in front of my computer and look at pretty pictures of flowers and happy couples.  Amanda and Max were a pleasure to work with.  When I heard she wanted an Italian Mediterranean theme for her big day I was all over it.  Here are a few photos from the amazing photographer Sally O'Donnell Photography and some taken by yours truly.

Classic and elegant wedding

I love the feeling of opening my email and seeing photos from a wedding I've done.  Elizabeth and Keith had a classic and elegant wedding filled with gorgeous peonies and hydrangeas at the Metropolitan Club of Willis Tower.  What a view!  The venue was gorgeous and this couple is so sweet.

Romantic bouquets

Inspiration is everywhere.  I find it in nature, my kids, the city, and in my backyard.  Right now I've been really inspired by romantic bouquets with a lot of movement.  Loose greenery gives it a delicate feel that's whimsical and natural.  Take a look at these gorgeous bouquets that have been inspiring me lately.
