Vendor Shout Outs:

Palm Beach Photography
Tonya Laker gives her 110% attention to her clients. She’s prompt, creative and a hard worker.  I had so much fun with her–especially with the props we used. I absolutely love and adore her!

Hilton Hotel {coordinator/caterer}
Nickole D’Angelo made my life easier. She is one of the best coordinators I have dealt with. She was attentive to all my needs and I highly recommend her. The food at Hilton was scrumptious and I have no complaints.

Celebrations by Kathy Wedding Decor
Kathy did an amazing job with my decor. She was on time and attentive to all my requests.

MagnetStreet Weddings
I love MagnetStreet Design! The personalization tool is user friendly and the colors were vivid and beautiful.

Happy May Day!

Today we’re featuring Elyse and Weston’s urban engagement photos. Their sweet session was taken at a studio in downtown Minneapolis and also at the infamous Stone Arch Bridge–an historic railroad bridge that spans the mighty Mississippi River. The Stone Arch Bridge is a special location for Elyse and Weston … because it’s where Weston proposed!

We love city engagement sessions–and how they capture the personality of not only the couple, but the city too. We also love Elyse’s gorgeous smile and the way she lights up when Weston looks at her! Enjoy!

Wedding style: classic, romantic, outdoor garden
Colors: Berry Blue and White
Photographer: Tracy Walsh, Poser Design

Tracy of Poser Design did an amazing job! She is incredibly talented, and she made us feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer. Her work is exceptional.

Happy Color Monday: the day devoted to reinventing a Save the Date or Wedding Invitation design through the transformative effect of color. Today, we’re all about modern wedding stripes. Here are just a few ways that you can incorporate stripes into your wedding decor, attire, florals, etc. So fun! We’ve taken Sassy Stripes, a fun and contemporary striped Save the Date Magnet design and took it from sweet to formal to spring-y to preppy to romantic to sleek and chic …
