It helps when your wedding planner puts in an order for perfect weather, right?! I am a huge fan of the bouquets stood out against slate blue bridesmaid gowns Leah selected for her ladies and how they were photographed.

Leah is stunning and her hair is the stuff bridal braid dreams are made of.

Leah and Charlie are truly a perfect pair and I’m so happy I got to be a part of the start of this next chapter.

Allie and Adelmo are so kind, and that kindness and compassion is mirrored by their family and friends. Everyone was smiling and laughing all day, making for a fabulous celebration! Their color palette and decor focused on white and rich greenery with pops of gold and pink for a timeless, classic and romantic ambiance. Once this group hit the dance floor, no one left the entire night!

When we first met, they told me about a recent hiking trip they took through Chile and Patagonia. They shared with us about the ultramarathons that Andy runs and shorter runs that Danica joins for, the ski trips they’ve enjoyed together, and the travels they hope to take in the future. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, wedding planning itself became a bit of an adventure — but it was an adventure that they navigated with intentionality and heart.

They planned their Minnesota wedding from North Dakota, and wanted a wedding planner to help plan and coordinate logistics so they could enjoy their special day!

Their wedding truly brought the dramatic wow factor with rich details and a palette of merlot, gold and greenery. Since it was a spring wedding, we added pops of blush, pink and peach for a lighter hue, which paired beautifully. Kelly looked like an actual fairytale bride in her backless, sheer-sleeved gown, especially when her and Ryan hit the dance floor! The champagne poured all night as guests danced the night away on the Aria stage.
