Starry Night Tented Wedding

We are thrilled to present the enchanting tale behind Abby and TJ's wedding that transported us to a celestial realm while still in the heart of Duluth. The starry night theme, coupled with a rich color palette of eggplant, navy, burgundy, emerald, and gold, created a celebration that was as captivating as it was unique.

Abby and TJ took color inspiration from the vast cosmos, infusing their wedding with the mystique of a starry night. The carefully curated color palette, comprising deep eggplant, navy, rich burgundy, emerald green, and opulent gold, set the stage for an otherworldly experience.

The ceiling of the tent became a canvas of stars as the couple requested to bring the night sky indoors. Drapery mimicking the night sky, hanging garlands and lights, and strategically placed lanterns transported Abby, TJ, and their guests to a realm where the boundaries between reality and imagination blurred. It was a celestial dance above, echoing the romantic dance below.

The reception space at under the tent became a cosmic tapestry of color. Each table, a unique composition of deep hues and metallic accents, reflected the celestial inspiration. From the richness of the eggplant napkins, to the playfulness of the florals, the tables told a story of love written in the language of the stars.

Lounge areas, tucked in the nooks of the Glensheen property, offered pockets of comfort amid the celestial celebration. Plush seating in deep jewel tones, adorned with golden accents, provided Abby, TJ, and their guests with stylish and intimate spaces to bask in the enchantment of the starry night.


Abby & TJ offered us the perfect opportunity to dive into their celestial theme & turn their starry dreams into reality. We were thrilled with the dramatic color palette & how we were able to incorporate the theme into each element of the day.

Fall Boho Wedding

Amanda and Kody’s warm fall wedding at The Malting Building truly showed the main purpose of bringing guests together in a warm and inviting atmosphere. The decor and floral used in their wedding placed accents in just the right places and made sure to highlight the right areas.

The color palette chosen played into classic fall tones but also offered a bit of brightness in the greenery and florals. The pampas elements also accented the fall hues well and played into the wooden tones of the space. Our wooden triangle arch also matches the tones of the building and accented with asymmetric florals, you can’t go wrong.

After the ceremony the room flipped for the reception and boasted a long harvest style head table with the ceremony arch behind the couple. Upgraded elements on the head table like chargers, menus, and place cards offered a luxe feel for the bridal party.

Amanda & Kody partied away and also got a chance to snuggle on the Madeline settee during their dinner. The warm and inviting atmosphere allowed them to smile and laugh the night away with their guests and truly feel comfortable in the environment that was created for them.

Neutral Boho Styled Shoot

This styled shoot was dreamed up in combination with the lovely ladies of Greysolon Ballroom. With Gichi-Ode' Akiing Park being a new outdoor ceremony option for Greysolon, the team at the Ballroom wanted images of the space for their couples to envision tying the knot there.

The ceremony location has sprawling views of Lake Superior which really can’t be beat. Our triangle arch perfectly frames the view on the couple while not blocking any lake lovers views. The white balloon vases also add the perfect touch of boho to the scene and everything ties together with some neutral grasses that mimic those growing in the park.

This sweet little lounge set offers the perfect opportunity for newlyweds to have a snuggle and some stunning photos. Our madeline loveseat, rattan barrel chairs and leather cubes provide the perfect landing pad to take a seat and have a chat. Using the rattan side tables together as a coffee table was the perfect way to tie in a bit more boho rattan to the lounge while offering a great place to set the dried floral arrangement from Superior Blooms.

A little dinner set up in the park is a fabulous opportunity to showcase options for an intimate meal. The Madeline loveseat is the perfect option for a statement sweetheart settee while our wooden farm table tied into the surroundings. The fall leaves created a festive confetti look on the park lawn which just asks for a celebration.

We’re so grateful to work with the team at Greysolon and have the opportunity to create in this new wedding space. We’re truly excited to start getting inquiries for this space and see what other stunning combinations we can dream up together.
