Pastel Fall Wedding

This sweet pastel palette for Leah and Joel’s fall wedding really had our hearts. Their wedding took place on their private property which offered them a lot of options to customize and personalize their decor & floral elements. The color palette combined with their personal touches really made this wedding one for the books.

Leah & Joel made their guestbook table it’s own moment with our vintage wooden signing table and a stunning floral from Superior Blooms. It didn’t stop there though, each of the tables was set to a T with dusty blue napkins folded in a pocket fold for the silverware to slip in. A little candlelight brought all the tables together.

Our farm tables offered the perfect backdrop for this dusty pastel palette. Touches of gold in the chargers and votives really tied the entire look together while still playing into the wooded surroundings of the reception.

The beautiful setting and stunning color palette of Leah & Joel’s wedding really did make it one of our favorites of the season. We’re so pleased with how all the details came together and even happier that Leah & Joel had such an amazing time with their friends and family!

Northwoods Hygge Styled Shoot

When planning this styled shoot we thought a lot about the overall vibe of Bluefin Bay Resort and narrowed in on the Northwood Hygge feel that Bluefin has. The Scandinavian design of the Bluefin Grille was calling for a little bit of snuggly warmth with a touch of clean and minimal lines.

Our triangle arch was a clear choice for this ceremony set. The shape mimics the roofline of the resort itself and the warm wood tones tie back to the hygge feeling. The addition of layered rugs in the alter add the idea of a place to arrive & truly feel welcomed to the ceremony.

This quaint and cozy lounge is one of our favorites to date. The warm leather tones from the ottomans and vintage suitcases meld so well with the midcentury & boho details of the seating. The Bailey Builds piece resting on the fireplace layered with a custom sign really ties the entire look together. Add layers and layers of pillows & blankets and pop the lounge right next to the fireplace and you have a spot guests won’t ever want to leave.

It was important that we tie the color palette and textures into every detail for this photo shoot. Modern bud vases used across the centerpiece & accent decor tie the whole look together. Layers of driftwood, runners, and textured linen offer the warm hygge vibe while still recognizing the great gitchee gumee (Lake Superior) right outside the windows.

The window nook in the upper restaurant at Bluefin Grill just calls for a cozy sweetheart table. Layered with lots of fabrics and texture, this table is the perfect place for newlyweds to take it all in. The statement piece at the front of the table adds a unique spin on the traditional sweetheart table and makes for some stunning photo opportunities.

This shoot with Bluefin Bay & Hannah Nicole is one of our favorites to date as it encompasses the warm & cozy hygge that we as northern Minnesotans crave every winter. The ties back to the lake are also something we constantly seek out and hear clients ask for. Put those two things together and you’ve really won over our hearts.

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.
