Rustic Ski Lodge Styled Shoot

For this styled shoot, Mont Du Lac approached us to assist in transforming their lower lodge into a magical rustic ski lodge wedding space. We took on the challenge and with a little bit of decor and a lot of draping, this space transformed into the cozy lodge reception of anyone’s dreams.

The earthy palette was inspired by the natural woodsy greens, dusty sky and lake blue and the wood tones throughout the entire resort. Our farm tables helped to bring out the natural wooden elements of the space like their wood pillars and beams. While the linens & table decor brought in pops of color to keep the eye moving.

The striped tea towel napkins helped keep the overall vibe a touch more modern while the Madeline loveseat brought in a timeless touch that we all know and love. A faux greenery install over the harvest table helped to bring the eye to the focal point of the space while the bistro lights over the rest of the ceiling brought some much needed warm glow.

As the evening wore on, we found ourselves enjoying the warmth of the outdoor firepits. On a sweet note, the cutting cake offered the perfect moment to bring in a little extra jazz. The velvet linen really brings in a warmth and softness while the banner behind keeps things a little whimsical and rustic.

The way this space glowed at night was like no other thanks to Duluth Event Lighting. Even just looking at the images, you can see how the space invites you in to drink and dance the night away or cozy up next to someone you love.

We were so happy to be able to play a big role in transforming this space from the lower lodge into a warm and inviting reception space. We absolutely can not wait until we get the chance to help this space transform again.

Classic Blush & Navy Wedding

Tess and Travis’s wedding was a classic vision in blush and navy with natural wooden accents and lots of florals. Their big day was one of the first weddings at The Garden event center, formerly The Sports Garden, and really helped to show off how polished and professional this new venue can be.

The getting ready area up in the Bayview room was complete with a mini lounge for the girls to hang in while they primped and prepped. There are stunning views from this space and amazing natural light that a bridal party can appreciate all morning long.

This stunning ceremony set up was created with an extra tall drape backdrop and hexagon arch as well as a stunning floral instillation from Eve by Diane Kaarbo. The backdrop perfectly frames the ceremony space while still allowing light to flow through these windows straight from Lake Ave. The perfect location to tie the knot.

Tess and Travis’s guests were lounging in style at their cocktail hour & reception. With 2 separate lounge sets they were able to relax and enjoy each others company all night long.

Tables covered in navy linens and statement farm tables set the backdrop for stunning gold centerpiece components & lots of floral and greenery. Gold votives and brass candlesticks throughout the tables provided a warm ambiance later in the evening. The sweetheart table for just Tess & Travis was striking in all ivory with statement Goodman chairs for the couple.

This classic navy & blush wedding was such a fabulous first wedding at The Garden. We can’t wait to head back over to Canal Park and see what else we can do with this stunning industrial space.
