Lake Superior Lovers Wedding

When we first started chatting with Megan & Michael about the design for their big day, they just kept coming back to loving Lake Superior and wanting to embrace their surroundings while they wed. We told them to just “lean in” and go for it! The result was a magical winter wedding full of Lake Superior touches, SO much joy & a warmth that matched the couple perfectly.

The ceremony took place at The Garden in Canal Park where the couple gathered with their closest family & friends. An extra tall backdrop framed the couple along with 2 gold columns with greenery from Superior Blooms. Touches of floral were added with plant stands down the aisle. This created the perfect space for Megan & Michael’s ceremony and then quickly flipped to their social hour when they enjoyed hot cocoa and appetizers.

The entire wedding then paraded across the blue bridge and headed to the DECC Harborside ballroom for an evening full of warm candlelight. Each centerpiece contained wood elements or lake superior rocks along with the warm glow of the candles. The true statement in the space was their extra large harvest style head table that sat each and every one of their friends.. This statement table was draped in navy floor length linens and was decked out with the plant stands & gold pillars that were brought over from the ceremony.

The evening was capped off with desserts and dancing next to the Lake Superior is For Lovers neon sign & a stunning view of the lift bridge. The entire wedding day truly was filled with unique details that suited the couple and highlighted their love for the region! Megan and Michael’s warm personalities shined through in every aspect of their wedding day.

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.
