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.

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.

Bright Fall Backyard Wedding

Sydney & Blake’s wedding was near and dear to our hearts. Sydeny is a former employee of ours who had been dreaming of a magical ballroom wedding her entire life. When the time finally came though, the universe had other plans and threw a pandemic in the way of things.

The couple pivoted and ended up with something even more magical, a surprise backyard wedding for just their closets family & friends at the home they had just bought together.

The ceremony consisted of only their immediate family, who had been told ahead of time they were attending a wedding. We used a collection of lounge furniture and dining chairs to create a cozy atmosphere for their guests. Our hexagon arch and tan vintage rug were showstoppers as well as the centerpiece of their ceremony set.

After the ceremony, we converted the arch area into a lounge & photo backdrop using the collection of furniture that was at the ceremony. We also created a second lounge area to accommodate close conversations. The couple’s shed acted as the self serve bar with a few of our 4 ft farm tables and some custom signage with their cute pup’s likeness.

Dinner was served open air in the grassy area of the back yard. A burger bar and individual charcuterie plates were the perfect mix of upscale but still casual. Our farm tables provided the perfect place for guests to set up camp for the evening, adorned with a simple mix of candlesticks, votives, and greenery.

The dessert display was a sweet mix of family favorites on our boho shelf & cut glass cake plates. Together, there was plenty of room to place all the sweets and the small cutting cake for the couple.

Even though things hadn’t gone as originally planned, this intimate backyard wedding had so much more magic than Sydney & Blake could’ve asked for. The bright fall tones mixed with muted neutrals created the perfect inviting palette for the entire day, even through to the crackle of the late night bonfire.
