Kelly & Ryan | Kaylen Larson | Aria, Minneapolis
Kelly and Ryan are two of the kindest people you’ll ever meet! They planned their Minnesota wedding from North Dakota, and wanted a wedding planner to help plan and coordinate logistics so they could enjoy their special day! Their wedding truly brought the dramatic wow factor with rich details and a palette of merlot, gold and greenery. Since it was a spring wedding, we added pops of blush, pink and peach for a lighter hue, which paired beautifully. Kelly looked like an actual fairytale bride in her backless, sheer-sleeved gown, especially when her and Ryan hit the dance floor! The champagne poured all night as guests danced the night away on the Aria stage.

Gaura & Brett | Errin Hiltbrand Photography | Monona Terrace, Madison, WI
Gaura and Brett’s wedding day was classy, gorgeous and so much fun - just like them! They incorporated so many personal elements, which made their day truly memorable and one of a kind; beginning with their downtown Madison, Wis., venue where they first met in college. The bride wore a hair clip made from a bow she wore as a child; the groom’s brother officiated the ceremony and shared beautiful stories about the couple; trivia cards dressed the cocktail tables for guests to enjoy during social hour - you won’t beat this power couple at trivia; photos of the bride and groom at that age matched the reception table numbers; and a surprise visit from the UW-Madison marching band kicked-off the reception to a room full of Madison alumni! You could feel the love, joy and intimacy throughout this entire wedding celebration.
