Jessica and Ryan's Beach Club Wedding

I'm proud to feature the wedding of a very good friend of mine, Jessica Bell. Jessica and I were roommates before I got married, and it was so great to be able to live with her during the period of time when she met Ryan (he spotted her at a concert and found her later tagged in photos online and asked her out!). She was married at the Calhoun Beach Club right here in Minneapolis.

Great Gatsby Themed Reception

Stephanie and Judson are having a Gatsby themed wedding, so we picked some vintage fonts to match the style. Love these!

 

Sara and AJ's Fair Grounds Wedding

Sara had my DREAM wedding. Dakota County Fair Grounds, mint and coral for her colors, everything vintage. I loved being able to create things for this event. She gave me total creative control, and was one of the most laid back anything goes brides ever. She even invited me to the reception! Thanks Sara, for letting me be a part of your day!

 

 

Gale Woods Farm Photo Shoot

The husband and I decided to take a drive on this fine Sunday afternoon, so we ventured out to Minnetrista to Gale Woods Farm, and I got in some great shots of my signs. Most of these signs are for my new friend Sarah for her wedding this September at Dakota County Fair Grounds and for another gal Ashley, whose wedding is just around the corner. Others are just some I've been working on, so take a peek!

 

 

  

 

 

 

Brian and Rachel's Country Wedding

I had the pleasure of providing signs for my brother-in-law (and now new sister-in-law's!) wedding this weekend. They got married on the family farm, so I was able to tap into my rustic side and provide some awesome stuff that matched their personal, country style while still looking modern. 

Here is their welcome sign. We nailed it right to the tree, and since there was a chance of rain that day, we wrapped it in a big plastic bag first, to make it water proof. Worked wonders!

They let me try my hand at this new timeline sign I've been wanting to make for some time. They were having a very casual wedding, filled with all kinds of lawn games and a bonfire to cap off the night.

 

The rain held off for them to have their ceremony outside. Everyone sat on hay bales; it was awesome. We put my chalkboards to good use to let people know to sit anywhere they wanted. 

Look at their reception venue! They turned their horse barn into one of the most romantic barn wedding receptions I've ever seen. Each horse stall was a different "station"; food, gifts, guestbooks, etc.

And this bad boy, was my special project. I wanted to make them something they could put in their house after their wedding, so I created this. It leaned against the head table, and fit the decor perfectly! Plus, the bride teared up when she saw it; totally worth it. :)

 I hung twine from one of my frames, and we displayed their engagement pictures on it next to the guestbook.

 

They used mason jars for decor and for their centerpieces, so I used a graphic I purchased and worked it into one of the signs.

 

When the reception kicked off we moved the timeline sign into the barn, so people could see what was coming next in the night.

 We placed this sign outside the "food" station stall; we thought it was fitting. :)

 Brian and Rachel (the bride and groom) were friends for most of their relationship, so many of the guests were fuzzy on "how they came to be official", so we reused the chalkboard after the ceremony and wrote out their story for the reception.

Now this, is one of my favorite items. While looking around in one of their sheds for a desk to place the guestbook on, I came across this old window pane. We cleaned it up and I made a piece for them to decorate the food stall with, and they can keep it after the wedding for home decor. Brian and Rachel love horses, so I put two intertwined horseshoes in between their initials. 

 

 

  

And to end the night, the bonfire, as promised. My brother-in-law Nate took this picture, and I feel it perfectly shows the beauty that was that entire day. 

 

 Thank you guys, for letting me use my work to decorate for your big day!!!
