Carolyn & Mike: A Casual Outdoor Affair

Real Wedding

Carolyn and Mike's beautifully relaxed outdoor wedding is picture-perfect. This couple is all about fun and good times, from the casual ceremony pre-party on the lawn to the lovely dance floor at Aria, Minneapolis. I adore the bride's beaded gown, which brings a sense of glamour and elegance to the otherwise rustic event, and comes together perfectly with her simple lavender bouquet. I can't think of a prettier image than sweet summer and true love. Captured by Megan Daas Photography, this wedding is all kinds of inspirational.

From the photographer:

The morning started out low key and relaxed with mimosas and laughs as the bride and her girls got ready. Once Carolyn was ready we headed to a park where her groom watcher her walk across a field of wildflowers to see him for the first time in her incredible dress. After a few photos together they met their bridal party at the park as a sort of pre-party, where they passed out beer and mini bottles of champagne to enjoy some down time before the ceremony. Surrounded by close friends and views of the city across the lake, they made it official. They continued the celebration at Aria with stunning yet simple decor, and danced the night away under ambient twinkling string lights.
