A Dazzling Day at the Lush Bavaria Downs

Surrounded by lush, rolling hills, Bavaria Downs in Chaska was the ideal locale for Kiera Nelson and Neal Pionk’s midsummer soirée. Seeking a cottage-garden feel, bride and groom wanted to bring the space to life with an abundance of fresh flowers, and Sadie’s Floral delivered. The ceremony aisle was embellished with white petals and stunning arrangements of neutral blooms. Kiera held a pageant-style bouquet of orchids, beautifully matching her gown’s floral appliqués. Bowers of greenery and illuminated chandeliers made for an enchanting ambiance as Kiera and Neal became husband and wife. Cocktail hour included yard games, hors d’oeuvres for the adults and a balloon artist and custom coloring books for the kids. Loved ones enjoyed visiting with the couple’s dogs in attendance, Neko and Surly, featured on the cute cocktail napkins. Cheese curds and mini doughnuts served as the perfect snack to conclude the newlyweds’ day.
