On the 50th anniversary of his parents’ wedding, Trip married the love of his life, Natalie, at St. Paul College Club. The two met in law school seven years ago, and despite the serious nature of their profession, they wanted their wedding day to be laid-back, reflecting their go-with-the-flow personalities.
Drawing inspiration from the venue’s colorful pops of pink and blue décor, the aesthetic for Natalie and Trip’s day was described as “classic vintage with a kitschy twist.” Pink bows along the main staircase set the tone for a playful affair. The indoor ceremony space served as a versatile blank slate. Romantic layers of pink silk fabric were fashioned into a retro backdrop. Opting to balance the cheeky pops of color, white hydrangeas, calla lilies and lush foliage in artistic sculptural arrangements to create a unique altar.
With a touch of drama, Natalie glided down the aisle with a bouquet of elegant stems tied with a black bow. Her strapless gown was simple yet striking, accented with a full veil and the lengthy train of her mother’s wedding dress. Trip’s ensemble was equally intentional; his classic tuxedo accented with custom “I Do” shoes from Stubbs and Wootton and a custom cummerbund adorned with a playing card motif.
The evening amplified the undeniable thread of fun woven throughout the wedding day. Laughter floated through the air as Natalie and Trip shared a meal with their loved ones before dancing the night away dressed in pink feather boas and sunglasses.
