Minnesota Bride Spring/Summer 2022

Embrace Minnesota's 10,000 lakes in this summery event design by Emmy Ross of Posies and Poise Events. Using custom pieces with personal significance for the couple, a paddle motif and neutral florals, she combines elegance and rustic charm.

1. A SHORE THING

Invitations by Just Write Studios provide a sneak peek of the event to come and the inspiration behind it. With subtle watercolor designs and contrasting cardstock, this suite is ready to set sail. A custom monogram nods to the couple’s love of lake time.

2. TYING THE KNOT 

Symbolize your never-ending love with these handcrafted pieces from Max’s Jewelry. The rose-gold “Large Gabby” diamond eternity ring complements the “Lotus” engagement ring, with a sapphire as a reminder of the land of sky-blue waters.

3. NOTHING BUNDT LAKES

This tree trunk-turned-cake stand stands tall with delicacies from Nothing Bundt Cakes, adorned with florals from Revel & Flourish. Cake flavors range from the classics, like chocolate/chocolate chip, red velvet and carrot cake to delicious combinations like white-chocolate raspberry, pecan praline or the featured seasonal flavor.

4. CENTERING THE CONVERSATION

Revel & Flourish crafts a gorgeous centerpiece with a low profile that easily allows guests to get to know one another across the table. Earthy tones of chocolate roses and dusty peach lisianthus come together in a northwoods-themed container recalling a favorite place.

5. A TOUCH OF BLUE

Walk down the aisle (or the dock) holding this bouquet filled with blue thistle, berries, and a matching distressed ribbon from Revel & Flourish. Amaranthus and pittosporum are among the diverse plants in this leafy assortment, a unique combination that weds the chic and the casual.

6. ROMANTIC LAKESIDE DINNER

Custom place cards of blue agate evoke a dip in the lake, a bright contrast against the earthy stone plate and copper-toned charger and utensils in this place setting from Revel & Flourish. It’s finished off with aqua-colored linens that complement the deep, watery hues of the drinkware, perfect for toasting the happy couple.
