A bright, cheery color palette was on full display for Minnesota Bride's Best of 2024 awards at Equestria West at Bavaria Downs. Planned and designed by Events by Melody, the inspiration behind the event was the artist Henri Matisse. Vibrant hues and bold prints were effortlessly complemented by lush florals and lively patterns. Guests were welcomed with espresso martinis and delicious food. The joyous theme was enhanced with artistic details like custom bar setup, unique linens, live music and, of course, everyone's playful attire.
CEO and owner, Sonja Babich took to the stage to say a few things about the wedding world. Lara Burnap presented the editor's choice awards, then Brooke Beise took to the stage to talk about the wonderful Minnesota wedding industry. The finalists and winners were voted on by readers, followers, and the wedding industry in our open online voting earlier this year. The awards brought forth laughter and happy tears. A celebration was in order post-awards; guests gathered to dance the night away and enjoy late-night bites and desserts.
Minnesota Bride's Best of 2024 awards recognized all the talents and hard work the Minnesota wedding industry does throughout the year. Thank you to all who attended and contributed their talents! Congrats to all the finalists and winners!
