Kate and Tim had three things they were absolutely set on for their wedding day: vivid florals, live music and a memorable dining experience. Having met at Martina, a Linden Hills staple, the pair's relationship grew over countless date nights filled with food, drinks and time with their favorite people—an element they sought to reflect in their celebration. 

The Four Seasons Hotel Minneapolis was an obvious choice for the couple with its outdoor area ideal for a grand ceremony and its renowned restaurant, Mara, serving as the intimate counterpart for the reception. Inspired by the French Riviera, vibrant-hued blooms graced the rooftop space. Lush bundles of nontraditional stems lined the aisle and altar, creating an elegant backdrop against the city skyline. In a stunning, glittering gown and playful high ponytail, Kate pledged her love to Tim surrounded by friends and family. A live Bossa Nova band scored the evening with its modern jazzy vibe. 

Slipping away for a private moment, Kate and Tim shared a champagne toast at Porzana, sister restaurant to Martina, before joining their guests for dinner and dancing. A retro ambiance welcomed guests to the reception at Mara. 

Gold accents and burnt orange velvet chairs set the scene for a warm and intimate celebration. Fully immersed in their vision of the perfect wedding day come to life, Kate and Tim rang in their first night as husband and wife with delicious cuisine, a chocolate fountain and lots of love.
