AnnaRose Schneider and Jake Sexton’s summertime wedding was a blend of personal moments, timeless touches, vintage details and a big guest list. “Our big wedding showcased our deep love for family and friends. We would not have wanted to begin our next chapter without all the significant people in our lives,” AnnaRose says. “And we love to dance, socialize and entertain.” They exchanged nuptials at the church across from where they had their first date at Gus Gus (formerly Stewarts Cafe) in Saint Paul. Playing off her name, AnnaRose incorporated roses into the lace of her dress while Jake sported a cream tux, in honor of his late grandfather who sported a white dinner jacket at his own wedding. Following the ceremony, they toasted to their union at Gus Gus with their wedding party before heading to the reception at The Depot. In The Depot’s Winter Garden, the bar served signature drinks in honor of the couple: the “Spicy Red Head” margarita and “The Gentleman’s Jake” gin and tonic. As a nod to the generations before them and a touch of historical charm, the décor included vintage family wedding photos and a custom keepsake trunk. The reception was a candlelit dream with lush florals in pale blue tones, pops of coral, blush and gold, and lush florals. Dessert featured a donut bar and espresso martinis—reflecting the couple’s shared love for coffee—which helped end the night on an energizing note.
