(Above) Grey Cloud House, a charming private venue on Grey Cloud Island near St. Paul, makes a wonderful backdrop for engagement or wedding day photos. The house, a midcentury A-frame nestled in the woods, has a lovely patio as well as the freestanding glass house, formerly a greenhouse. Add your own special flair like this arch from Santé Events and Rentals, enhanced with a banquet of flowers by Pristine Floral.

(Below) It’s cheery and cozy inside Grey Cloud House’s jewel-box of a house, where you and your nearest and dearest can take your seat at this feast for the eyes, coordinated by Events by Melody.

Included in this stunning arrangement are Coral Charm peonies, David Austin Juliet garden roses, ranunculus and bleached ruscus. The simple addition of a personalized menu card from Jill Elaine Designs and a single eucalyptus branch strikes the perfect grace note.
