A Wedding to Remember

The craziest MBellish experience I've had yet is getting back and forth from decorating Krista and Jesse's wedding on December 11, 2010....the day of the enormous snowstorm! I was so grateful my husband drives a 4x4 truck, otherwise I'm not sure I would have made it to Raspberry Island's Boat Club! During the adventure, I helped push several stuck cars, got stuck twice myself, and was stuck behind a woman pregnant with twins on 494 who I ended up safely taking back to my home (true story!).

Krista and Jesse are such a sweet couple I was so happy to get there for them and help make the Boat Club beautiful. It sounds like the bride was a trooper and took some fun pictures out in the snow. Krista chose the Venice centerpiece and elegant votives, accented by deep red roses petals by Molly's Flower Studio.

Arboretum Splendor

A big thank you to Maia Baldauf of La Vie Photography and Sadie of Sadie's Floral for passing along these fantastic pictures of a recent reception at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. I've never made it to the Arboretum, but it looks so charming! The MBellish Venice centerpiece helped accent the reception tables, along with the gorgeous flowers from Sadie's.

My brother's wedding!

I am elated to post pictures from my brother, Bill's, wedding on 10/15. Bill and his new bride, Erin, planned a spectacular event in Rochester, MN, capping off with their reception at the Rochester Golf and Country Club. It was so much fun and so special to see my one and only sibling get married to a wonderful woman.

MBellish, of course, helped out with their decor. At the rehearsal dinner at the fabulous Rainbow Cafe in Pine Island, we used the Sausalito mosaic hurricanes surrounded by bittersweet and gourds. At the wedding reception, we used the Venice centerpiece on all of their guest tables, surrounded by five elegant votives and voodoo orange rose petals. On their cocktail tables, they used our trio of square vases with submerged orchids (noorah blue, tangerine and buffalo orange mokaras) with ivory floating candles. Their entry way tables were accented with our Sausalito mosaic hurricanes, and their head table was accented with our tall cylinders, kept simple with water and ivory floating candles. The stunning fall flowers were by Everyday Bouquets of Rochester.

Fall elegance at Rush Creek

Rush Creek is the perfect venue for the fall, with amazing views of the golf course and the surrounding nature. Here are a few pictures from a wedding set-up I did there in September. I thought the Venice piece worked perfectly with the colors in the ballroom. Gorgeous flowers from Trish at The Loft Floral.

Beauty in Purple and Gold

For Jaci and Paul's 9/26/09 wedding, I had the pleasure of working with my friend Carra at La Petit Fleur to use MBellish pieces to accent her gorgeous flowers. Because the bride wanted purple and gold, she used the purple bubble votives around Carra's fabulous hurricane designs and used the Venice piece as one of her three centerpiece groupings. Wow!

Total class at the St. Paul Hotel

I thoroughly enjoyed setting up for the reception of Megan and Ramsey at the St. Paul Hotel on July 25th. Megan, along with the help of her florist Molly, did an amazing job selecting three different centerpieces to decorate the intimate ballroom. She used one floral centerpiece in a gold square vase, the Venice centerpiece (with the brushed gold stand), and the Sausalito centerpiece (which has a soft gold rim and ivory mosaic) accented by pink orchids . These three pieces coordinated together beautifully and made each table warm, interesting, and stunning. Check out these amazing photographs by Studio 188. I'm so grateful to Erica at Studio 188 for sharing these beautiful pictures!

Classic Beauty

Crystal and Andrew wed on a particularly rainy June day in Minnesota, but their beauty and happiness shined through in these amazing pictures by Eliesa of Photogen Inc. Their wedding had such a lovely, vintage feel, which is why Crystal selected the Venice for her centerpieces. Here are a few awesome pictures Eliesa generously shared from the reception at Bayview Event Center.

More lovely pictures of the Venice

Today I received some more lovely pictures of the Venice centerpiece taken by Kelly at Agape Moments. Thank you for sharing these Kelly. They were taken at the July wedding of one of my clients, Ericka, which was at Stonebrooke Golf Club in Shakopee.

Gorgeous photo of the Venice centerpiece

Josh Hackney, of Josh Hackney Photography, was kind enough to recently share this gorgeous picture he took of the Venice centerpiece. He was the photographer at Donna and Rob's wedding last October at the Minnesota Valley Country Club. Thank you, Josh - beautiful!
