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.

New candelabra - embellished by Carra!

A gigantic thank you to my talented friend Carra of La Petite Fleur for designing these three different arrangements to showcase the new MBellish candelabra. She went above and beyond and it really shows off both her work and how a simple, elegant piece can be taken over-the-top beautiful for your reception tables!

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.

New Candelabra

A huge thank you to my friend Carra of La Petite Fleur for designing this arrangement for my new candelabra. I love it!

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.
