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.

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.

TheKnot.com Event at 413 on Wacouta

On Wednesday, September 15th I had a ton of fun attending, and helping decorate, theknot.com networking event at 413 on Wacouta in St. Paul. My wonderful and talented friend Carra of La Petit Fleur kindly asked me to help contribute some rentals to go along with her flowers. I was completely impressed by what Carra and the other vendors put together! 413 on Wacouta was a charming and impressive space which can host both your ceremony and reception. Lynn, the owner, was so sweet, she makes the space even more lovely.

Here are some pictures from the event. The decorations you see are the Manhattan and beaded votives from MBellish, gorgeous florals from La Petit Fleur, and super cool ice sculptures from Metro Ice.

Make it Grand!

MBellish is excited to be part of a new vendor marketplace called Make it Grand! It's a darling space on Grand Avenue, across from Kowalski's and a block down from The Wedding Shoppe.

Make it Grand is a one stop shop for people when they are looking to plan an event, with a community of event and wedding professionals offered in one location. MBellish has shelf space in the marketplace where we're displaying some of our centerpieces.

The grand opening of Make it Grand is August 15th from noon - 4pm. I would love to see you there!
