Erin and Nick planned and planned their Minnesota wedding for months, wanting it to be enjoyable for a wide variety of family and friends while keeping things intimate. Once they had hammered out all the details, they sprung their date on the family with a quick trip request for everyone. Amazingly, it worked out perfectly! They had family fly in from Texas, New Mexico, Utah, and Idaho. And between horseback riding excursions for the women, driving a tank for the men (yes, a real army tank) and babysitting coverage for those with children, The four day destination event was a well-oiled machine. And, even when a couple of small things went awry, everyone was calm and willing to shift. (I think celebratory vacations have that affect on people.)
In an effort to simplify her life, and keep her budget reasonable, Erin chose flowers for only herself, Nick, both mothers, and the tables...and all of them out of Baby's breath! The orders were placed, the wholesaler visited, and the construction began.
At the last minute, and while grocery shopping for the entire crew, Erin stumbled upon some tulips and princess lilies (alstromeria) at Costco and couldn't resist. Her bouquet was swapped, and the pinks played beautifully against her vintage tea length 50's find.
Erin chose a few sprigs of baby's breath for her hair and the rest graced the candlelit tables for dinner.
Erin and Nick had some fun in their formal shoot embracing the traditional mansion where the wedding was held and played at 'house' from the turn of the century...very Norman Rockwell!
It was such a great event to be a part of and I'm so glad to have more good vendors in far away places that make destination weddings possible, even for a florist!
Congratulations to Erin and Nick...Play on!
