{Wedding Details} Wedding Party

May 30, 2014 By Holly 1 Comment Filed Under: Celebrate, DIY Wedding, Weddings

One of the biggest ‘challenges’ of planning was my desire for color, while my husband would wanted everything to be classic (as in no polka dots). My favorite compromise was the bridal party. I choose simple navy bridesmaid dresses from Target (Target sells bridesmaid dresses now!) and let them pick their own style as long as they were all navy. Then they each got to choose their own color heel, and I ordered bouquets to match. I am not much of a flower person and the only direction I gave our florist was asking to create a bouquet in each color, with mine being white with all the other colors. Luckily she has great taste, and the flowers turned out fabulous. It was a beautiful rainbow of color (while still remaining somewhat classy!)

Minneapolis Real Wedding | Bridesmaids wore navy dresses from Target with different color shoes, all matching their bouquets. Red, salmon, yellow, kate spade green, teal, purple, and pink.

To tie in with the bridesmaids, the groomsmen wore charcoal suite with navy gingham shirts and navy ties. Ed had a white shirt with a navy gingham tie, which worked nicely with my white (duh) dress.

Welcome to northern Minnesota, circa 1995. My Grandpa built me a dollhouse for my 5th birthday, and 30 years later, I gave it back to him. For the first six months of the pandemic I transformed the tiny house into a replica of my grandparent’s house circa 1995, re-creating some of my favorite memories of holidays and summers gathered together as a family at their Minnesota lake home. The remodel started when my family got stuck at my parents during the stay-at-home orders, and when it looked like we would be there a while, I dusted off the old dollhouse to create something new. The original plan was to make it look more modern. Then, I got the idea to make it a miniature version of my favorite place on earth. Although it only stands 3 feet tall, it is full of tiny details and some of my favorite childhood memories. #11cupcakes #artistherapy #dollhouseminiatures #dollhouseminiature #dollhousetherapy #dollhousetour #miniatures #covidprojects #covidproject @mforminiatures

She insisted on dressing up like Reba McEntire, and thanks to her new love of country music I now know all the words to ‘Consider Me Gone’. Happy Halloween from the Queen of Country Music and her dinosaur sidekick. 🎃🎤🦖
