Still riding the high from this absolutely beautiful wedding day! ✨ From the sweetest couple to the most stunning setting, everything came together just right — and I have an incredible team of vendors to thank for that.

It’s always magic when everyone shows up with heart, hustle, and talent. So much gratitude for each and every one of you who helped bring this day to life. 💫

𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝘆! 💃🕺
The dance floor is where joy takes over — where nerves melt, heels come off, and the real celebration begins. From the first dance to the last song, there’s nothing like it. ❤️

One of my favorite parts of coordinating weddings is seeing these moments unfold: the quiet emotion of a parent dance, the fun of a group routine, or the couple who just can’t stop smiling.

✨ What’s your favorite wedding dance? First dance? Father-daughter? Mother-son? The one where everyone goes wild to “Shout”? Or maybe the [infamous to MN] St. John's Piano Man dance at the end of the night 🫣?

Lately, I’ve been getting an influx of questions about the pros and cons of backyard weddings vs. traditional venues, so I put together this handy comparison guide to help you decide!
No matter which setting you choose, a wedding coordinator/planner can make all the difference—handling logistics, vendors, timelines, and last-minute surprises so you can truly enjoy your day. 💕

✨ 2025 Wedding Trends ✨

Love is evolving, and so is the way we celebrate it! From personalized experiences to sustainable choices, 2025 weddings are all about authenticity and meaning. Here’s a sneak peek at the trends we’re seeing and loving:

🌿 Eco-Chic Weddings – Sustainable decor, farm to table and plant-based menus, and zero-waste practices are the way forward for couples who want to honor both love and the planet. 🌎

🎨 Bold Color Palettes – Say goodbye to traditional pastels and hello to vibrant hues! Think jewel tones, rich textures, and bold contrasts for a wedding that’s as unique as you are. 💖💙💛

📜 Personalized Ceremonies – More couples are opting for personalized vows (but many are choosing to read them privately!) and ceremonies that reflect their unique love stories. And UNPLUGGED ceremonies are definitely in. Every detail matters, from the music to the readings. 📝💕

💍 Non-traditional Engagement Rings – Vintage, custom, and colorful gemstones are replacing the traditional diamond in 2025—making engagement rings as unique as the couple! 💎

📹📸 Film Photography & Extra First Looks. First looks aren't just for the newlyweds these days... we're seeing first looks with moms, dads, and besties, too! 🫶

What are some trends you are seeing and/or incorporating into your wedding?
