Two friends from our small group married each other in July. I was asked to help with decorating a Minneapolis backyard for the unconventional and intimate ceremony.
I think it turned out great! I love the ideas and supplies that Ashley had dreamed up. I felt like I was on a reality show because I was given supplies, a 4 hour time limit, and loose creative direction. It was so fun!
The reception was in a basement lounge club in Northeast Minneapolis - very chic.
Here's how the decorating turned out. Most of our materials were strips of lace, satin, or sheer fabric.

Isn't St Anthony Main the cutest! I can envision you Eikums enjoying some date nights there......Pracna is Darling's favorite mpls bar, you'll have to ask him about it! Love the posts and updates :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Hannah! I agree about St Anthony Main - cobblestone streets are hard to beat. We had actually just been at Pracna with Darlings and Pats, so it's thanks to them that we were even there! Thanks for reading. :)
