A Green Wedding at Gibbs Museum: Meredith and Tom, Part One

Three things stuck out about Meredith and Tom's wedding day: they are head-over-heels for each other, they care deeply for their beloved dog Scout and they care just as much for the environment. It was very important for this couple to have a green wedding, and to create such a wedding successfully takes dedication and creativity. To accomplish this goal, Tom and Meredith rented beautiful plates from Revived Tableware, recycled every last wine and beer bottle from the evening, served a totally organic vegan meal, used reclaimed lumber for decorations and more. This masterful plan created a gorgeous, sophisticated and conscientious event! We can hardly wait to show you more photos from the day.

A NorthEast Minneapolis Wedding: Sarah & Steven, Part Two

Sarah and Steven wanted to share their love of NorthEast Minneapolis with friends and family. They choose to use neighborhood vendors for almost every aspect of their wedding. The flowers were plucked from the NorthEast Farmers Market, tasty vittles were provided by Chowgirls, the post-wedding shindig was held at the PNA hall and the couple's infinitely talented friends decorated, designed, and partook in many aspects of the day.
