A staircase ceremony and live band reception at this Varsity Theater wedding in Minneapolis

Andria and Donna had a theater wedding with TWO killer venues in Minneapolis. They started out with a staircase ceremony(!) at the new LRx Loring and Pharmacy Bar. Then they headed to party at their reception at Varsity Theater, a popular Minneapolis concert venue.

They had a live band (Fred Savage and the Unbeatables!), lights everywhere, and their dessert bar was drool-worthy.

This edgy Neon Demon wedding inspiration is a fashion WIN

When I saw this edgy, Neon Demon wedding inspiration shoot, I couldn’t stop digging on the purple undercut, the glittery gold and black dresses, and the ahhhh-mazing venue that is The Camby in Phoenix. I just knew that someone was going to be inspired to find themselves taking equally killer photos in these hallways.

Don’t miss the ’80s-inspired aesthetic and midcentury modern details…

Travel back to the future after seeing this bitchin’ 1980s-themed wedding

Ashley and Wendy had a 1980s-themed wedding to end all retro weddings. We’re talking cassette tape centerpieces, boom boxes, hair band photos (with lyrics!), retro-fabulous ’80s wear, and major dance floor shenanigans. If we could channel the soundtrack to this wedding, I think we’d be rocking out HARD. These ladies love the eighties and we love them.

Are you ready to take a Delorean back in time to 1985 where clearly this wedding took place?

Camp Evermore: an ethereal autumnal wedding adventure

Camp Evermore: an ethereal autumnal wedding adventure

From our initial planning, we had two big goals: a FUN wedding that demonstrated that LOVE is Love. We're from the Midwest and queer weddings are not the norm for our families, but we knew we wanted to plan an experience that was memorable and also helped normalize the beauty of all love. These two goals guided every detail of our autumnal wedding adventure planning.
