Pro Tip ✨ You DO NOT have to decorate every corner of your venue.
Wait.. what? 😮
You heard me. Allocate your vision and your budget to the areas that are the MOST important to you.
That’s all… carry on.

QUESTION of the day: Do you need to have a first dance at your wedding? And if you do, what does it signify? And if you don’t, what can you replace it with? 🤔❓❓
✨ Having a first dance at a wedding is traditional but not required. The first dance typically signifies the couple’s unity and the start of their married life together.
✨ However, if the idea of a first dance gives you anxiety or the heebie geebies, there are plenty of alternatives:
1. First Song Performance: 🎤 You could perform a song together (sing or play an instrument if that’s your thing)
2. Group Dance 💃🏽 🕺: Invite your bridal party or all the guests onto the dance floor.
3. A Romantic Toast 🥂: Replace the dance with heartfelt speech or a toast to one another.
4. Interactive Activity 🍾: Kick off the reception with something interactive like a champagne tower pour.
Ultimately, the choice depends on what reflects your style as a couple.

To repurpose or not to repurpose… that is the question 🤔
Y’all we have seen it or (oops) done it when it comes to repurposing florals from the ceremony to the reception.
We are aware of the PROS, right?
•cost effective
•cohesive look throughout
•minimizes waste
But… what about the ADVANTAGES of NOT repurposing? Choosing not to repurpose floral arrangements from the ceremony to the reception has several advantages:
(Florist friends feel free to chime in here )
✨Customized Decor for Each Setting:
You can create distinct atmospheres for the ceremony and reception, allowing for more creative expression and differentiation between the two parts of the event.
✨Seamless Transition: Not repurposing flowers avoids the logistical challenges and potential delays of moving arrangements.
✨Preservation of Arrangements: Floral arrangements remain intact and in their optimal condition. Some arrangements may not be easily repurposed, such as large installations or pieces that are designed specifically for a particular location or setting.

Feeling INCREDIBLY blessed ✨ I cannot say it enough, the people in this industry are amazing, beautiful and talented. I saw some faces I haven’t seen in awhile so my heart is full. I gave tons of hugs to those that continue to kill it and do outstanding things. I cheered for all those who won last night. I’m immensely grateful to be a part of a collective group of people and individuals that keep showing up for this industry and for Minnesota. Love you all!
We cannot get through this life on our own. We need a village, a squad, a community. People that believe in us, will grow with us, people that will listen to your crazy and May even participate in it if it’s crazy enough. Thank you to my people. You know who you are and I appreciate you.

One of my absolute favorite designs. I wanted to create an intimate atmosphere for an awards gala. Sometimes you need to bring the ceiling down to fill the space. That’s exactly what I wanted to do here and brought in my favorite pros and .designfloral to help me make it happen.
If you think about it, a disco ball is made up of hundreds of tiny broken pieces glued together to make one shiny masterpiece. Take your pieces, put them back together and shine. ✨
Happy ❤️ Day! Don’t forget to love yourself first.

Don’t leave this important detail out when planning your event! ❗️❗️That’s right… the napkin fold. Why is the napkin fold important? 🤔 The napkin fold sets the tone for your table as well as act as a placeholder for your menu and place cards. Do this BEFORE your final catering meeting! 👇🏽👇🏽 Sit down with your stationery designer and decide how you’re going to display your menu: inside, on top of, or behind your napkin. That should complement the look and the feel of your tablescape. #WeddingPlanningTips #MinneapolisWeddingPlanner #Tablescape #NapkinFold #DestinationWeddingPlanner #WeddingDesigner #minnesotaweddingdesigner #designtips #tipsandtricks #minneapolisweddingdesigner #menu #placecards

Design trends - what’s new?? In this ever changing world of new technology, drones and AI… how do we keep our designs feeling fresh and interesting without turning them entirely digital? Here are some ideas 👇🏽👇🏽 ✨Focus on creating experiential installations using natural materials like wood, plants, and textiles. ✨Consider incorporating elements of sustainability by using recycled or upcycled materials. ✨Experiment with unconventional layouts and seating arrangements to encourage social interaction and engagement. ✨Additionally, you could incorporate sensory elements like scent, sound, and touch to enhance the overall experience. #EventDesign #EventDesignTrends #Trends2024 #ImmersiveExperiences #Non-Digital #EvokeTheSenses #EventDesigner #weddingdesigner #EvokeEmotions #EventExperiences #EventPlanner #designtrends The photos used in this reel are for inspirational purposes only.

A custom branded window installation for @my.mllw lounge at the @hausofsonder_ event this weekend. What- A-Project!! This installation consisted of measuring out 96 different windows, designing within those parameters and cutting precision to create a completed design reflecting the MLLW brand once everything was installed. A challenging and tedious project that turned out beautiful and beyond expectations. #custominstall #brandidentity #eventdesigner #eventdesign #branding #minneapolisevents #hausofsonder #vinyl #vinylinstallation #craftmanship #designer #branddesign

“Oh! I’ve always wanted to be an event planner” they say. There’s so much more than the pretty pictures portray. You need to have compassion, be able to think on your feet, be able to provide service, work long hours, be creative, stay organized, able to see the prevention of an issue before it occurs, you need to know problem-solving, and be prepared to work with people on one of the most important occasions of their life. You need to be able to get down the trenches or up on a lift or work until 2 AM. You need a special piece of you to do this job or at least to do it well. #EventPlanner #WeddingPlanner #MinnesotaWeddingPlanner #MinneapolisEventPlanner #EventDesigner #Work #Service #WomenOwnedBusiness #BlackOwnedBusiness #realfacts

Want your business to be the top-listed Event Planning Service?
8 years ago, I planned my own wedding. I researched all the vendors, made all the decisions, created custom stationery, coordinated the rehearsal and even did all of the day-of set up.
As much as I loved the idea of being in control of all the details, I lost the one thing that was the most important… Being the bride.
I turned into the bridezilla I never wanted to be. Not because the reception space had to be at a perfect 73 degrees (come on now, that’s a little much). It was because I was so stressed out trying to put together one of the most important days of my life that I was fighting with family and friends for not helping (it wasn’t their fault or their wedding), I didn’t eat or sleep much because I wanted everything to go as planned and when it came to the actual day of the wedding, I did the set-up, tear down, answering vendor questions and cuing the music. I lost the ability to be the bride because I was too busy trying to be the planner.
If I knew now, what I knew then, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to invest in a planner or coordinator so I could get my moment back. You only get one day—one shot, one first look, one I do and one moment. Don’t let it pass you by because you decided to save money instead of saving your day. There is no rush to the alter. Taking the time to plan it right, with the proper help and all the little details that speak truly to who you are as a couple is how you have to most memorable day of your life. Don’t cut corners because of budget. Instead of saying I can’t afford it, ask yourself how can I afford it?
I wanted to be that source of knowledge for those couples. A reliable and trusted resource that could ease the stresses of planning while also giving them the feeling that someone on the inside had their back.
Our mission is to provide value and planning ease to our couples to ensure their event is memorable and enjoyable. We offer tailored full service planning, design + styling, and wedding coordination to Minnesota couples + beyond.
