Semple Mansion Wedding | Laura + Chris
Laura and Chris had an incredibly unique vision for their big day. Between their wedding venues, the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum and The Semple Mansion, and all of the amazing details they had planned, we knew it would be stunning. And we weren’t wrong. Holy smokes, it was beyond OUR wildest dreams. It was truly incredible!
Laura’s DRESS! AH! She rocked it. They also kept with tradition and didn’t have a first look. The emotion on Chris’ face was touching. The Fall leaves were a breathtaking backdrop. And Laura’s floral shawl. Yeah, we spent a lot of time swooning over that!
Intimate (less than 70 guests) and elaborate (in the best way possible), We could share 100 detail photos with you alone, but we tried to reign ourselves in! Their color palette was probably one of our favorite things about the day- because it was tied into every single detail effortless. Then again, we also loved the champagne/toasting table display that doubled as escort cards And who needs a cake table when you already have one at every single table! They were the most amazing centerpieces. So, yeah, guess we take it back. Too many favorites to choose from!
Listen to this song “Yours to Keep” by Jordan Mackampa when you can, it reminds us of this moment!
