Recently I was lucky enough to collaborate with a team of some of my favorite Minneapolis wedding vendors to execute a gorgeous styled shoot at Abella. Abella Weddings and Events is a new Minneapolis wedding venue located just outside of the Twin Cities in Chisago City, MN. This modern white barn wedding venue with floor to ceiling windows was the perfect space to execute our vision of a timeless wedding with modern twists.
A dream team of vendors designed the most beautiful day. The team included Dani from Studio Flurette who created a beautiful bouquet, centerpieces and a modern ceremony floral arch. Jacqueline with Collected & Co. designed an impeccable tablescape with muted blush and tan tones that paired perfectly with the floral centerpieces and dark brentwood chairs. Paper goods, including customized menus and an invitation suite was designed by Jill Elaine Designs. I loved how all the designers worked together to create a seamless design aesthetic for the shoot. Scroll through and enjoy the gorgeous day. See the full list of generous vendors at the bottom of this post.
