First Blush Wedding: Heidi and Mike

We were on a boat!

I can't begin to say how much fun I had with this couple. Heidi is a brilliant photographer, loving mother, and a dear friend of mine. Mike, is her perfect match. They blend so wonderfully together.

I had the honor to officiate their ceremony aboard the Betsy Northrup as we cruised along the Mississippi River. The ceremony took place on July 3, 2009. The grand finale was a beautiful display of fireworks as we docked for the night.

Thank you, Heidi and Mike. It was an honor!

This is Iris, Heidi's fabulous friend. She has a killer personality, and the jazziest look I've seen in a while.

Can you see the fun in this couple?!

My heart's all a flutter!! Flutter Boutique

Flutter Boutique in Minneapolis is a great spot for some very posh dresses your bridesmaids will be swooning over. The season is coming upon us for these dresses to be selected. I definitely hope that brides out there get a chance to check out this little Metro gem!!

I have been a constant fan of Lela Rose since I started planning my own wedding about two years ago. I loved her attention to detail and her ultra femme styling. She has a fantastic line of bridesmaid dresses to get a chic bridal party. Because, hey, those pictures last forever! ;)

You can find her line at Flutter as well as Jenny Yoo, Simple Silhouettes, Melissa Sweet, and several others.

Some of my favorite styles: (all photos from flutterboutique.com)

Sweet Deal: Cupcakes from Cupcake

The cupcake trend is picking up with high speed. With a variety of flavors and the perfect serving size, they offer a great alternative to the almond raspberry three tiered standard dessert.

Recently at a wedding, I was fortunate to try two very tasty cupcakes in lieu of wedding cake. The bride ordered hers from Cupcake in Minneapolis on University. Last week, in celebration of my birthday as well as a good friend, I stopped to try a few more in their selection.

They serve a variety of 70 cupcakes with miniature sizes available. The names are sure to charm your guests. I bought and tried a Claire Huxtable, Carol Brady, and Coney Island. Definitely tasty. Other fun names include Paris Hilton, as well as I Love Lucy.

If you are shopping for a wedding cake alternative, I highly suggest Cupcake bakery.

Bon Appetit!
