Timeless Wedding Inspiration

04.2.21

What makes a good design? It doesn’t have to be the latest Instagram trend, it can be something that is timeless. Something you can look at 10 years down the road and say “that was amazing and I wouldn’t change a thing”. That philosophy is exactly what drove the design and vision of this styled shoot.

We wanted something soft, minimal and romantic as we were playing off the brand-new venue, Abella, in Chisago City, Minnesota. A beautiful modern white barn that is a joy to design in with its vaulted ceilings, wall of windows and gorgeous chandeliers; it’s a designer’s dream venue.


A textural bouquet by Studio Fleurette and a romantic soft tablescape with beautiful candles and sparkling glass vases that caught the light pulled everything together. The tablescape beautifully balanced the warm and modern vibe of the day. To do that we used a lush velvet linen from La Tavola, cheesecloth runner, crisp white stoneware, mixed 12 and 18-inch candle tapers and modern dipped flatware provided by Collected & Co. We added dimension by contrasting the lighter colors on the tablescape with the dark wood bentwood chairs. The details of the day would not be complete without a simple, flower-adorned cake by Ink Sweets, the bride’s modern crop-top reception gown by The White Room and the clean, modern invitation suite and menus provided by Jill Elaine Design. The local custom stationery designer used timeless fonts, flowing hand-lettering, subdued tones, handmade paper, sealed with a personalized wax stamp to set the tone for the elegant affair.
