The next wedding in our Unique Weddings Week series was shot by the team at Red Ribbon Studio this past summer in Minneapolis. I love the combination of tradition and modern, sweet and incredibly sophisticated. The bold, vibrant colors tell me so much about this beautiful couple and it really seems like a wedding that would be so much fun to attend…
A little note from Maribeth at Red Ribbon Studio…
A rainy day for a wedding, but the rain didn’t dampen the energy of this fun wedding with great modern style. Under the hip style guidance of MiMi Design (who found those great umbrellas), Kristin & Justin executed a modern look with bright pinks and oranges carried throughout the day. They used many great vendors including Wisteria Design for flowers and Gateaux for their cake.
They also had a vintage photo booth for guests to enjoy and paste photos into their guest book.Their escort and place cards were calligraphed by an amazing Minnesota talent, Crystal Kluge. Inside each escort card envelope was a lottery scratch ticket.
As guests left for the night, they were treated to chocolate bars wrapped in a thank you message…so chic!

Just the perfect one for a wedding blog your expressions are quite natural and lively. But one thing if you have added some more information about the custom of the exotic wedding then it would have been a master piece among the wedding blogs. Anyway you have written quite good keep blogging.
