Minneapolis Wedding by Laura Ivanova Photography + A Milestone Paper Co.
We positively get giddy over pretty paper around here and A Milestone Paper Co. brings us to the brink of delirium with their gleeful designs! You can’t go wrong with a sweet palette, die-cut swirls and perfect branding throughout your wedding. I love when a designer can create a vibe right from the moment the invitations are sent out all the way to the end of the party! And this wedding by Laura Ivanova Photography has a modern and merry vibe written all over it! Check out the full gallery for even more inspiration!

The wedding is full of tastefully done, vibrant contrast! It was a lively mix of traditional, formal and modern fun. Kristi’s gorgeous, elegant formal hair and makeup choices are perfect with and her modern, fun dress. The reception venue is full of old elegance, but has been updated with gorgeous touches like the large barrel shade chandeliers. Crystal details and largely white floral arrangements with touches of lime green captured the traditional elegance, and looked lovely with teal linens and green chair sashes.
Although the ceremony, a full catholic mass, was traditional right down to the bag piper, Kristi and Kevin were sure to pack plenty of fun into the day as well. They burned CDs with their favorite songs for their guests and mailed them shortly before the wedding in a CD mailer with a custom designed label to coordinate with the invitations, with a note saying “We’ll see you on the dance floor”. They incorporated huge white balloons into their photos, and they even had teal martinis for their guests.
For their paper goods we created a custom monogram and had it laser cut out of white metallic cardstock to create a pocket into which the invitation, RSVP card and a map and directions card were slipped. The invitation was mailed in a green metallic envelope and sealed with a large circular seal repeating the motif from the laser cut. The program covers were also adorned with the laser cut image on teal stock and tied with a white satin bow. The graphic, circular motif was repeated on the menus and place cards.
So much thought, style and love went into this day!

Thank you to Style Me Pretty for featuring this wedding! It was so fun to work on! @jumbolove and @Tina Kristi (the bride) may jump on here too, but I'm 99% sure she got the frames and TJMaxx. She used a combination of two different sizes.

Were the bridesmaid dress hangers homemade or purchased somewhere.... LOVE THEM and would love to know where they are from :)

Hello! We purchased the frames from TJMAXX and then spray painted them white. And about the hangers -- we found plain wooden hangers and then stenciled each bridesmaids name on them ourselves. A quick and easy project!

I am Kristi's sister and also worked with Sarah from A Milestone Paper Co. for my wedding. She was absolutely wonderful to work with. She really supported all of us throughout the creative process while exploring our own styles and visions. Her patience was a virtue, and her vision was spot on. She really made the whole experience spectacular and special!

Hi there,
I have been looking for teal tablecloths everywhere. Would you be will to share where you found them? I am also located in Saint Paul, MN.

@Erin - They are from Sadie's floral. I live in MN and looked into those too awhile ago, even if you don't use them as your florist you can rent them from Sadies. If you live in MN, if not, not sure on that. Good luck!

Where are the huge round balloons from?! I'm trying to find balloons like that for my wedding, and any place to buy those kind would be great to know! :) Thanks!

such beautiful details!! Can you tell me where the bridesmaids' necklaces are from?? That is the exact look I want for my girls
-

Hello -- Thought I would answer some questions a few of you had....
The bridesmaid necklaces are from JCrew. I bought them around August 2010 online.
We purchased the balloons from a local shop in Minneapolis and had them delivered to the church to use as the wedding party exited the church. We brought them on the trolley and used as additional props in our after-wedding pictures.
Teal tableclothes -- we rented all of our linens from Linen Effects in Minneapolis, MN.
CD Cases -- we worked with Sarah from A Milestone Paper Co. I highly recommend her!!
I hope this helps everyone!! Good luck in your planning.

Can you tell me the designer for the bridesmaid dresses? It says Vineyard by Priscilla of Boston - but Vineyard appears to be a bridal gown collection. I LOVE those dresses and want them!
