A few years ago, we had the great honor of being on hand as Emmalee and Michael celebrated their wedding day. They are such a sweet pair with incredible style! When Emmalee’s sister, Alex, announced she was engaged and ready to plan her wedding day, we were delighted to be included once more, especially because her details and team of professionals were spectacular.

Alex and TJ celebrated their Minnesota wedding day in June, and they had stunning weather for every moment. Their days began with time spent getting ready with their bridesmaids and groomsmen, and we loved watching them laugh with their favorite people. As the ceremony’s time neared, Alex put on her wedding dress and shared a wonderful first look with her dad. Then it was time to journey to St John’s Excelsior, so Alex and TJ could exchange their vows in front of their closest family and friends. 

Once married, one of our favorite moments of A+T’s day happened — they boarded a boat with their wedding party, so everyone could journey on the water to the Lafayette Club for their reception. When they arrived, the ballroom was set, and what a sight it was! Neutral centerpieces by Bloomberry lined all of the tables, and the timeless look was accented by plenty of candles. Together everything was stunning, especially as the Lafayette Club’s chandeliers glittered overhead. 

Guests dined on a menu expertly crafted by the Lafayette Club, and Alex and TJ also got to enjoy speeches from their parents and wedding party. We always love listening to the kind words loved ones have to say about our couples! Once the formalities were complete, the dance floor officially opened for the night, and Blue Water Kings Band made sure it stayed full until the soiree came to a close. 

Alex and TJ, we loved working with you and your friends and family, and we also love the photos Ashley Gilded Sparrow so wonderfully captured.
