Hair by Brittany at Salon Brad

The Venue – The Wilderness Wedding Barn

The Wilderness Wedding Barn is an incredible new venue located in the heart of northern Minnesota. Sue and Jozsef Palavics are the owners of this one of a kind wedding venue! They constructed the impressive century-old barn amongst rows of towering pines. The massive hand-hewn beams, beautiful red weathered siding, and huge barn doors draw you in and create both a beautiful and functional space for your wedding reception. And the barn is not the only space that will wow you at this venue! Sue and Jozsef have literally thought of everything and have poured so much hard work and intentionality into each and every space that they have created. From the bathrooms and getting ready spaces to the romantic Cathedral in the Pines and floral swing, this venue has everything you could dream of for your perfect Northwoods wedding!

The Jewelry – White Bear Jewelers

White Bear Jewelers provided the stunning jewelry for the styled shoot! I have photographed A LOT of rings, but I can tell you that these rings are truly something else, the quality of this diamond was astounding! Oftentimes diamonds will show slight other colors in photographs, but not this one! The clarity is unmatched! Make sure to check out White Bear Jewelers and all that they have to offer from their exquisite jewels to custom design! This small business pays attention to detail in both their products and their service!

Florals – Blue Iris

The gorgeous florals were created by Eileen Harrison, the incredibly talented owner of Blue Iris! Eileen specializing in making unique wedding floral designs and has over twenty-two years of experience in the industry! It was a pleasure to work alongside Eileen as we planned the styled shoot! The tablescape designs and Eileen’s breathtaking florals paired so seamlessly together! Eileen made the stunning compote flower arrangement in the center of the head table! She also created a spray of eucalyptus and our bride’s dreamy bouquet! When you are ready to start thinking about your florals for your wedding, make sure to check in with Eileen! She can create that jaw-dropping bouquet you pinned on Pinterest last week!

Styling & Design – The White Brick Company

All of the styling for the shoot was done by Britta Kruse from The White Brick Company! Britta paired soft colors in peach and cream with vibrant fuschias, cranberry, and gold! This neutral color palette with a pop made for the most gorgeous tablescape. It was both romantic and fun and had us all swooning over Britta’s capability to create such a stunning atmosphere! The delicious dessert table was also styled by Britta. The variety of serving platters and perfectly placed eucalyptus and fresh fruit made everything come together so perfectly. Britta also styled an incredibly adorable and scrumptious charcuterie plate at The Bin Bar. Make sure you don’t miss those photos at the end of the post!

It goes without saying that Britta is one of a kind! She is a true visionary and will make your wedding dreams a reality!

Britta will make sure that every detail is perfected and that you are able to enjoy your day with the ones you love!

Our Lovely Models – Chad & Taylor Anderson

When I began planning this styled shoot I knew just who to ask to be our models! Chad and Taylor were married last August on the property of The Wilderness Wedding Barn. The barn was only in its early stages of being set up at this time and was not open for weddings just yet. But Taylor and Chad still enjoyed the grounds around the barn and took several of their wedding photos here. Taylor is obviously insanely gorgeous and she and Chad make the most adorable couple! The styled shoot made the perfect excuse to jump back in time and relive their wedding day!

Photography – Stephanie Holsman Photography

All of the photography done for the shoot was done by me! It was such an honor and a joy to photograph this beautiful new venue and to work alongside so many other talented professionals! I have photographed many things, but weddings have always been my favorite! There is something so special about being the one to document the best day of someone’s life together! I have been a photographer for 4 years and I specialize in wedding and senior photography!

Thank you so much for viewing our styled shoot! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! And don’t forget to check out all of the incredible vendors that took part in it!
