Blush and Rose Northern Minnesota Wedding at Grand View Lodge

November 17, 2019 | brooke

Ariel and Josh’s wedding at Grand View Lodge was the perfect mix of romance and edge! Beauty Brilliance Events and Design did a phenomenal job planning this day down to the last little detail — especially the dramatic reception decor and stunning, moody florals FluidBloom created. The couple looked just as breathtaking with Ariel dressed in an intricate Milla Nova wedding dress and Josh in Generation Tux. We’re feeling thankful photographer Alexandra Wallace was there to capture every detail, including a sweet, tear-filled first look as Ariel walked down the aisle. Scroll on for so many sweet moments and more!

The Couple:

Ariel & Josh

The Wedding:

Grand View Lodge, Nisswa, Minnesota

My dress by Milla Nova was my diva moment! After trying on a ton of dresses in a San Diego shopping trip with my girlfriends, I still could not decide. Knowing the styles that had looked great on me, I shopped online and finally found the prefect dress on Instagram. However it was last year’s model and there was only one left in my size in a showroom in Chicago. I had it shipped to their Las Vegas showroom and then flew to Vegas to try it on! Luckily it was THE dress!

Wedding planning advice from the bride: Be in planning mode until the festivities start. Then let go and enjoy! The night of the rehearsal dinner I was rushing around in planning mode when I realized, oh the party is here! Time to stop planning and be present. It worked out wonderfully. I was able to enjoy everything and ignore the hiccups (the photo booth never arrived). Having a day-of coordinator helped me immensely let go of the details and enjoy our day.

Grand View Lodge is beautiful, has delicious food, and supplies everything on site, so we didn’t have to worry about renting or placing our plates, tables, chairs, etc, but it also affordable considering everything that is provided. A lot of our guests were coming from California so we wanted them to be able to have a weekend experience when they came out for our wedding. Grand View offers a resort-style stay with plenty of activities that offered our guests a taste of Northern Minnesota.

My photographer, florist and stylist came out to Minnesota from California for us! They are so amazing and having vendors I knew, loved and trusted made the day so perfect! It would not have been the same without their amazing talents and hearts!
