Megan and Charlie celebrated their love with a most fabulous Scandinavian-inspired wedding at Paikka<\/a> in St. Paul, Minnesota! We must say, these two looked effortlessly cool with Megan wearing an eclectic, whimsical Mara Hoffman<\/a> dress and Charlie dressed in a classic black and white getup from Suit Supply<\/a>. We’re especially in love with the details of this day that planner Laine Palm Designs<\/a> creatively pulled together. Everything was the perfect mix between elegant and fun — from the marigold bouquet and every arrangement Apricot Floral<\/a> beautifully designed to the cat figurine cake toppers (yes, they’re incredible!). If you’re one who falls in love with intimate weddings and good vibes, we can’t wait for you to see how oh-so-talented Sarah Ascanio Photography<\/a> captured these lovebirds’ most special day at Paikka!<\/p>\n

I have a deep appreciation for small businesses and designers, having worked closely with them for many years. I’ve since moved to the furniture world, but loved picking out a wedding look. I knew I wanted to find pieces that I could wear again. My mom gifted me the most elegant double pearl earrings from Sophie Buhai. I will treasure these forever. For my dress, I chose the Bette Dress by Mara Hoffman. I wanted dramatic sleeves, and this dress had that. Also, the cotton \/ linen fabric was so easy for an August wedding. My shoes are the Vitta Sandals by the impeccable Mari Giudicelli.<\/em><\/p>\n

We moved from Minneapolis to Los Angeles, two years ago. It was a long trip, caravanning with our friends, two cars filled to the brim with two cats and several house plants. We knew when we got engaged that we wanted to include our friends and family in the celebration and chose to have it back home in the Midwest, for this reason. We’re pretty untraditional – our dream was for a wedding that felt like a dinner party, with good food, lots of wine and shared memories.<\/em><\/p>\n
