When Amanda and Bret <\/span>got engaged<\/span><\/a> in January of 2020, they had no idea that a <\/span>global pandemic<\/span><\/a> would stop them from tying the knot on New Year’s Eve later that year. Much like many other couples all over the world, the couple was forced to postpone their wedding. Luckily, they didn’t have to give up their dream of having an NYE celebration.<\/span><\/p>\n

With the help of planner <\/span>This Love Weddings<\/span><\/a>, the two said “I do” hours in a <\/span>ceremony<\/span><\/a> complete with candles and <\/span>cafe lights<\/span><\/a> galore, <\/span>hanging florals and greenery<\/span><\/a>, and small winter touches like wreaths and Christmas trees. The reception at <\/span>The Varsity Theater<\/span><\/a> that followed featured art deco <\/span>signage<\/span><\/a>, faux snow, and gilded gold details. Once the clock struck midnight, the newlyweds and all of their friends and family gathered in a circle to sing “Auld Lang Syne” and kick-off 2022 in one of the most memorable ways possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

From the emotional <\/span>first look<\/span><\/a> to the snowy portraits in the heart of a Minnesota storm, Junebug member <\/span>Adrian Steinbach<\/span><\/a> did an amazing job of capturing all of the details of this vintage-inspired affair. Keep scrolling to take a step back in time and get inspired for your very own NYE nuptials. <\/span><\/p>\n

Incorporating The Season Into Their Unique New Year’s Eve Wedding<\/span><\/h2>\n
We wanted to run with the New Year’s vibe in terms of the look and experience of the wedding, but we also wanted to embrace the cold, winter date of the wedding (it was well below freezing and lightly snowing on the day itself). Some choices were hence pretty straightforward. We used black, white, and gold as the general <\/span>color scheme<\/span><\/a> and leaned into a slightly art-deco design for our poster and printed materials. Bret and his groomsmen wore <\/span>black suits<\/span><\/a> to match the scheme. I wore a classic lace <\/span>A-line dress<\/span><\/a>, and my <\/span>bridesmaids<\/span><\/a> wore black dresses. A bit of a happy coincidence–our guests stayed a very art deco hotel downtown–the Foshay Tower<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Wedding Planning Advice From The Couple<\/span><\/h2>\n
In <\/span>planning<\/span><\/a>, we encourage others to embrace adaptability. The wedding planning market (especially with <\/span>venues<\/span><\/a> and dates) can be very difficult to navigate. It’s this strange paradox of having so many choices and–after making a selection–feeling locked in and committed to that choice. Just know that all will be fine if a particular element doesn’t work out. You’ll walk away from your wedding, valuing the shared time you have with your partner, family, and friends. All the particulars of the event are very secondary to that happiness.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

How They Chose The Varsity As Their Venue<\/span><\/h2>\n
Before we knew what we wanted, we knew what we <\/span>didn’t<\/span><\/i> want. We sought to avoid country clubs and event spaces, namely those somewhat pre-fab spaces clearly designed for expensive, Instagram-y weddings. That’s not to say <\/span>these venues<\/span><\/a> cannot be perfect for couples. We just wanted a unique space. <\/span>The Varsity Theater<\/span><\/a>, once we saw it was available, was the first thing we booked. It was relatively affordable, strange and beautiful, fit for a live band, apt for an open and well-stocked bar, and historically interesting. Bret is a film studies professor, so he was in love with the venue’s history as a movie theater and its amazing marquee.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
