317 on Rice Park // Beckie & Jacy
Happy anniversary, Beckie + Jacy! To celebrate these past three years, we're taking you back in time to relive this chic, gatsby-esque celebration!
Beckie + Jacy met in college choir years ago in Iowa, and just three years after their senior year, Jacy proposed to his best friend. These two hit every stylish note when planning their perfect wedding. Beckie always dreamed of having a Gatsby-inspired reception, and with its vintage charm and wood paneling, 317 on Rice in St. Paul turned out to be the perfect venue.
From the gorgeous linens and feathered centerpieces to their elegant cake and invitation suite, their 1920's inspiration was paired with modern aesthetics to make their vision a reality. As wine enthusiasts, Jacy and Beckie opted for a wine ceremony over the traditional unity candle. Parents each contributed a bottle of wine and a note to a sealed box for the couple to enjoy on future anniversaries {like today!}. We love working with creative couple's like Beckie and Jacy to create the wedding they've been dreaming of! To see more of this incredible wedding, head over to their gallery or to Style Me Pretty!

Aria // Kaylee & Ryan
We can't believe it's already been four years since Kaylee + Ryan's gorgeous wedding! We're reposting their wedding blog in honor of their anniversary and we've included new details from today's reposted Minneapolis St. Paul Weddings magazine blog!
Kaylee and Ryan began their story at Cretin-Derham Hall through their shared love for hockey. As Kaylee told MInneapolis St. Paul Weddings magazine, "We'd always see each other around the rink, and we ended up hanging out and skating with each other outside of the rink too."
After high school their hockey careers lead them into a long-distance relationship, with Ryan playing Division 1 hockey at University of Wisconsin-Madison and Kaylee playing at Bemidji State University {later transferring to University of St. Thomas}. In 2010, hockey took Ryan to New York after signing to play with the New York Rangers, but two years later Kaylee joined him there.
Kaylee and Ryan knew their dream wedding would hold true to their Minnesota roots and include Irish and Urban New York touches. Their ceremony was held at St. Kate's and they continued the celebration at Aria with an Irish whiskey bar, a live band + DJ, and late-night snacks from Davanni's. They wanted their big day to be relaxed, laid-back and fun! Their reception displayed a gorgeous natural palette that played off silver and gold details. See the images from their gorgeous rustic-meets-glam wedding!
