The Grand Historic Event Center – Styled Wedding Shoot

Happy Thursday everyone!

I’m super excited to share a new wedding invitation collection I created for a recent styled wedding shoot I was a part of. The styled shoot took place at the new Grand Historic Event Center in Grand Forks, North Dakota. It’s a beautiful and intimate location in downtown Grand Forks.

The main floor can accommodate up to 200 guests for a seated dinner or up to 250 guests for a cocktail reception. The hardwood floors, exposed brick walls, and fourteen foot ceilings create a perfect location for your event!

Katie Lewis did a fabulous job photographing this shoot. Sadie’s Couture Floral & Event Styling hit it out of the park again with the gorgeous decor, table linens, chairs and floral arrangements. I love working with both of these vendors as they are the best in their fields!!!

Check out some of my favorite shots Katie took below!

The colors for this shoot were navy, gold and white. Clean and crisp with a touch of vintage – I love how everything came together! 🙂

I had fun with the menu design – the unique shape is eye-catching and interesting. 

I love the cutlery, chargers and flatware  – it really pops on the navy table cloth.

I love the floral centerpieces Sadie did, the roses were beautiful and the candle holder adds a touch of modern. The little touches of mercury glass brings all of the metallics together – so pretty!

Papers I used for this shoot: antique gold shimmer, white shimmer card stock with a linen texture, and a deep navy blue card stock.

The fun shape of the menu was also a detail I included on the invitations. I made little monograms printed on antique gold card stock, wrapped with a navy and white twine which were tied around each invitation set. The horizontal lines on the envelopes liners added some interest to the simple white envelope. The white invitations had double backing cards navy and gold for a luxe look. Envelope printing with your return address on back and your guest address on front of your envelopes is always a nice touch and something I offer to every client!

I added the gold stripes to the program as well! 🙂

Our beautiful bride and groom! 🙂 The bride wore a beautiful gown from Très Chic – also located in downtown Grand Forks. This bridal boutique is a must stop if you’re looking for the perfect wedding dress! The tux is also from Très Chic. 

Avant Hair and Skin Care Studio did a fabulous job on the makeup and hair on our beautiful bride.

River City Jewelers provided the beautiful ring, necklace and earrings.

Sarah’s Sweet Boutique did a fantastic job on the cake! Gorgeous! 🙂

Love the diamond and sapphire earrings from River City Jewelers! The perfect “something blue”. 🙂
