Hidden Greens Wedding :: Hastings, MN

Love stories often begin in unexpected places, and for Haley and Ethan, it all started with a simple set-up orchestrated by mutual friends. Flashback to 8th grade when a group of friends, led by her sister Natalie, thought Ethan would be a perfect match for Haley. A Twitter message, a bus ride, and shared moments in the school band later, their love story was in full bloom. Fast forward to September 10th, 2022, when Ethan decided to make their love official.

The setting for Ethan’s proposal was nothing short of magical. A double date with friends turned into a day of sweet indulgence at Thirty Six Café in Saint Paul, relishing Japanese souffle-style pancakes before wandering down Grand Avenue in Saint Paul. Little did Haley know, Ethan had a surprise in store that would forever change their lives. The couple continued their day to Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden. Surrounded by the vibrant colors of nature, amidst yellow wildflowers, Ethan dropped to one knee and asked Haley to be his partner for life. It was a moment of pure joy and love, etched in their hearts forever.

From there, the couple dove into planning their dream wedding. They chose the beautiful Hidden Greens in Hastings for the backdrop of their wedding day full of rolling hills, lush greenery, and blooming flowers to create a romantic atmosphere for their guests. It was a beautiful spring day for the wedding, one with partly cloudy skies and 80 degrees! One of the crucial elements was finding the right team to bring their vision to life. They entrusted Oliver and Grace Studios for planning, ensuring every detail was meticulously crafted by Annie and her team.

For the bridal beauty, Taj Salon and Spa became Haley’s go-to destination. From hair to makeup, they pampered her to radiate on her special day. Cannon River Catering delighted guests with delectable treats, while Florals by Claire added a touch of floral elegance to the venue. Cream of the Cakes crafted a masterpiece that not only looked stunning but tasted divine.

As for the attire, Haley looked dazzling in her gown from Angelique’s Bridal, while her bridesmaids looked stunning in Azazie Steel Blue Dresses. The men’s attire from Knights Chamber in Maple Grove complemented the overall aesthetic perfectly. Even the rings from Wedding Day Diamonds symbolized their eternal commitment as they exchanged them in front of friends and family.

Instant Request kept the dance floor alive, creating unforgettable moments. Lane of Complete Wedding and Events captured every emotion on film, ensuring that Haley and Ethan could relive their wedding day for years to come.
