Green Acres Event Center Wedding:: Calen and Tom

It was St. Patrick’s day and both Calen and Tom were out with friends at The Press, a quaint local bar in St. Cloud.  Both of them had been drug out with friends for the evening and connected after finding similar interests in their love for vacationing on the beach and shooting guns! They quickly began dating and after a few years of dating Tom surprised Calen one night by making her  favorite dinner, homemade lasagna, and proposed after dinner.

After a year of planning their wedding day finally happened.  September weather in the midwest is incredible, warm days with low humidity and cool nights, perfect for gathering around the bonfire for catching up with friends and having s’mores.  After tying the knot at St. Andrew’s Lutheran church in Eden Prairie, Calen and Tom headed back to Green Acres, a quaint event center in Eden Prairie for dinner and dancing.

The unique stationary that Kellyn McNaught from Stells Designs created was paired beautifully with the rings from Riddle’s Jewelry when put together for a flat lay.Friends and family came from miles away to celebrate with the couple. Calen was ravishing in her lace ivory Matthew Christopher gown from Posh Bridal and her American Rag flats from Macy’s were the perfect fit for her ensamble.
Tom and his groomsmen sported navy suits from Macy’s while Courtney Thompson and Caiti Shoutz created a look or Calen where her true beauty shone.Her stunning bridesmaids wore ivory floor length satan gowns from The Wedding Shoppe, while their white and green florals Bridget from Pretty Petals stood out against the dresses.
Sterling catering provided guests with meals of chicken and beef while Buttercream brought in a decatant fudge chocolate cake and cake squares for guest to enjoy.Midwest Sound kept the music going through the evening while guests enjoyed drinks and s’mores on the patio!

Calen and Tom, you are such a kind and caring couple.  It was a gift to spend the day with you and I wish you both joy and happiness as you walk down this new road of marriage together!
