Gardens of Castle Rock Wedding :: Northfield, MN

The two shared an APSU history class in high school together and Lizzy became smitten with the red head in her class. Eventually Luke’s friends coaxed Luke to ask Lizzy out and the two have been insepreprateble eight years and counting.

After dating long distance for over 4 years, Luke knew it was time to propose. He brought Lizzy to Stillwater and took her on a gondola ride over the St. Croix River. During the ride, Luke popped the question and Lizzy said yes! The following day Luke surprised Lizzy with an engagement party with all their friends and family.

The long time couple decided to exchange their vows and hold their ceremony at the beautiful Garden’s of Castle Rock in Northfield. Lizzy and her girls got ready in the beautiful bridal suite while Luke and his groomsmen spent the morning golfing and then hanging out. Lizzy’s mother helped her get into her beautiful Elly Bridal dress purchased at Bella Bridal Boutique. Her bridesmaids, all wearing different light blue Azazie gowns, then had a first look at Lizzy. Lizzy also chose to do a first look with the groomsmen, many that were her’s and Luke’s good friends, and then moved on to do a first look with Luke in the beautiful vineyard. LHN Beauty did Lizzy’s hair and Make up, and Linsdey and Hannah at Chapel of M kept the day moving through all the other photos and events of the day. The wedding party was so much fun, and ended hoisting the couple on their shoulders and cherring for the both of them in between dancing and celebrating!

Lizzy and Luke were married under the vines of the Lath House and exchanged ring; Lizzy’s from Helzberg Diamonds and Luke’s wooden ring from Ridgewood Rings. Midwest Sound started the reception off with a great mix of summer songs and Scheel’s Catering provided a tasty meal for all the guests. Friends and family provided bars and cookies for dessert and the floral table arrangements were put together by Something Borrowed Booms.The party got started after toasts and Luke and Lizzy kicked off the dance by pulling guests on the floor and dancing the night away. We headed out for a beautiful golden hour in the fields surrounding the venue and ended at the night at the marquee sign of The Powers from Alphalitps. It was an incredible day and I felt so honored to be a part of it. Luke and Lizzy, I hope your honeymoon in Mexico is amazing, congratulations!
