Real Weddings: Matt + Jill

I love winter. It’s such a magical season… when fresh snow blankets the ground there is a peace about the world.  Minneapolis certainly sees its fair share of snow, which makes it a perfect setting for a classic winter wedding.  Matt and Jill’s wedding, captured by the lovely Laura Ivanova, is one of those weddings.  The portraits in the snow make my heart melt.

Jill chose to accompany her San Patrick gown with her grandmother’s vintage stole and elbow-length gloves.

Classic navy bridesmaids dresses and pocket squares for the men completed the bridal party look.

The Christos Union Depot is such a gorgeous space.  Yellow centerpieces and brushed gold chargers were the perfect complement to the gold tones of the ballroom.
