Featured Wedding: April 2015

Eric & Alexis's wedding day was just gorgeous - gorgeous couple, gorgeous weather, gorgeous flowers, gorgeous everything!

They primped and prepped at Duluth's stately Cotton Mansion. The obvious choice for makeup artistry? Derick Cich. Duh ;) Side note: would you get a load of the veil? Whoa! 

Alexis's bouquet consisted of echeveria, air plants, Dutch hydrangea, silver brunia, & eucalyptus.

Eric's boutonniere featured echeveria, bear grass, and silver brunia. The teal ribbon wrap really made it pop!

The actual wedding was held at Clyde Iron Works, a former manufacturing plant turned warm industrial venue and restaurant in Duluth's Lincoln Park neighborhood. Each bridesmaid carried a simple, elegant bouquet of gypsophila. Fun fact: Alexis made each of the bridesmaid's dresses by hand. How cool is that?!?

Eric and Alexis chose (wisely!) Mad Chicken Studio to capture their big day. We think all of the lovely images speak for themselves! Want even more pictures? Check out the awesome blog post on Mad Chicken Studio's website. Still didn't get enough? Don't miss Eric and Alexis's feature on The Knot!

Fashion Friday: April 2015

The Lake Superior Barn was the PERFECT place to have a winter-inspired styled shoot!

The bridal bouquet featured protea, white hydrangea, yarrow, silver brunia, tulips, lace fern, & plumosa - what a stunner!

Derick Cich Makeup Artistry was on hand to beautify. 

We loved this refreshing take on a holiday-centric tablescape!

Last but certainly not least, Erin Johnson Photography beautifully captured the day!

Fashion Friday: February 2015

When Alyson Newquist of The Bash Collective and Juliane James Place contacted us about doing a Duluth-themed shoot and asked if we had a couple in mind, we unanimously exclaimed SARA LEE & ALLYSON! 

This gorgeous & crazy-in-love pair made the most inspirational models. It was also the perfect way to celebrate the passage of the same-sex marriage amendment in Minnesota, which we are all about here at Saffron & Grey! BONUS - There was also a yurt, beer, & the couple’s stunningly beautiful canine, Monet.

Materials Utilized: Wheat, Hops {from the couple’s own garden!}, Ornamental Eggplant, Cafe Au Lait Dahlias, Coffee Break Roses, Numerous Ferns, & Various Foliages
