Sophisticated Wedding on The Shore of Lake Minnetonka Featuring an Anne Barge Wedding Dress

Ellie made the trip from Chicago to visit our anna bé minnesota bridal boutique and immediately fell in love with ‘Emory’ by Anne Barge.

Upon browsing our designer wedding dress collection, this strapless mikado ballgown stood out to Ellie and her crew.

Complementing the simple bridal ballgown, Ellie paired this Anne Barge wedding dress with their ‘Lula Veil’. This cathedral tulle veil was adorned with floral appliqués and added detail to Emory’s train.

Wearing simple wedding jewelry like pearl drop earrings and a dainty necklace, we loved Ellie’s entire bridal look.

Planning a Club Wedding on The Shore of Lake Minnetonka

When planning their big day, including their family and friends was very important to Ellie and Matt.

Ellie shares, “We had 200 of our favorite people there, it was the most perfect weather and such a fun celebration”.

With Ellie’s mom and grandma as matrons of honor, Ellie was surrounded by her family and girlfriends while getting ready to walk down the aisle. “I had my 7 best girlfriends there by my side”, Ellie exclaims.

Matt also enjoyed the support of his 7 best friends.

Ellie’s 3 brothers even joined in on the fun and acted as ushers before the ceremony.

Outdoor Wedding Ceremony With Greenery Arch

Standing underneath a giant greenery ceremony arch, Ellie and Matt exchanged vows outdoors at Lafayette Club.

White folding chairs lined the aisle and pedestals with pink flowers and greenery branches made a statement at the start of either side. Their family friend officiated the ceremony.

Later Ellie and Matt would stroll along the shore of Lake Minnetonka, making the most of this quiet moment together at sunset.

Eventually joining their guests at the reception for dinner, cake, and more celebration, Ellie and Matt’s classic wedding was elegant and effortless.
