Classic Church Wedding and Country Club Reception in North Dakota

Wondering what wedding dress styles you can wear to a church wedding? While every church and religion has their own preferences, typically brides opt for more modest bridal elements like long sleeves and high necklines. In #AnnaBeBride Taylor’s case, a high neck silk wedding dress was the perfect bridal look for their church wedding ceremony. Gliding down the aisle in this lightweight wedding gown, Taylor’s vintage-inspired bridal look was elegant and simple.

Best Bridal Shop in Minnesota

Taylor wanted to visit the best bridal shop in Minnesota for her wedding dress. When booking her appointment at anna bé Minnesota, Taylor knew she’d enjoy her experience thanks to the boutique’s extensive online information and high-end designer offering. Upon visiting Minnesota bridal boutique, Taylor’s suspicions were proven true. She instantly gravitated towards Katherine Tash’s luxurious bridal collection.

‘Bella’ by Katherine Tash Wedding Dress

After exploring a range of Katherine Tash bridal designs, Taylor ultimately landed on ‘Bella’ by Katherine Tash. This wedding dress had a minimal high neckline and an open back with a stunning cowl back detail. Taylor accessorized her modern wedding gown with chunky wedding jewelry, a simple cathedral veil, and pleated wedding heels from Loeffler Randall.

Timeless Bridal Robe Attire

To coordinate with her wedding dress, Taylor wore a timeless silk bridal robe with tulle sleeves as she got ready. The sheer fabric sleeves had fun ruffled cuffs that were perfect for adding a whimsical touch to her ring detail shots. Taylor glowed as she got her hair and makeup done in this chic bridal robe and custom wedding slippers. Excited for the day ahead, Taylor’s big smile lit up the entire room.

Just Married Wedding Photos

Following the heartfelt church ceremony, guests made their way to Oxbow Country Club while Taylor and Michael hung back for a few moments of solitude. “After the ceremony, we stopped at a local dive bar to celebrate before joining our guests at Oxbow Country Club.” Celebrating this big moment by themselves before rejoining their guests, Taylor and Michael were able to get a few fun photos of just the two of them strolling the streets and enjoying the first minutes of married life.

Oxbow Country Club Wedding Reception

Taylor and Michael’s exquisite wedding reception took place at Oxbow Country Club in Oxbow, North Dakota. When guests first arrived, they were greeted by a personalized wedding tapestry that read ‘Welcome to The Wedding Of Taylor and Michael’. This wedding signage was adorned with elegant florals and created a welcoming atmosphere for their wedding festivities.

The second they stepped into their reception space, Taylor and Michael were blown away by the overwhelming feeling of love. “The room was stunning, but I was even more in awe to see all the people Michael and I loved in one room. Michael got so emotional, he couldn't even give his planned thank you's.”

Champagne Tower Wedding Photos

After they recovered from the shock of their reception entrance, they began enjoying the many fun reception details they had planned. One of the highlights of their reception was a spectacular wedding champagne tower. Together Taylor and Michael poured bubbly into the pyramid of glasses. The flash photos of the first golden bubbles to cascade down the tower were exactly what Taylor and Michael had envisioned when making this request!

Waterside Wedding Photos at Oxbow Country Club

As the sun began to set, Taylor and Michael snuck away once more to take a few wedding portraits by the waterside. Strolling along the country club’s secluded wrap-around patio, Taylor and Michael laughed with one another and looked out onto the tranquil lake.

Listening to the gentle breeze and noticing the fading light, they began to reflect on their dream wedding day and the cherished people they got to share it with. While they always hoped for a magical start to their forever, they had no idea just how perfect it would be. Taylor regards their big day as the very best, “Truly everything I imagined as a little girl and more”.
