New Event Venue- Mansion at Uptown

Hello wedding enthusiasts!

I'm so excited to be sharing a new event space with you! Mansion at Uptown is a chic revival of a very exquisite building, a renovated historic library that was built in 1911. It boasts fantastic architecture and a robust guest capacity. It's been furnished with oversized antique furniture and enormous crystal chandeliers which are decidedly decadent.

Regal Timeless Architecture

 Mansion at Uptown provides full service catering from Entourage Events Group.They have several premier spaces throughout Minneapolis.  The Entourage Events Group is on the cutting edge of wedding design and they work tirelessly to make sure their clients are satisfied with their event spaces.

Unique Ambiance

Upstairs, there's a private VIP lounge area that overlooks the main ballroom. This would be the perfect place for the bridal party to relax and take photos during cocktail hour. Of course, there's also a private patio that has beautiful Italian string lighting to create the perfect outdoor ambiance. It's another option for a seamless cocktail hour while the main space is flipped from ceremony to reception. Furthermore, there's a luxurious bridal suite for you and your wedding party to get ready in, taking off the pressure of running around town. Why not have hair and make up come to you?

Unique Furniture

Beautiful Crystal Chandeliers

In addition to a lush outdoor space in the middle of a booming city, there's a mysterious subterranean level known as "The Vault." It's equipped with charming crystal chandeliers and a stocked bar surrounded by old school brick. It would be fantastic as the dance space after a sit-down dinner.

Of course, creating the right aesthetic for this space involves lighting. They offer venue LED up -lighting in a variety of unique colors and audio surround sound with wireless microphone capabilities. Everything you'll need to create a luxurious party atmosphere for your guests!

I'm really excited to have another regal mansion event venue!

Tablescape for After the Holidays

Hello wedding enthusiasts!

Recently, I was contacted by Arhaus.com, a company that specializes in stylish decor, and asked to put together a tablescape for the time after the holidays but before spring has arrived. After happenstance inspiration, I decided on a color palette of white and chartreuse green! I was out walking in my yard, and the look of the melting snow on beautiful, bright green moss caught my eye. Eureka! I had the starting point for my display.

While we're not quite into spring yet, we're seeing peeks of it here and there. Birds are returning and singing their sweet songs in the morning. Coupled with the beauty of the snow melting on the moss, I thought it would create a unique theme. The linens I used were a soft mint with an antique lace runner.

I'm a huge fan of vintage everything, so I decided to use some pieces from my collection to bring in that vibe. A silver serving tray, a mercury glass candy dish and a white lantern created the base for my centerpiece. Next, I bought floral in soft chartreuse green and white. Then, I arranged the flowers in the mercury glass candy dish using floral foam. Adding moss around the base of arrangement, I then placed bird figurines in nests.

For the final touches of my tablescape, I decided to use all white dishes and a mint green napkin. The Soft mint green works well with the bright pops of chartreuse and white. I really love this "almost spring" look because when it does arrive, this display can be easily evolved! I would place moss bunnies, craft carrots, and Robin's eggs figurines to welcome the new season. Adding pussy willow and pastel floral to the white and green floral smoothly updates the look.These touches would carry the tablescape from "almost spring" into spring!


This was such a fun little project to distract me during the slower period before wedding season. Thanks very much to Arhaus.com for inspiring me to put this together! They have a fantastic collection of furniture. Please visit the dining section of their website to learn more about their chic decor.
