When Cady and Jon came to us to help with the decor for their wedding at the Rourke Art Museum, we couldn’t have been more excited! An incredibly art-minded couple – Jon is Director and Curator at the Rourke, while Cady also works at the Rourke, for Longspur Prairie Fund here in Moorhead, AND is the Travel and Import Coordinator of Aegean Imports – we already knew these two had incredible style and taste and we couldn’t wait to get started!

Cady and Jon wanted a head table that was warm, intimate, artful, and eclectic.

Rather than a full, formal dinner, the couple opted for heavy apps and a more free-flowing, social-style reception. Our emerald green appetizer plates were just the thing! And did you notice all the details that nod to the stained glass windows at their ceremony??!!

One of our favorite details was the extra-long Grey Gauze Runner that flows off the edges of the table and spills across the floor – invoking an impression of spilled paint.

Everything about the reception was planned and staged to compliment the beautiful artwork on display in the museum’s gallery at the time – even the desserts!

And finally, our new set of Dexter Sofas and Kianna Rug set the tone for the outdoor lounge on the museum’s stone patio.

We can’t say thank you enough to Cady + Jon for letting us get creative with them – we wish we could do it all over again!

What Cady + Jon Gathered:

When Ashley Ham of FloraPine Photography asked if I would be interested in working together on spring styled shoot that wasn’t the typical “spring-y” look – I knew right away that I was in!

We wanted an urban feel with a touch of industrial – soft, but not too soft – so we chose a place where we could incorporate elements like brick, ceramics, and stone, steel and raw wood. The soft, almost neutral palette with that punch of emerald green speaks to the first creepings of spring and new life. The hardness of winter is hard to break through, but even the softest of flowers find their way and flourish.
