One Bridal Accessory You Shouldn't Leave Out Of Your Wedding Day | MW Bride Tips | Bridal Tips

Let’s Talk Bridal Veils

I know the list of things needed for your wedding can be very overwhelming. Marking and checking off all the little details will all be worth it in the end I PROMISE! But in 2020 there is one thing you should add to your list if you haven’t; a Bridal Veil! Below are only a couple of reasons why I think veils are for all brides!

You will hear me singing the praises of veils until the end of time but please continue reading if you are on the fence of adding a veil to your wedding day.

CLASSIC

Bridal veils are classic. A wedding veil is one accessory that will never go out of style in the weddings. I am a personal believer that a simple veil will make your wedding day timeless. They have been a part of weddings since the 17th century; It is not going anywhere! I am particularly in love with the cathedral veils. Keeping it simple will carry the look alone on through generations of family viewing.

CLASSY

Bridal veils are classy. Some things in life just bring elegance and class with them in any setting. Like adding a strand of pearls to any outfit, adding a beautiful veil to your wedding dress elevates your entire bridal look. This is not only in your photos; photos just capture what is already there. I am a firm believer that no matter the venue a bridal veil can work anywhere.

THE WOW FACTOR

Bridal veils add the wow factor. Have you ever watched “Say Yes To The Dress?” When the store assosiate thinks the bride has finally found “The One” (the dress and the man!) they bring out a veil to finish the look. THE REASON IS IT BRINGS OUT THE WOW FACTOR! Not only does this finished look make you feel more like the bride of your dreams but it also will leave your future hubby and guests speechless from your beautiful completed look.

ROMANTIC VIBES

One of the biggest reasons I love wedding veils on my brides is that it gives off big romantic vibes. I think it translates in your photos the best. Veils always remind me of a real life fairytale coming to be.

I hope this blog gives you new insight on why you should add a wedding veil to your day!

Machine Shop

Website- http://www.machineshopmpls.com/
Address - 300 2nd St SE, Minneapolis, MN 55414

Guest Count- unknown

What I loved - I loved how modern and open this space felt. It had a great space to have the guests spread out on two different floor with a balcony overlook in downtown Minneapolis. Location parking was rough, but I loved how it was still in the twin cites. At this time this venue is unique in the cities and it was fun to shoot it.

Pretty Place Chapel

What I loved: Ok! I am aware that this is not a Minneapolis Wedding Venue, but it is not one I could leave off the list. This one is a ceremony site in the rolling hills of South Carolina. The view will cause your heart to stop because it is so breathtaking. The mountain views are what makes this venue high on my light of one of the most beautiful places I have ever been and ever shot.

Van Dusen Mansion

Website: https://www.thevandusenmansion.com/

Address: 1900 Lasalle Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55403

Guest Count: 50 - 200
What I loved: If you know me I am a sucker for mansion homes. I think they are so regal and classy and I just fall in love the the victorian sytle feel of the whole place. The Van Dusen Mansion is not exception. I loved the vibes of this whole minneapolis mansion wedding venue. I greatly enjoyed them also having a courtyard and seperate space for the dancing to take place and also give the guests some room to explore. One of it’s best features are the getting ready rooms on the second floor. It is a beautiful space for the wedding party to get ready and really enjoy the whole day in one spot if they choose too.

Personalized Stemless Wine Cup | Bridesmaids Gift Boutique | Product Review

Hey Brides! So you know in the morning of your wedding day you are excited and sipping on your mimosa surround by your best friends while you get dolled up and glamorous for your WEDDING DAY!

Wedding days are magnets for things going wrong even for the most proactive brides, but you spilling any party drinks doesn't have to be one of them! I was sent these cute personalized stemless wine cup by Bridesmaids Gift Boutique because they wanted to get the word out about this adorable gift for your girls.

First off these cups are super cute. I love the black and rose gold color scheme which I think has a fun modern feel. But they have a couple of other colors available on their site if you want to represent your wedding colors. If you want to gift it to your Bride tribe for the day of, you can choose an option of your girls initials or their full name!

I am a drink spiller. No matter how hard I try it is deeply engraved into who I am. This cup has a lid and straw which makes my spills not end up all over my outfit, which is a huge bonus.

The label raves it keeps things hot for 3 hours and cold for 9 hours. I tested both and this is what I found out! It keep the hot liquids hot and the cold liquids cold for hours!

This cup will be a cute wedding day gift for any bride and bridesmaids looking to have a good time in the mornings or even the reception!
