NIDA + THOMAS

DESIGN + MANAGEMENT

Private Residence + Aria // Minneapolis, MN

Nida and Thomas’s wedding day was anything but average. With an emphasis on unique, thoughtful, and artistic details, every moment was simply magical.

The day began at the bride’s family home in Minnesota where the couple and their wedding party got ready for a tented, backyard ceremony. Although the rain was unexpected, it added to the romance as fresh raindrops lined the outside of the clear tent. The weather lifted just in time for Nida to walk down the aisle in her breathtaking Monique Lhuillier gown. The couple said “I do” beneath a stunning floral installation, while their loved ones sat in-the-round, creating an intimate and enchanting setting for all.

The glamorous celebration continued at the ARIA venue in Downtown Minneapolis, where guests were welcomed with personalized champagne coupes. Inspired by a combination of Old Hollywood and Art Deco stylistic elements, the reception was perfectly curated to feel like an intimate restaurant. Long tables styled with an assortment of bold florals and lamps lined the room, with timeless and classic place settings at each seat. Guests celebrated the couple’s love with plenty of espresso martinis below the warm light of the vintage chandeliers.

The party carried on with drinks, dancing, and ice cream from their family owned business, Sebastian Joes. Small elements of interest were created throughout the reception with the use of rich fabrics, vibrant colors, and mixed metals, which showcased sophisticated glamor at every angle.
