rue de seine

gratuity. it feels only right that we dive into this topic right before thanksgiving. we won’t get cheesy with it and definitely won’t make you share your thoughtful thanks around a dining table draped in doilies and ceramic dishes (psst… does this hit home for any fellow family holiday-goers?). that being said, we do think gratitude is an important matter to be mindful of.

sometimes gratuity only comes out to play after the hustle of wedding planning is over, but this wedding gallery reminded us of the beauty in expressing gratitude in the exact moment. so here’s a list of photo memories that made us grateful to experience #aandbabe heather and seth’s love unfold. it's our hope that you feel the same honor and gratitude scrolling through these shots too.

we’re grateful for their… COLOR PALETTE

if there was ever a wedding color palette that made us feel all warm and gushy inside, this it it! everything from their rust colored invitation suite with a wedding weekend map to their amber glassware and the pleated napkins at their al fresco reception dinner oozed brownish yellow, gold goodness. their wedding color scheme felt cozy and chic, like worn in corduroy pants and your softest cashmere sweater. fall vibes anyone?

we’re grateful for their… BREW LOVE

we know we share a lot of big champagne talk, but we can crack a cold one like the best of them, babes! little pops of brew love were placed throughout their big day and we’re beyond thankful they added these personal touches to their already charming wedding decor. at their reception, they had a ’the party’ sign decked out with polaroids and a fun beer mug drawn in the corner. not to mention seth lifting up a koozied beer while leaning in for a kiss in one of these killer photos. their big day was bubbling over in happiness and good times.

a couple that’s down to party and pop open a beer while dancing under a disco ball is such a badass encapsulation of love being that whole damn pint… we mean point.

we’re grateful for their… STYLE

we’re a sucker for style through and through. heather’s rue de seine ’sia’ gown with romantic crochet bell sleeves and a cutaway slip was stylish and fun. she effortlessly rocked this bold bohemian wedding dress and we loved every detail. from her effortless braided bridal hairstyle to the statement earrings and earthy wildflower bouquet, heather kept the cool bride vibes coming.

seth complimented heather's boho bridal look with a stylish suit vest. though simple, his white button down and sleek tie made a statement and perfectly paired with heather's lace rue de seine wedding dress.

couple goals. style goals. wedding goals. heather and seth, you had a hell of a time ringing in forever. grateful for your love. it looks damn good on you.

in awe of the minnesota wedding vendors that came together to make this magical day happen.
