Courtney + Brian, like us, feel so in love with weddings after having one of their own, (and seeing their wedding video below) that they went into the biz of doing the same for other rad couples. Their wedding was a think outside of the box, 50 person shindig at the Loring Pasta Bar in a funky neighborhood called, get this, Dinkytown. Not making that up. The eclectic vibe of the place was a perfect fit for C + B’s independent creative style. Let’s check it out!

I used an all rose bouquet as a tribute to my grandmother who passed away. Her name was Rose, my mom’s middle name is Rose and my middle name is Rose too. I love peonies, but it was a no brainer that I’d be carrying Roses down the aisle in memory of her.
