Nicollet Island Pavilion Fall Wedding | Darwin + Katie

By jeanninemarie

Darwin and Katie had a beautiful fall wedding at Nicollet Island Pavilion. I’m obsessed with their color palette of deep reds, purples, and pinks. Edilforial knocked it out of the park with the bouquets and ceremony floral for the arch overlooking the Mississippi River. These two had such a wonderful day, and I am so honored to have been able to document their contagious smiles and beautiful love.

Why did you choose Nicollet Island Pavilion for your wedding?

The natural beauty was the obvious answer. The Mississippi is super important to Katie, as she has always lived in a town where the Mississippi cuts through (Brainerd and Minneapolis). It is a nice reminder of how something that starts small and slow can turn into something significant and powerful. The venue itself is historic but modern inside – fitting the theme of timelessness.

HOW THEY MET

Darwin and Katie met through a dating app, but they only went out because a mutual friend encouraged them to go on their first date!

THE PROPOSAL

Darwin wanted to propose at a place with a sunset almost as beautiful as Katie’s red hair! They went on a trip to Hawaii, and he had to hide the ring in a hat he was carrying. He pretended to see an animal in the tide pool, then turned around to surprise Katie with the ring!
