Wildflower Wedding at Gathered Oaks in Alexandria, MN

If your wedding colors are pastel purple, pink and wildflowers, this blog is for YOU! Cortney and Brandon’s wedding at Gathered Oaks in Alexandria, Minnesota is full of inspiration! (The venue is so beautiful itself!) As a full-service wedding planner and decorator, Hitch Studio coordinated every detail of this Minnesota wedding, from ceremony to reception décor and timeline management. Keep reading for a look behind the scenes!

The couple got married outdoors in the most charming shady area full of trees, then had their reception inside the renovated barn at Gathered Oaks. Anywhere you looked, there were touches of Cortney and Brandon — and wildflowers! One of the best parts of working with Hitch Studio is that we’re there to help you move any ceremony flowers to the reception (so you can enjoy them TWICE! We did that for Cortney and Brandon. Check out the photos of the ceremony and how we transitioned them all inside to their head table inside!

When you hire Hitch, you also get access to ALL our artificial florals for free, so we decorated her photo booth with our florals and blue settee! Some of our other favorite wedding decor elements included:

  • Lilac linens paired with blush pink knotted napkins
  • Chargers on any table just levels-up the formality of your wedding!
  • 24 centerpieces featuring Hitch Studio’s complimentary pastel wildflowers, ceramic and gold vases, taper candles, wicker accents, and table numbers in gold frames.
  • A trellis above the head table adorned with relocated ceremony florals — installed by our team post-ceremony
  • Custom tables for memory displays, guest book (hello, cute cooler!), and late-night snacks (hello, pretzel bar!)
  • The CUTEST wildflower seating chart and welcome sign! (Brought by the bride)

If you’re looking for wedding design in Minnesota that blends elegance with YOUR personality, this wedding is a stunning example. As the couple’s wedding planner and day-of coordinator, Hitch Studio was there from start to finish — literally. We coordinated Friday’s rehearsal, created a detailed wedding timeline, and were the first to arrive and last to leave on wedding day.

Some of the wedding planning and coordination services Hitch Studio provided:

  • Wedding decor setup + teardown (ceremony and reception)
  • Timeline creation and execution
  • Vendor communication (lots of emails, calls, and a day-of group text
  • Emergency kit for the bride and on-site support for wedding party and family
