She had great ideas to make some of the florals multi purpose to help get the most bang for your buck, which was so amazing. Our flowers were stunning, and look incredible in our pictures. She put a lot of sentimental touches in that really made our wedding day so special, like my mom’s memorial chair. She is wonderful at what she does and we’re still getting compliments on our flowers weeks after.

I’m Kelly, owner of Lily & Daisy Floral. Coming from generations of floral enthusiasts, I have always loved and appreciated beautiful flowers. Because of that love, I decided to take a hobby and make it into a small business. I guess you could say Lily & Daisy Floral grew from a passion and love for all things floral. I design and create floral arrangements for the pure joy and love of it! A little more about me personally - I am a lover of live music, warm weather, my two dogs & spending time with my two children, Hayley & Alex. My dogs names inspired the name of my business, as their names are Lily and Daisy! :)

Lily and Daisy (Kelly) was wonderful to work with in all aspects. She truly made my floral vision come to life and I was in awe when I saw the final product. Even through dealing with her own personal stuff at the time she kept in touch and was amazing through it all!

In 1910, President Taft signed the bill to establish Glacier National Park as the country’s 10th national park. Mr. Healy was given a plumbing contractor for the train depot here in St. Paul, where he met Samuel Bartlett, the architect of many of the railroad depots and Glacier National Park Lodge. Healy then commissioned Bartlett to renovate and enlarge the house. In 1914, the farm was sold to John Healy, the owner of Healy Plumbing and Heating Company of St. Paul. Mr. Healy’s company became closely tied to the Great Northern Railroad, as it provided the heating and plumbing for many of the train depots that were being built around the country at that time. The farm was named Hope Glen Farm, the name of John Healy’s mother’s maiden name of Hope, and the house settles in a Glen, thus Hope Glen.

Hi 👋 I'm Andi, the owner of Luxe Enve! I've been in the beauty industry for well over 10 years, specializing in soft glam and romantic looks. I offer bridal hair services, bridal makeup services and various prep services to get you aisle ready. My goal is to help bring your beauty vision to life while providing a luxury experience for you and your bridal party. I'm looking forward to chatting with you about your special day!

Awarded Best of Zola
I had a bit of a unique situation - the company I had originally hired to do my hair and makeup changed my artists THREE TIMES- the final time less than 10 days out from my wedding. Andi was incredibly sweet to step in after I let the original company go for lack of faith with only 10 days notice. Andi had wonderful detailed skin care and hair care instructions for me and my bridesmaids to follow as we were able, to make sure we would have the best application possible the day of. She was super professional, and I believe she mentioned she was trained in photo ready makeup, and oh boy can you tell from the photos! I had some trouble with my contacts in the middle of my session, and she was really patient while I sorted that out and she redid the work for that eye so that you could never tell. I had mentioned this might happen and she reccomended traditional makeup, so I could retouch it myself if it happened again. She can do either airbrush or traditional. She rolled with the punches and difficulties and I'm incredibly indebted to her and the other two artists who joined her to help me and my massive bridal party (8!) Get ready for the best day of my life. I felt stunning, and most importantly? I still looked like myself. She took into account every desire I had and talked me through her suggestions and processes. I have really really long hair and it was put through the ringer pre and post ceremony - we ran through the woods, we laid in grass, we went on a golf cart and it got tousled by wind, I cried a few times. I dont know how it managed to stay so pristine, but it all did :) I cannot recommend Andi enough- she was a calm, knowledgeable, and professional artist. I could never reccomend her highly enough.

With a million decisions to make for your event, it might be tempting to dial up the first search result for the event DJ in Minneapolis and hire them on the spot. The downside? Not every DJ is appropriate for every kind of event. If you’re hoping to plan a one-of-a-kind party with music catered to your theme and formality level, you’re going to want to find a special event DJ in Minneapolis with experience. Your event is special, and we think the person you select to DJ the party should be special, too!

I had Ilaria from Beaute Beautique do my hair for my professional makeup artistry (Breanna Perez Makeup Artist) photoshoot and she did beyond what I expected. I have course, curly and fine hair and she was able to give me beautiful beach waves with lots of volume, which is something I lack on the crown of my head. I felt so beautiful!! I never get my hair done so it was a treat. And not only did she style it, she also taught me how to do my hair like that moving forward, as well as recommended products to use to provide this look. I also work and recommend my own brides/prospective clients to Ilaria for hairstyling and makeup. She is so kind, talented and absolutely fun to work with. You won’t regret it!

  • Team of 1
  • Starts at $875

Ever since I was little I was drawn to weddings. My love for all things beauty started in high school and flourished as I was trained in cosmetology and makeup. After helping a few clients and friends with their weddings, I knew I had to help brides feel their most beautiful self on one of their biggest days of their lives. My name is Andrea, Owner + Lead Artist. I currently live in Chaska with my husband, 2 boys and pup! I love chai tea lattes, spending time with family and friends and have a chronic case of busy-body-itis! I specialize in soft glam airbrush makeup - for the bride who wants to elevate their natural beauty!

Andrea made me and my bridal party look and feel absolutely stunning on my big day!!! She was such a joy to work with — she made everyone feel at ease and made sure we all looked perfect before pictures. She captured the exact look I wanted for my wedding day and I could not have chosen anyone better!
