This real wedding at Camrose Hill in Stillwater features the very best this venue has to offer
I will say it, though it is obvious, that a main reason to choose Camrose Hill for your wedding is the flowers.
This flower farm and wedding venue is designed by a florist, and so the floral artistry is strong, but so is the placement of the ceremony spaces, the decorating of the reception tent, and the inclusion of greenery everywhere.
These two brought a little something special to the entire celebration – overwhelming joy throughout. Nothing pairs better with sunlight coming through dappled trees in summer than joyful laughter, and I think we laughed all evening.
Did I get a tick? Yes! (Not to worry – it takes many hours before deer ticks are able to transmit anything!) A small price to pay for a perfect Minnesota summer wedding.

If you find yourself with the opportunity to get married in a fern glen surrounded by tall trees, you know you have done many things right in your life. And so it was for these two – surrounded by trees and green and family and friends.
