MN Bride Best of 2026 Gala
The Depot | Minneapolis, MN
The 2026 MN Bride Best Of Gala honored the best wedding professionals in Minnesota, where guests slipped into a low-lit, luxurious speakeasy atmosphere. The glamorous lounge aesthetic was complemented with mood lighting, textures of velvet and silk, and hints of metal finishes. As a sponsor for the signage and print pieces, I created signage that both welcomed and directed guests and helped elevate the overall experience.
