A Rustic Glam Wedding at Camrose Hill in Stillwater, Minnesota

San Francisco-based Lynn Nguyen (26 and a visual designer) and Atlee Lyden (26 and a software engineer) returned home to Minnesota to wed in an elegant outdoor ceremony underneath a vine-covered gazebo.

After designing the table numbers, signage and bar menus herself, Lynn partnered with a graphic designer to create a garden-inspired invitation suite printed on pearl card stock for added shimmer. Post-ceremony, the newlyweds changed into customary Vietnamese wedding attire, or áo dài, to individually greet each guest. “It’s tradition, and a time to personally thank each and every person that came,” Lynn says.

Gold spray paint covered wine bottles for easy, DIY centerpieces. In lieu of cake, Lynn’s uncle baked a homemade lemon cheesecake topped with a lemon glaze for dessert. Another indulgent hit: a sweet bubble tea bar, where guests could help themselves to flavored milk tea topped with tapioca pearls.
