Colorful Ivory North Summer Wedding
A Summer Dream: Colorful Wedding at Ivory North in Mora, Minnesota
There’s something truly magical about a summer wedding in Minnesota — especially when it’s set at a venue as stunning as Ivory North in Mora. In mid-July, I had the joy of capturing a vibrant and heartfelt celebration that perfectly blended rustic elegance with joyful summer charm.
Located just over an hour north of Minneapolis, Ivory North is a light-filled white barn venue that brings a modern touch to the classic countryside. Its clean, airy interiors and serene outdoor ceremony space made it the perfect backdrop for this colorful, love-filled day.
Colorful Florals & Summer Style
The bridesmaids turned heads in a mix of floral summer dresses, each with its own unique pattern and palette. The choice to go with a range of bold, colorful florals brought so much life and personality to the bridal party — a beautiful contrast against the soft white tones of the barn and the warm July sunlight.
The groomsmen kept things timeless and fresh in tan suits, with crisp white shirts that echoed the bright, breezy vibe of the day. The neutral tones were the perfect complement to the bridesmaids’ colorful gowns, creating a harmonious, summery palette that felt effortlessly stylish.
A White Barn Wedding with Heart
The ceremony took place outside under a canopy of trees, with guests seated on wooden benches and sunlight filtering through the branches. The couple’s vows were heartfelt, personal, and filled with laughter — a beautiful reflection of their connection and the joy shared by everyone present.
Moments That Matter
Some of my favorite moments to capture from this day:
The bride’s emotional first look with her father.
The way the florals popped against the white barn and bright blue sky.
The toast from the bride’s father had everyone crying (yes, it was epic).
The couple sneaking away for a few quiet sunset portraits — always a favorite moment for me to photograph.
Why I Love Ivory North
As a Minneapolis wedding photographer, I’ve had the opportunity to shoot at many venues across Minnesota, and Ivory North is truly one of my favorites. It offers the ideal mix of rustic charm and minimalist beauty, and it’s just far enough from the city to feel like a destination without being out of reach.
If you're planning a summer wedding and dreaming of colorful florals, breezy style, and an unforgettable barn venue — I’d love to help you capture it all.
