Last weekend I discovered a hidden gem of a venue. Nestled in Theodore Wirth Park in Minneapolis by lakes, trails and a golf course, the Theodore Wirth Center has a rustic north woods vibe yet is somehow still sophisticated. I was on a panel at an event here, and was honestly charmed as it was much prettier than what I was expecting for a park venue. Inspired, I did an impromptu photo shoot that inspired this combo venue/outfit post.

One of the event attendees told me she’d seen photos of a wedding that was held here where all the guests wore flannel and dinner was a potluck. I can totally picture how that unique wedding theme would be a perfect fit for this venue, but a more traditional, smaller wedding or other party would also be cute in this cozy spot.

And the outside totally looks like a Swiss Chalet.
