Meet Amy & Amy of Mimi Wedding Planning in Minneapolis, MN. These two friends from the way back design beautiful, hip weddings that will win over even the stodgiest of grandmothers. I had a chance to meet with them at their studio in beautiful North East Minneapolis to chat with them about the wedding biz. The synergy between them is immediately apparent (finishing each other's sentences and whatnot), as is their affection for their clients. Since they have such a well defined aesthetic, couples that are drawn to their website or space are typically already on the same page.
Each Amy has a background in design (Amy Red in interior design and Amy Blonde in graphic design) and they told me that it wasn't such a huge leap to designing weddings. Amy Blonde mentioned that though she might not have imagined wedding planning as a career earlier on, she thinks that she has found a perfect fit.
But it isn't all fun and games, they both said that they feel that half of their job is hauling things to and fro: "Professional Schleppers". At any rate, they seem to enjoy themselves no matter what the task and no doubt their sense of fun permeate the weddings they design. Even if you aren't in the Minneapolis area, the Amys love to travel for weddings so check them out at http://www.mimi-design.com.
