Another week, another #MitzvahMonday! And Charlotte's Bat Mitzvah was definitely one for the record books! Charlotte and her family vacation every summer on Martha's Vineyard, so when Allie from Amy Zaroff Events & Design / A2Z Do It Directed was designing this event, she drew from the beachy, summery, light and bright scenes at the vineyard ... and isn't it just spectacular?! The perfect theme for an end-of-summer event! 

We started with portraits at Bet Shalom Congregation on Thursday before the big weekend began. Charlotte, her sister and her parents look just stunning in these portraits - I always love seeing the tradition and contemporary aspects blend so perfectly! 

Friday night Shabbat dinner at the Westin in Edina was perfection as usual - great details, great space and the guests saw just a glimpse of what the weekend had in store. Saturday Kiddish luncheon at Bet Shalom was delish and divine, thanks to all the fabulous vendors. 

Then ... the party really got started! Calhoun Beach Club was the best venue for the job - a great view of the classiest lake in Minneapolis and this is where Charlotte and Allie's vision really came to life! 

Vendors included Linen Effects, Munster Rose, Girl Friday, Mobile Photo Wall, D'amico Catering and Level 11 --- thanks to everyone for creating such a custom event for Charlotte. 

I'll stop talking and let these light, bright and beachy photos speak for themselves! And a big hug and Mazel Tov to Charlotte and her family! XOXO!
