Edina has long been one of the Twin Cities' most polished communities — and that same attention to detail extends to the wedding industry it supports. From waterside ceremony venues at Centennial Lakes Park to boutique bridal shops and bakeries with decades of custom-cake experience, everything a couple needs for their perfect day is concentrated in one beautiful Minnesota suburb.
The Venues
The Westin Edina Galleria brings refined venue spaces, creative wedding planning services, and an ideal location in the heart of Edina. The hotel's combination of upscale accommodations and dedicated event staff makes it a natural anchor for a multi-day wedding celebration — guests can stay, dine, and celebrate without leaving the property.
Pinstripes offers a reception experience unlike any other. Luxurious bowling lanes, bocce courts, and cozy fire pits surround a ballroom that seats up to 280 guests, with private reception rooms and an outdoor balcony overlooking Centennial Lakes Park. It's a venue that encourages guests to linger.
Centennial Lakes Park is among Edina's most picturesque ceremony settings. Exchange vows at the Maetzold Amphitheater — with water views all around and capacity for up to 120 guests — then greet your guests five minutes away at the Hughes Pavilion. Paddleboat rentals and an 18-hole putting course offer built-in entertainment for guests with time to spare.
For out-of-town guests, the Residence Inn by Marriott Minneapolis-Edina is located less than a mile from Centennial Lakes Park. Full-size kitchens, complimentary Wi-Fi, hot breakfast, and airport shuttle service make it a comfortable base; wedding group rates are available for room blocks.
Rings & Registries
The Galleria Edina is a one-stop destination for rings and registries. Scheherazade Jewelers (a beloved local independent), Tiffany & Co., and David Yurman cover every engagement style; Crate and Barrel, Williams Sonoma, and Ampersand make building a home registry an afternoon well spent across more than 70 retailers.
At 50th & France, R.F. Moeller — serving the area for more than 65 years — and Diamonds Direct offer timeless ring options in a neighborhood setting. Sur La Table and Burlap and Brass round out the registry scene with cookware, kitchen essentials, and home décor across a district of more than 175 retailers.
Macy's at Southdale Center offers a one-stop solution for newly engaged couples — bridal attire, gift registry, and personalized wedding team services through the My Stylist@Macy's program all under one roof.
The Dress
50th & France is home to two celebrated bridal boutiques. Brides of France — established in 1999 — offers consignment and couture options in an intimate setting. Annika Bridal carries current and classic designers with a mission to provide couples a gallery of the most sought-after gowns paired with a uniquely attentive shopping experience.
At the Galleria, Dugo sells gowns, separates, and cocktail dresses from Nicole Miller and Theia — with an eye toward dressing the entire wedding party, from ceremony through reception and all the celebrations in between.
The Cake
Sweet Retreat brings more than 25 years of professional experience in fondant and buttercream to every custom order. Owner Stephanie Kissner works with each couple to create a one-of-a-kind flavor profile and design that reflects their wedding style and vision — from elegant minimalism to elaborate tiered showstoppers.
- Lunds & Byerlys — varied wedding cake designs including Bridal Veil and Words of Love options
- Woullet Bakery — all-natural cakes for more than 70 years, with devil's food, carrot, and pound cake bases and fully custom designs
