Harvester Square is St. Cloud's newest venue, but it comes with a rich history—the building dates to the early 1900s when it was home to International Harvester Co. The remodeled facility maintained its historic charm, such as exposed brick walls and wood beam ceilings, with a modern twist. To highlight the venue’s unique ambiance, Tonya Phelps of Tonya Hjort Photo created a French-inspired design with romantic details around every corner.
We aimed to capture a whimsically elegant feel through textured and dimensional arrangements, showcasing an array of fresh foliage within a blush and peach color palette. The result was an organic yet refined aesthetic.

The pastel palette of coral and light blues made for soft contrast against the venue’s industrial vibe, while House of Happy’s feminine florals transformed the space into a fragrant garden. Dried oranges accented the tablescape, framing name cards and adorning the two-tiered cake. ElizaGrace Paperie’s unique stationery carried through the garden theme, featuring luscious reproductions of Monet paintings and a watercolor border with butterflies and dragonflies on the invitation suite.
French gardens are synonymous with painter Claude Monet. His artwork was the perfect choice for this suite.
