A Boho wedding in Rusty Tones

Private Residence

Meet the Quinns

This boho-inspired wedding, featuring rusty tones and dried elements, was hosted at the bride and groom’s new home outside Sheridan, Wyoming.

Forever West Weddings and Events helped plan all the cozy details and an all-star local vendor team that included:

The bride’s attendants wore a mix of Eucalyptus-colored dresses from Azazie and a striking burnt orange jumpsuit.

The groom built a hexagon arch for their wedding ceremony. It was VERY blustery on their big day and blew over before I arrived. Thankfully, the guys were on location getting ready and jumped into action to repair and reinforce the structure. I used dried pampas, the brides favorite giant mums and roses for their arch installation.

Their tented reception in the backyard provided a beautiful spot to enjoy dinner and dancing as the sun went down on their September wedding.

CONGRATULATIONS

Wildflower September Wedding

in , , , ,

Dilyn & Jonathan - They were married in the wilds of the Big Horn Mountains and skipped a bridal party to spend some time with their horses before the wedding. Their family and friends gathered around them - sans seating - for an intimate, riverside ceremony.

Dilyn wore the stunning a-line Lotus dress from Vow’d, while Jonathon donned the perfect pale blue suit with a tan hat. So very classy and perfect for their scorching hot September wedding.

Dilyn requested a wildflower-inspired bouquet full of texture and all the color I could muster. I sourced zinnias, snapdragons, and verbena, among a few other treasures, from local farms and filled in with other fine-textured items from my wholesaler. They had a series of sweet hob-nail vases filled with wildflower bouquets for their casual tent reception near Hyattsville, WY. Wyoming wedding photographer ANAFINN Photography captured all the glorious details.

Who holds your bouquet when there isn’t a bridal party? The groom of course! I’m always a sucker for men with gorgeous bouquets in hand.

A September jewel-tone wedding

in , , , ,

This is a love story 17 years in the making. These two sweethearts met when they were just 7 but started their romance in their 20s and were married on a warm September day full of joy.

They planned an elegant bohemian-styled day with their families in Colorado Springs. Full of deep jewel tones and delicate details, we brought all of the bride's favorite colors to the table and simple potted ferns to complete the look.

Audrey requested a gently cascading bouquet, and we added delicate ferns to match the pattern on her stunning Maggie Sottero dress. Eric was born in New Zealand, and his only request for the wedding was a nod to his favorite plant - a New Zealand fern.

All the beauty of the day was captured by award-winning wedding photographer Adonye Jaja of Denver, CO.

Their bridal party wore mixed dresses from Baltic Born and simple grey vests for the men.

Their reception took place under a clear top tent filled with the famous Colorado sunshine. We topped their wooden farm tables with a collection of items including birch logs, potted ferns, hand-thrown, farmhouse style bud vases and lush, low centerpieces packed with flowers in mustard, rust, yellow, deep purples, salmon and deep red. A twist on the traditional jewel-tones with a nod towards the end of summer and more muted tones.

An Ode to Burgundy & Blush

in , ,

Perhaps the most enduring color palette of my 13 season wedding career, Burgundy (or merlot) and blush is the forever flexible color scheme that appeals to everyone. It can be rustic or country, classic and elegant while fitting nearly every single season. It might just be the unicorn wedding color palette to rival classic white.

Sometimes the design leans more towards blush and light tones with pops of color. Other times we go dark and highlight with brighter blooms. Often it’s paired with a shade of blue and you’ll find the funky, textural thistles in their starring role. From bouquets full of greenery to bouquets with minimal foliage you’ll find the full range.

Here are my favorites and how even when the request is the same, I keep things fresh, unique and customized to every couple I have the honor of creating flower magic for. Click the images to see accompanying blog posts.
