June Local Bouquet - Styled Shoot

A Local Bouquet in June

When Abby Higgs Photography approached me for a simple styled shoot, I was excited to make a bouquet full of local beauty for their evening at the HF Bar Ranch in Saddlestring, WY. Our late start to Summer here in Sheridan left us with an abundance of peonies showing off, along with coral bells, ox-eye daisies, chamomile, and a few other little treasures I was able to pick from neighbors’ yards and local farms.

Growing flowers on a large scale in our climate is so difficult and I always jump at the chance to play with flowers grown so close to home.

Dusty Rose & Blush wedding inspiration

Here are a few of my favorite weddings featuring bridesmaids in blush or pink or dusty rose dresses. Click any image to see more from their wedding day and how their inspiration pulled in these colors through attire and flowers.

A September jewel-tone wedding

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.

The bride included all her little nieces as a flower girl posse. They wore mixed dresses in warm jewel tones with gold sandles and carried mini bouquets.

Congratulations!

Jackson Hole wedding in June

Paige & Luke

Sometimes wedding plans change, and your family ranch wedding in August makes a move to Jackson Hole in June. You get to have peonies in your bouquets and the majestic Tetons in your wedding pictures. Winning all around. Regardless of your wedding destination, you can’t lose in Wyoming.

The Bride wore an A-line dress by DAALARNA with spaghetti straps and delicate details while the groom wore a navy suit. The bridesmaids wore their choice of style and color in dusty rose, blush and, mauve from Azazie.

The bride requested a lush flower crown to wear for the day and we filled it with blush spray roses, delicate ranunculus, tiny waxflower, and blushing bride protea to coordinate with the groom’s boutonnière.

Paige and Luke chose to have a first look at their ceremony location followed by a mid-day adventure with their bridal party for portraits with the Teton’s and the famous T.A. Moulton Barn on Mormon Row.

They returned to Snow King in Jackson Hole for an afternoon ceremony with their family and friends in front of a circle arch with flowers in blush and ivory. The aisle was marked with wooden pillars topped with lanterns and simple bunches in blush attached to the chairs.

We used their bouquets as decor for their head table - you’d never know they’d been out and about all day in the sun and still looked stunning for their reception that evening. We added flowers to their three-layer naked cake instead of traditional toppers.

Congratulations!!

July Mountain Wildflower Wedding

Sarah and Justin were married on the shores of Paint Rock Lake in the Big Horn Mountains one stormy afternoon in July. We delivered colorful bouquets inspired by Wyoming Wildflower meadows and a collection of varied bud vases for their reception. Her ladies wore dresses in shades of pink and sparkles that let the flowers in blue, orange, yellow, and purple pop.

It was a treat to use locally grown zinnias, snapdragons, and coreopsis in addition to flowers from Colorado farms to bring in the color and texture inspired by her wildflower theme.

I love seeing the progression in the moody-stormy skies above their tables in these shots!
