A Boho wedding in Rusty Tones

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.

brown and rust boutonnieres with white spray roses, dried bunnytail grass, brown llisianthus and dried poppy pods

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

Clarke & Laure

In the shadow of Wyoming's Bighorn Mountains, a special day unfolded for a couple from California who now reside in South Carolina. Their family's summer home provided the perfect backdrop for a simple, elegant wedding. They celebrated their roots with colors like navy blue and burgundy and a bouquet filled with dahlias and eucalyptus. Under a white tent at the Old Shell store, surrounded by loved ones, their love story began a new chapter. It was a day of joy, blending memories from two families into one beautiful moment, treasured by all who shared in their happiness.

Kaleigh Rust Photography captured all the love and sunshine for this September destination wedding in Tensleep, WY. Wild West Collective provided planning and rentals for their day with a reception hosted at the Old Shell Store.

Can we take a moment for this incredible bridal cape that Laure wore!!!!

Their mixed bridal party wore a combination of navy suits, and dresses in a burnt orange or navy depending on whose side they were standing on. 2023 was the year of mixed-gender wedding parties and I LOVED it.

The ceremony flowers were created with local choke-cherry branches loaded with cherries and leaves in perfectly burnished Fall colors, with amaranth and dahlias transported over the mountains from a local grower in Sheridan, WY.

These pieces were repurposed for the reception and enjoyed all evening!

Congratulations!

Nate & Sabre

In an elegant affair at the Brinton Museum near Sheridan, Wyoming, a paleontologist and museum curator say "I do," infusing their special day with the allure of prehistory. Amidst dinosaurs and prehistoric flora, guests find themselves in an inviting atmosphere where prairie-inspired jewel tones and earthy colors create a fun and enchanting ambiance. As the couple exchanged vows under a copper arch, towering trees, and amongst lush ferns, their love story unfolded in a celebration as timeless as the fossils.

Sabre found her dream dress at The Bridal Collection,  Denver, and her ladies wore Birdy Grey dresses in a color of their choice including sage green, terracotta, dusty blue, taupe, and rosewood.

Nate’s wedding party included his sister as Best Woman among his dearest friends. They wore dress pants in tan to brown tones with white shirts, suspenders in varied earth tones, and handmade bolo ties created by the groom.

We had a collection of prairie-inspired bud vases for their reception with simple flowers and grasses, potted plants with various ferns, succulents, and ancient Cycads. We used simple terracotta cylinder pots and gold dinosaur planters to honor their love for fossils. Sweet Tia’s made the most incredible macarons for their dessert table instead of cake!

Congratulations!

Intimate ~ Beautiful ~ Fun

These sweethearts planned an epic party at the Big Horn Equestrian Center near Sheridan, WY, for their June wedding with all their friends. We combined fresh and dried elements for their wedding flowers, full of boho-inspired warm jewel tones in rust, mustard, mauve, and emerald green.

She wore an incredible dress by Luce Sposa - The Elvis Dress with the most airy details. The bridal party wore a collection of mixed dresses from Baltic Born, and the men sported fresh, light-colored suits.

Our snow-topped Big Horn Mountains put on a show for their wedding day, and I love every image and detailed captured by Wyoming wedding photographer Kaylie Sirek.

The bridal parties stayed in luxurious rentals at The Powder Horn. They provided plenty of space and great locations for getting ready photos and are just a short drive from their wedding and reception venue at the Big Horn Equestrian Center in Big Horn, WY.

I created a garden-style bouquet in muted tones of rust, mauve, mustard, and emerald with garden roses, ruffled carnations, deep green foliage, and dried pampas grass.

Their ceremony took place on the polo fields under a hexagon arch with x-back chairs from Powder River Party Rentals. I created an asymmetrical floral piece in their muted jewel-tones with dried palm fronds and pampas grass to frame the space.

We had a combination design for their reception with long and low centerpieces in wooden boxes on long tables paired with rust or emerald-colored table runners and some DIY dried bud vases on their round tables. They included some antler sheds and loose greenery for a faux garland effect.

They partied the night away under the lights over the patio and ate Sheridan’s best pie from Hetty’s Pizza.

Congratulations

A Rust & Peach Wedding at Born in a Barn

Thoughtful ~ Inclusive ~ Cozy

Cloie & Tucker’s wedding day was everything they described and planned for. Each detail was thoughtfully chosen, and their cozy setting made each guest feel welcome. Their sage, peach, rust, and terracotta color palette came to life with ruffly roses and textured garden details.

Cloie wore an Anna Kara in silk chiffon with floral appliqués from Jasmine Lilly Bridal in Bozeman. Her sister and maid of honor wore a satin dress in Eucalyptus from Azazie with the Groom, and his brothers wore crisp white shirts and khaki pants. Their choice of a small, intimate bridal party made for the easiest and calm day with family by their sides.  

After growing up watching weddings from her front window, Cloie walked down the aisle under the amazing trees at Born in a Barn to marry her love under an arch he designed and built just for their wedding day. Wyoming Wedding Photographer Cassie Madden captured all the gorgeous details.

I’ve been itching to make a floral pocket square for a groom and finally got my chance with Tucker with peach ranunculus, earthy spray roses and small dried details.

Their reception took place in the well loved Barn and was filled with cozy seating around the dance floor and tables scattered about for guests. The bride’s grandmother created a host of terrariums and potted succulents in a variety of vessels and we scattered simple bud vases and loose greenery along the tables to complete the design.

Congratulations!
