A June Wedding at the Brinton Museum

Magical ~ Elegant ~ Simplistic

These are the words Ashley used to describe her wedding day with Laramie.

Their June wedding day was full of moody clouds against the Big Horn Mountains and all the simple beauty she desired.

She chose a more traditional bouquet with a loosely round shape, packed with flowers in shades of pink and mauve with minimal greenery.

Kaylie Sirek Photography captured all the flower magic at the Brinton Museum.

Her bridesmaids wore dresses in Chianti from David’s Bridal while the men wore black.

Their simple ceremony decor included hand-thrown pottery bud vases with mauve, blush, and white roses. These elegant and simple pieces were paired with candles and antlers, wooden charges, and loose greenery. The ladies’ bouquets graced the head table among the antlers and gauzy runners.

Congratulations!

Luke & Elise - Destination Wedding

Elise grew up spending her summers in the shadow of the Big Horn Mountains while visiting family near Sheridan, WY. When it came time to plan a wedding and future with Luke, saying “I DO” in a personal and meaningful spot was only natural.

They planned an intimate wedding weekend with their nearest and dearest -just 43 people - to celebrate their union. Surrounded by their family and friends, they hosted a creekside ceremony under the trees.

Sheridan, WY-based wedding photographer, Cassie Madden Photography, captured the entire day and all of the magic.

In lieu of a traditional wedding party, their three dogs joined the wedding and wore floral collars in tones to match Elise’s bouquet in lavender, peach, and orange.

Every element of their wedding was individualized and they chose their personal favorite colors for the wedding. Orange for Luke, Purple for Elise. We blended the two colors together using peach and lavender tones. Elise preferred a bouquet that was more formal and less wild so we opted for less greenery, lots of roses, and a few delicate elements to bring in a wildflower feeling like purple asters, lavender Limonium, and peach hypericum.

Rather than bringing in another element for their ceremony along the creek, we used the trees as a base for our ceremony arbor. Their wedding arch on the tree flowed up the trunk and over their heads and was full of roses and deep purple delphinium. This piece was created and built on-site using a chickenwire base stuffed with meadowgrass and simply wired to the tree. For my florist friends out there - no floral foam was used!

Using their love of food and wine as a guide, they planned a 5-course tasting dinner with Travis Sorenson, chef at Birch, complete with wine pairings at the lovely Barn in Big Horn. This was the perfect reception venue for their intimate party and an evening of lawn games and celebrating.

To allow for conversation and visibility across their large, horseshoe-shaped table, we used a collection of hand-thrown pottery vases scattered down the table. Their bar was accented by a tall and dramatic elevated floral piece.

Congratulations!!!

When should you book your wedding florist?

Congratulations! You’re getting married and planning the beginning of a new life together. It can be exciting and overwhelming all at the same time. Now, onto the fun and challenging part. Who will be there? Where will you host them? How much money do you have to spend on a wedding? Do you have colors or a theme? What should everyone wear? Flowers and invitations and food and linens and photography - the list is endless.

Naturally, we’re all more excited about some parts of planning than others. Maybe it’s the food you’ll get to share. Or the music you’ll dance the night away to. Or maybe, it’s the flowers that set the tone for the entire day and bring all the pieces together.

Now, I’m not a wedding planner, but I talk to many couples about planning and have compiled a few resources to help you get started.

Zola - Your Ultimate Wedding Planning Checklist & Timeline!

As a general rule of thumb - you should have your date and venue locked in before booking additional vendors, including your florist. This way, we can ensure availability for your date and typically happens 6-12 months before your wedding. Now if you have your heart set on a specific, vendor, checking their availability before setting a date can’t hurt. (Just know we might not provide a full proposal before you’re booked.)

The basics Whirly Girl requires for booking your date is a confirmed (under contract) venue to ensure your date and a few inspiration pictures to get an idea of what you’re dreaming of. If you have an idea of your colors or style (classic, rustic, elegant, wild) and a general idea of your guest list it’ll help.

Things you don’t need to book your florist: final numbers of pretty much anything (flower girls, boutonnieres, even guest tables). A general idea is helpful but we understand these specific details will come together as your planning continues and will be finalized 4-6 weeks ahead of your wedding.

Mauve June Wedding

Brooklynn & Connor

After planning a 2020 celebration and putting it on pause, these lovers hosted a wedding and celebration with their family and friends in June. With the ladies in cool blue dresses and flowers in blush and neutral tones, they finally had the wedding they’d dreamed of surrounded by family and friends. Nathan Hans Films captured their day and all the love.

Their outdoor ceremony took place under towering pines and Brooklynn carried a petite, hand-tied cascade bouquet of her dreams.

How sweet are these two!

Congratulations!

A Blush Dream at the Powder Horn

When I asked Bliss and Jordan to describe how they wanted their wedding day to feel, they told me luxurious, romantic, and fun. We mixed blush and cream with black accents for their wedding flowers.

For any June wedding, peonies are a must! We used peonies in white and pale pinks along with garden roses, ranunculus, white hydrangeas, and eucalyptus for their flowers. Bouquets for the ladies were classic round bouquets with minimal greenery and we made a draped fabric arbor for their wedding with lush flowers. Bliss paired them with classy black hurricanes for half of the tables at the reception with gold centerpieces for the rest of the tables.

A.Ribordy Photography captured their day at the Powder Horn near Sheridan WY. Gather Events Co. provided exceptional planning and coordination for our vendor team to pull off this dream day.

Her ladies wore neutral and black spaghetti strap dresses from Dear Cleo. which made their flowers in blush and white pop. Bliss wore an incredible Justin Alexander dress from The Bridal Collection and her look was completed by Tanya Crocker.

Congratulations!!!
