A Bighorn Mountain Destination Wedding

in , ,

Elegant ~ Minimal ~ Personal 

These sweethearts planned an intimate elopement in Wyoming at a family cabin in the Bighorn Mountains. They traveled from the midwest with their nearest and dearest to gather under towering pines and proclaim their love.

Storyteller Mo Speer Photography traveled along to capture all the beauty and intimacy of the day.

We created a soft and romantic garden-styled bouquet with garden roses and a nod to our favorite mountain wildflowers with pale blue delphinium, soft yellows, lavender scabiosa, and the sweetest daisies from my yard.

Her stunning Davenport Bridal dress came from Park & Fifth, which she paired with a sheer bridal scarf for their June wedding day.

The groom wore a modern pale grey three-piece suit with an epic beard. They choose not to have a bridal party and gathered with those they love for a weekend getaway full of wildflower meadows, mountain exploring and more moose than you could count.

Overall, simply magical.

Minnesota wedding photographer Britney Moser traveled to Sheridan to capture this magical Wyoming destination wedding.

Alexandra wanted her day full of earthy textures in white and green and a little pop of yellow as a nod to her yellow diamond engagement ring.

She wore a stunning bias-cut gown from A La Robe from The Dress Theory in Seattle made from silk crepe de chine with French lace detailing. With an ivory V-neck with lace details, she looked incredible atop our favorite Big Horn Mountains.

These lovebirds planned a destination wedding in the Big Horn Mountains and a small celebration with their closest friends and family. They chose to stand up without a bridal party and her friends picked dresses in colors of blue and green to match the wedding theme.

When a horse trainer calls for a vet to doctor some sick calves, it’s a love story for the books.

Rebecca and Brandt chose to say I do below the Bighorn Mountains at the Big Horn Equestrian Center near his childhood home, and their day was full of dramatic weather and the biggest smiles.

Forever West Weddings & Events coordinated an incredible group of vendors for this couple from California to make their destination wedding dreams come true.

Wyoming wedding photographer Cassie Madden captured everything from getting ready to smiles in the rain.

The groom and his men wore a classic western Canadian tuxedo and their cowboy hats with boots. The bride found her perfect dress at Miosa Bridal, a shop in Folsom, CA, and her ladies wore pale blue knee-length dresses.

The bride’s love of sunflowers directed our vision for the day and her flowers. We included locally grown Ox Eye Sunflowers (Heliopsis helianthoides) and white cosmos for a delicate, light feeling with plenty of movement.

They originally planned an outdoor ceremony on the expansive polo fields under an arch from Powder River Party Rentals with flowers and some calf roping pieces. Ultimately, the rain called for a change of plans, but we love these shots captured beforehand. The hanging arrangements did double duty for the day and were used as centerpieces under the tent for their reception.

The Cake Chic - Jaci Schmidt created custom cookies for each guest and a three-layer cake with a custom topper. The team from Shabby Shack crafted a beautiful meal and place settings under the tent for their reception.

Congratulations!

These two sweethearts met in the Midwest and made a home together in the heart of Sheridan, WY. They brought that St Louis flair to the Wild West and hosted a beautiful wedding at the Brinton Museum in July. Here's a fun fact: We live on the same street!

Wyoming Wedding Photographer Cassie Madden captured all the thoughtful details Laura from Forever West Weddings & Events curated for this couple.

Besides their elegant flowers in white and pale blue, my favorite moment might have been their custom escort wall, complete with watercolor renditions of their favorite places.

Follow along for a complete vendor list and all the flower magic below.

Here’s the incredible team who brought the magic for this late July wedding in Sheridan, WY.

The bride and her best friends stayed at a charming downtown Sheridan AirBnb with amazing lighting and fun details for photographs while getting ready.

Their ceremony took place on the elegant lawns at the Brinton Museum under a simple arch from Powder River Party Rentals. I added soft, ivory draping and white and pale blue flowers with lots of greenery. We framed the aisle with white pillars topped with simple green ferns.

For their reception under the tent, we used a mix of centerpieces including delicate bud vases with garden roses in white and larger arrangements in white ceramic vases. She provided LED candles in blue and white with silver candle sticks and votives to complete the look.

Congratulations!

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.
