Relaxed ~ Inviting ~ Party 

After a private elopement, these lovers planned a Soft & Colorful Rustic-ish Reception at the Big Horn Equestrian Center. The day was full of beautiful flowers, their favorite people, and sweet moments together.

She wore a stunning watercolor floral dress from Wyld ‘n Pretty while he donned a classic western denim-on-denim look.

Powder River Party Rentals provided the sheltering tent and guest seating along with a fun photo booth situation. We created a custom flower backdrop on an arch built by the groom for his bride’s garden. Dani Jerry Photography of Buffalo, WY captured all the feelings and fun of the day.

For their guest reception tables, we created a cpllection of pieces including mixed glass and ceramic bud vases along with a little succulent. We used flowers in shades of pink, lavender, and yellow with delicate accents.

Congratulations!

Cottage-core ~ Earthy ~ Chic

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.

Eliza & Zach

Imagine exchanging vows against the backdrop of Wyoming's Bighorn Mountains—a breathtaking setting for a simple, unhurried, and undeniably beautiful wedding at the bride’s family home. Picture sage green blending with warm, muted gold tones, accented by delicate white daisies reminiscent of the bride's mother's bouquet. This captured the heart of their Western wedding, with every detail radiating natural charm.

Cheery ~ Western-y ~ Bright

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!

A June Wildflower Wedding in White & Yellow

Demi & James

I ask every couple to rate how important flowers for their event are on a scale of 1 (meh) to 10 (heck, YES). Demi responded with a resounding 11 and we set off on an adventure planning her dream wedding flowers with Forever West Weddings & Events by our side.

She and James planned a weekend celebration at the beloved HF Bar Ranch and invited their nearest and dearest to join them.

Sarah Averill, a Wyoming wedding photographer, captured all the gorgeous details and their sweet love.

Demi let her ladies choose their dress style and color within her floral-filled yellow theme, and the result was stunning. Each friend wore her personal favorite with character and sweet details. Her dress came from Emma & Grace Bridal Studio and was designed by Pronovias. Hair & Makeup by Tanya finished their looks for the wedding day with their beauty shining through.

As we all know, June can be a fickle month in Wyoming and this day was no exception. We designed their ceremony florals under sunny skies with clouds peeping over the mountain peaks. After a short and intense rain delay, their ceremony occurred under stunning evening skies.

Linden House sourced incredible pieces for dinner hosted on the covered porch at the ranch house, bringing Demi’s blue-plated dreams to life. We paired delicate blooms in white, yellow, and pale pink with tapered candles for a dreamy evening over food with their loved ones.

The couple stole away immediately the ceremony for some portraits together and Demi traded her long veil for a petite flower crown with ranunculus and chamomile.

Congratulations!
