Mountain Elopement Styled Shoot with Rocky Mountain Bride

Last March I loaded up my car with boxes of greens, buckets of flowers, so many snacks and a tiny baby for a day playing with some friends and making something special for the 2019 Wyoming edition of Rocky Mountain Bride. The drive was foggy and a little scary but when I made it over the mountain - sunshine was waiting for me at Meadowlark Ski Lodge.

With a roaring fire keeping us warm inside the lodge we all got to work. Hair and makeup on our models by Bonita Beauty Studio and Gypsy Soul Salon, our editor Chelsea moving furniture and setting a magnificent table while Kayla from Foxtails Photography captured all the magic. I started off working on the fireplace to create a sweeping green piece made with huck, soft ferns and golden leucodendron.

A Thursday Wedding

I met Lindsey shortly after moving to Sheridan four years ago and trusted my pixie head to her capable hands at Philosophy Hair Studio. She’s kept my signature look sharp since then and we’ve built a friendship over regular haircuts, holiday dinners, birthday celebrations, and evenings around the campfire with a beer and our guys.

She and Beau decided to host a private ceremony on a Thursday evening surrounded by their families and a small party with friends at the Barn in Big Horn to celebrate their marriage. Bonafide brought the love with an epic taco bar and Cheyenne, WY-based wedding photographer Liz Osban captured every moment. Making flowers for dear friends is an honor and this was no exception. She requested classic white with pops of her absolutely favorite orange and yellow accents in her bouquet. Playing with textures and colors is my favorite and this bouquet is no exception.

We love you two and can’t wait for more nights with drippy tacos and drinks around the fire.

A woodsy wedding near the Big Horn Mountains

Maria and her love live in North Dakota but planned a destination wedding in Sheridan, WY last summer. She wanted something with neutral colors and a woodsy feel. We used birch bark containers and some of her favorite succulents in her bouquet. They had a party with all their friends at the Big Horn Equestrian Center on a smoky August afternoon. Thanks to KEskury Photography for capturing these images.

Something for the men.

Those first look vibes…

Wedding Squad Goals

Because family is everything.

Maria requested a special arrangement to honor the memory of her mother made with her favorites - sunflowers. These creamy pale yellow ones were a knockout.

For the party

Congratulations you two!

Rocky Mountain Bride Inspirational Shoot

I’ve always been a fan of Rocky Mountain Bride and the gorgeous content they publish - both online and in print. Our simple mountain wedding was featured in the 2016 Wyoming edition and my first big wedding here in Sheridan was published on their blog!

In 2018 I joined with some of the best vendors in Sheridan to create a styled shoot for the 2018 Wyoming edition of Rocky Mountain Bride. It was a different type of challenge acting as my own client and getting to choose colors and theme in addition to planning the flowers and decor.

So thankful for the team that made this day happen and proud of what we accomplished. You can find these magazines on news stands now - go get a copy!

I wanted to create an unexpected ceremony spot while making the flowers approachable and relevant to Wyoming. My talented Husband helped me create a unique copper arch for the ceremony (now available to rent!). Copper bowls full of flowers, hand rolled beeswax candles and wild roses foraged for this shoot brought it all together.
