Wildflower September Wedding

Dilyn & Jonathan - They were married in the wilds of the Big Horn Mountains and skipped a bridal party to spend some time with their horses before the wedding. Their family and friends gathered around them - sans seating - for an intimate, riverside ceremony.

Dilyn wore the stunning a-line Lotus dress from Vow’d, while Jonathon donned the perfect pale blue suit with a tan hat. So very classy and perfect for their scorching hot September wedding.

Dilyn requested a wildflower-inspired bouquet full of texture and all the color I could muster. I sourced zinnias, snapdragons, and verbena, among a few other treasures, from local farms and filled in with other fine-textured items from my wholesaler. They had a series of sweet hob-nail vases filled with wildflower bouquets for their casual tent reception near Hyattsville, WY. Wyoming wedding photographer ANAFINN Photography captured all the glorious details.

Who holds your bouquet when there isn’t a bridal party? The groom of course! I’m always a sucker for men with gorgeous bouquets in hand.

Congratulations!

They hosted dinner at long tables with a collection of items in copper and amber with custom-painted table cards and wild, natural flowers.

We split the table centerpiece design with half of their tables featuring a long wooden box filled with rust roses, warm dahlias, and eucalyptus paired with a few amber glass bud vases. The remaining tables were a collection of bud vases and a loose greenery garland on top of a light table runner.

Additional items included mercury glass votives with LED candles, cut glass goblets, and copper stands for their custom watercolor table names.

A September jewel-tone wedding

This is a love story 17 years in the making. These two sweethearts met when they were just 7 but started their romance in their 20s and were married on a warm September day full of joy.

They planned an elegant bohemian-styled day with their families in Colorado Springs. Full of deep jewel tones and delicate details, we brought all of the bride's favorite colors to the table and simple potted ferns to complete the look.

Audrey requested a gently cascading bouquet, and we added delicate ferns to match the pattern on her stunning Maggie Sottero dress. Eric was born in New Zealand, and his only request for the wedding was a nod to his favorite plant - a New Zealand fern.

All the beauty of the day was captured by award-winning wedding photographer Adonye Jaja of Denver, CO.

Their bridal party wore mixed dresses from Baltic Born and simple grey vests for the men.

Their reception took place under a clear top tent filled with the famous Colorado sunshine. We topped their wooden farm tables with a collection of items including birch logs, potted ferns, hand-thrown, farmhouse style bud vases and lush, low centerpieces packed with flowers in mustard, rust, yellow, deep purples, salmon and deep red. A twist on the traditional jewel-tones with a nod towards the end of summer and more muted tones.

The bride included all her little nieces as a flower girl posse. They wore mixed dresses in warm jewel tones with gold sandles and carried mini bouquets.

Congratulations!

An Ode to Burgundy & Blush

Perhaps the most enduring color palette of my 13 season wedding career, Burgundy (or merlot) and blush is the forever flexible color scheme that appeals to everyone. It can be rustic or country, classic and elegant while fitting nearly every single season. It might just be the unicorn wedding color palette to rival classic white.

Sometimes the design leans more towards blush and light tones with pops of color. Other times we go dark and highlight with brighter blooms. Often it’s paired with a shade of blue and you’ll find the funky, textural thistles in their starring role. From bouquets full of greenery to bouquets with minimal foliage you’ll find the full range.

Here are my favorites and how even when the request is the same, I keep things fresh, unique and customized to every couple I have the honor of creating flower magic for. Click the images to see accompanying blog posts.

Meet the Millers

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!!!
