A Brinton Wedding in Burgundy

August 15, 2019 by myca in Bouquets, Destination Wedding, flowers, Reception, Wedding

These lovebirds planned a Wyoming destination wedding at The Brinton Museum from their home in Texas. Through a series of emails and calls, we planned the perfect florals to go along with the romantic and fun vision for their wedding day. With burgundy dahlias, a September staple, pops of peach and accented with blue, their flowers fit the bill. Their day was perfectly captured by Ft. Collins Photographer, Dyann Diercks.

The Brinton is a personal favorite for local venues. From the old farm house with expansive lawns, beautiful gardens and towering mature trees (a favorite for outdoor ceremonies) to the clean modern lines inside the museum and sweeping vistas of prairie and the Big Horn Mountains near the tent- it has a bit of everything.

Carly and Ben shared a sweet first look on the lawn before the ceremony. This is always a personal favorite and his reaction to the first glimpse of his bride is priceless.

Their friends and family traveled from far and wide to celebrate with them here in Sheridan. I think we’d all agree life is better surrounded by those we love and sharing big moments together is even better.

For their reception, I helped them plan and coordinate some DIY centerpieces. They picked a varied set of amber bud vases and bottles to use alongside votive candles. I provided the flower planning, tools and a few instructions and they made some stunning and simple centerpieces. This is a fantastic option for flower enthusiast with a large guest list and moderate budget who have a few helping hands to put it all together.

No post would be complete without a few shots of the bouquet in all it’s glory. I was so thankful for full creative freedom to use the best of the season and make something just for her. This one featured dahlias, peach roses (Shimmer), blue thistle, ranunculus, foxglove and mixed eucalyptus.

Congratulations!

An August Wedding in Purple

These two classy people tied the knot on a steamy August afternoon in Massachusetts. Just two months after my move to Wyoming, I flew back to Massachusetts for their sweet wedding at an historic mansion on the North Shore. Following a sweet first look and private shoot on the grounds with their friends, they retreated to the cool of the mansion while guests arrived. Shortly before their ceremony was about the start the heaven’s opened and a monsoon rain came pouring down. While the staff quickly ushered everyone under cover, the clouds opened up. And it POURED. Buckets.

Shades of lavender with roses, campanula, flowering basil, eucalyptus, scabiosa and nigella pods.

Prior to the storm arrival, the ceremony aisle was lined with simple hanging arrangements on shepherd’s hooks and the wooden arbor hung with shades of purple fabric and two floral swags. Despite the downpour - they still looked stunning for the evening and were a popular photo backdrop.

I love couples who provide me a vision - maybe just a feeling or a color - and let me choose the best flowers for the season and make their dreams come true.

Grateful for these images captured by my friend - Koo Chung Photography

A Romantic Affair

The Brinton Museum

May 21, 2019 by myca in Bouquets, Destination Wedding, flowers, Wedding, Reception

These two might look familiar -Molly and Andre’ modeled for our 2018 Rocky Mountain Bride photo shoot in the summer and I had the honor of creating flowers for their romantic and glamorous wedding in the fall at The Brinton Museum. The day was unexpectedly snowy and absolutely gorgeous.

We loaded the tables with sweet clusters of roses - sweetly named Hearts! Handfuls of petals and so many candles completed the tables and the room was practically glowing when all lit for the evening. The groom’s mother provided individual paintings on miniature canvases for each guest and after setting up we toured the room to find our favorites.

I usually keep a few houseplants around with interesting textures and leaves to help fill in when making these little beauties and everyone so far is a huge fan of the brass flower cuffs instead of traditional wrist corsages. That little variegated leaf comes from an ivy that hangs in our playroom most of the year and makes me so happy.

Molly requested something romantic with an Italian countryside twist. I used cotinus, PeeGee hydrangeas and the ever lovely blushing bride protea in her bouquet.

Keeping it hot while the snow flies!

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…

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!

Polo Club and Powder Horn transformation

Big Horn Equestrian Center

April 04, 2019 by myca in Destination Wedding, flowers, Wedding, Reception

These flowers did double duty for a weekend long wedding celebration here in Sheridan, WY. The entire weekend was coordinated by the talented ladies from Cloud 9 Wedding Planners from Denver, CO and they helped us pull these events off without a hitch. The talented Alissa Ferullo Photography captured the details beautifully!

We started with rustic birch containers filled with textured, variegated greenery, curly willow and flowers in shades of blue and white. The moody weather on a Thursday evening at the Big Horn Equestrian Center provided the perfect backdrop for the rehearsal dinner provided by Kiwi Catering.

After the guests moved onto their next party, we returned to collect the pieces for a refresh at the studio. They made a new appearance a few days later with bright pops of yellow added for the wedding day brunch hosted at the Powder Horn Country Club. We mixed the arrangements with a series of fun bottles using the same colors and flowers to fill up the room.
