A Wyoming Wildflower Wedding in July

These two met and fell in love in the Big Horn Mountains so it was only fitting to become Mr. and Mrs. in the place where it all started. Angelica and Alec planned a laid back week-long celebration at Paradise Ranch outside of Buffalo, WY. A Whirly Girl Flowers first - they were married on a Monday afternoon in the gorgeous chapel on the ranch and partied into the evening with a gourmet meal from Bonafide Food. The entire magical day was captured by the talented Cassie Madden from Sheridan, WY.

We used the glorious early summer meadows of Wyoming as inspiration for their wildflower themed day. The groom provided delicate and intricate feathers for the boutonnieres which complimented his custom-made feather bowtie from Twin-M Design.

The groom made me 24 matching cedar boxes for these pieces. They lined the windows in the chapel for the ceremony and then moved to decorate the tables in the gazebo for dinner. We used a few pheasant feathers to bring a little extra magic to the design and I’m in love with the look!

Cheers to move adventures, more travel, and a love that endures!

A Blustery June Wedding at the Brinton

These sweethearts planned a beautiful June wedding at The Brinton Museum. The second weekend in June is a fickle little window - it can be 90* and sunny baking every new green shoot or blustery and cold with freezing rain pounding the ground. While everyone hopes for something balmy and right in the middle, we battled strong winds and frigid rain while setting up their wedding. 

Unexpected weather is just one reason hiring the right vendor team is essential. While Megan and John got dressed, had their first look, and welcomed their guests, the staff at the Brinton hustled to empty an entire gallery and set up seating for their guests inside. 

Realizing no weather could dampen their love, these two said their "I do's" inside the museum and then moved to the tent for a reception with their friends. Thankfully the rain cleared, and Alexyane Palmer Photography captured them in front of the freshly dusted Big Horn Mountains. 

At their request, I included a number of feathers that John had harvested and saved for their wedding. Beautiful, long pheasant tail feathers were added to their bouquets and centerpieces and shorter feathers to boutonnières. Adding these little personalized elements was fun and the first of many times I included feathers in 2020. Bouquets featured ruffled white peonies and ranunculus along with eucalyptus and perfect spirea.

A Vineyard Wedding at Lake Chelan in Navy

When Christina contacted me about her September wedding at Karma Vineyards overlooking Lake Chelan in Washington, I couldn’t wait to start planning. She wanted their wedding to be glamorous with the ladies in navy gowns and the men in classic black suits. Her vision included long tables with fluffy white flowers and minimal greenery spread under the bistro lights during their ceremony. 

We used loads of white hydrangea, roses, ranunculus, and lisianthus to pull off this polished look along with dozens of candles. 

Surrounded by their families and treasured friends, they said, ‘I do’ on a bluff overlooking the lake and followed with a party under the lights in the vineyard. The entire evening was magical.
