A Wyoming Wildflower Wedding in July

September 10, 2020 by myca in Bouquets, Destination Wedding, Reception, Wedding

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!

A Blustery June Wedding at the Brinton

The Brinton Museum

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.

Congratulations!

A wild golden bower - November wedding in Burgundy and Gold

Holy Name Catholic Church

These lovebirds planned a November wedding - a brave thing for Wyoming where the weather could be sunny or snowy. They were given a beautiful weekend with crisp and bright weather. After their wedding at Holy Name Catholic Church, they hosted family and friends at the historic WYO Theater.

They requested deep tones of burgundy and pops of yellow. Megan loves eucalyptus, and I was more than happy to include some extra fun textures. Her bouquet included roses, spray roses, and golden ranunculus. Her hair comb might be the best I’ve ever made.

Braidyn Looper came from her new home in Hawaii to capture their wedding and sweet love here in Sheridan, WY.

Equestrian Center Inspiration

Big Horn Equestrian Center

Making magic with friends and creating something simply because it is a great exercise. When Ashley reached out and asked if I wanted to jump in on a styled shoot at The Big Horn Equestrian Center with Cassie Madden, I enthusiastically said yes!

With an equestrian theme and colors in deep pink, pale blue, and gold accents, I was ready to make the perfect bouquet and something dramatic for the table. With some fancy garden roses, oats to wave in the breeze, and some crabapple branches from my front yard, I loved what came out of the creative practice.

The week before our shoot, I was at a local jeweler to have some work done on my wedding ring. While there, a guy giddy with excitement was picking up an engagement ring for a proposal on the mountain. Low and behold, they were our models! Their joy and love are evident in the images captured by Cassie.

This shoot was featured in Rocky Mountain Bride V5, available online and in print nationally at Barnes & Noble.
