Wildflowers in June

After meeting and falling in love while working at the HF Bar Ranch, these lovebirds planned a laidback, boho-western destination wedding near Sheridan, WY from their home in Oregon.

Their intimate ceremony took place at Holy Name Catholic Church in Sheridan, WY followed by a reception at the Barn in Big Horn.

The bridal party wore sage green dresses and slate grey coats with blue jeans for the wedding. Inspired by the natural beauty of Wyoming wildflowers, we planned wild bouquets with vivid color and lots of texture were perfect July wedding colors.

Sarah is a talented leather artist and made her own custom bouquet wrap featuring her favorite flowers and initials. It was the perfect finish for her wildflower-inspired bouquet.

While her bouquet was inspired but the natural beauty of Wyoming wildflowers, we aren’t able to use actual wildflowers. Instead, we use this vision to influence our flower choices like asters, campanula, sweet-william, queen anne’s lace, rosemary, Craspedia, and grasses.

Congratulations!

When should you book your wedding florist?

Congratulations! You’re getting married and planning the beginning of a new life together. It can be exciting and overwhelming all at the same time. Now, onto the fun and challenging part. Who will be there? Where will you host them? How much money do you have to spend on a wedding? Do you have colors or a theme? What should everyone wear? Flowers and invitations and food and linens and photography - the list is endless.

Naturally, we’re all more excited about some parts of planning than others. Maybe it’s the food you’ll get to share. Or the music you’ll dance the night away to. Or maybe, it’s the flowers that set the tone for the entire day and bring all the pieces together.

Now, I’m not a wedding planner, but I talk to many couples about planning and have compiled a few resources to help you get started.

Rocky Mountain Bride - “I do checklist”

Brides.com The Ultimate Wedding-Planning Checklist and Timeline

Zola - Your Ultimate Wedding Planning Checklist & Timeline!

As a general rule of thumb - you should have your date and venue locked in before booking additional vendors, including your florist. This way, we can ensure availability for your date and typically happens 6-12 months before your wedding. Now if you have your heart set on a specific, vendor, checking their availability before setting a date can’t hurt. (Just know we might not provide a full proposal before you’re booked.)

The basics Whirly Girl requires for booking your date is a confirmed (under contract) venue to ensure your date and a few inspiration pictures to get an idea of what you’re dreaming of. If you have an idea of your colors or style (classic, rustic, elegant, wild) and a general idea of your guest list it’ll help.

Things you don’t need to book your florist: final numbers of pretty much anything (flower girls, boutonnieres, even guest tables). A general idea is helpful but we understand these specific details will come together as your planning continues and will be finalized 4-6 weeks ahead of your wedding.

A mountaintop wedding in green

These lovebirds planned a mountaintop ceremony at Meadowlark Ski Lodge in August. They were gifted with a gloriously sunny, bluebird day (without wildfire smoke!) surrounded by their friends and loved ones.

Jewel wanted a bouquet that had a woodsy feel, full of ferns, succulents, lots of texture, and a calming feel. I used rosemary, a giant large tillandsia xerographica air plant, and silvery protea along with eucalyptus and delicate white orchids to go with her theme of dark green and silver for their August wedding colors.

They used our customizable tiny wedding packages for their wedding, splurging on the bouquet of her dreams, a boutonniere for the groom, and a special arrangement for their reception in the lodge.

A boho wedding at the Brinton Museum

August Boho Wedding

Look no further if you’re inspired by Romantic, Boho, and Semi-Formal vibes in neutral, taupe shades and soft mauve tones.

The ladies wore mixed dresses from Revelry in styles & colors of their choosing. The men wore simple white shirts and mauve ties.

Their August wedding at the Brinton Museum was full of details crafted by family and friends and Captured by For the West & Wild Photography

The talented Dan Lee created a custom, hand-drawn welcome sign for their wedding. A boho rug in taupe tones anchored their ceremony spot under the towering trees on the lawn. A single, triangle-shaped mountain arch with two floral pieces set the stage for “I do’s” and was a great photo backdrop.

Everyone loves a good dog at a wedding.

Amanda from Manny Cakes brought the sweets, including a gorgeous cake with gold leaf, flowers, and assorted cookies.

We kept their reception decor simple and classy with boho touches. They provided candles and gold geometric pieces, while Whirly Girl Flowers added trailing loose greenery and farm-house pottery-inspired bud vases with luxe roses.

The bridal party bouquets were repurposed for their head table and provided a lush look.

The bride requested dried pampas grass and neutral flowers with muted pops of purple. The amnesia roses were the perfect shade to bring the vision to life.

Congratulations!
