Sage & Burgundy Mountain Wedding

Magical ~ Foresty ~ Natural

Sara & Zach met in college, and eventually, the friendship built in those early years turned into something more. They were married at the top of the Bighorn Mountains, and their wedding was inspired by the forest and natural beauty of Wyoming, with colors in burgundy and sage green and pheasant feathers to accent their flowers.

Sheridan, WY wedding photographer Cassie Madden Photography captured all the gorgeous details and utter joy of their wedding.

Wyoming High Country Lodge provided the perfect space for their guests with rustic charm, views for days, and some moose that added extra excitement to their ceremony.

The bride wore a gorgeous dress with lace overlay from Belle en Blanc in Billings while her ladies each picked their favorite Birdygrey dress in burgundy. The groom and wedding party men sported classic black suits with burgundy ties and pocket squares.

Sara’s bouquet was filled with garden roses in ivory, burgundy, and blush, along with various eucalyptus, blooming calycina, and some wild burgundy amaranth from my garden. The couple provided me with feathers from their pheasant hunting adventures.

They opted for simple DIY centerpieces with floating candles in white placed on wood slices and surrounded by loose eucalyptus—the perfect, easy decor for this rustic location.

If you’re looking for wildflower inspiration for your Wyoming destination wedding, here you go! I can’t wait to hear which one is your favorite and how they might inspire your own day.

Their ceremony took place on the elegant lawns at the Brinton Museum under a simple arch from Powder River Party Rentals. I added soft, ivory draping and white and pale blue flowers with lots of greenery. We framed the aisle with white pillars topped with simple green ferns.

Elegance in White: Timeless Charm of White Weddings

Whether against the picturesque backdrop of Wyoming's mountains or in a bustling cityscape, white weddings exude a classic charm that transcends trends. As a florist in rural Wyoming with city roots, I understand the allure of white blooms against the rugged landscapes, creating a harmony between nature and sophistication.

Destination weddings, particularly in Wyoming, embrace the versatility of white. Whether amid the rustic charm of the countryside or the refined ambiance of a town affair, the purity of white creates an atmosphere that can be fancy or casual. The snowy Big Horn Mountains provide a stunning canvas for couples seeking a mountain wedding, turning the celebration into a breathtaking masterpiece.

In the world of weddings, white is not just a color—it's a symbol of enduring love and everlasting beauty. A white wedding is not a trend; it's a timeless celebration of the purest emotions and the promise of a lifetime together.

Here are some of my favorites from the Whirly Girl Flowers archive featuring white. Tell me which you love too!
