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.

Valentine's Day flowers for Sheridan

Meet the Ranunculus Club

Seven years ago, I brought a few bunches of ranunculus to my very first pop-up and 💥💃🏻! A love affair I never saw coming started in Sheridan, Wyoming. During the pandemic, a friend asked if I could get flowers, and before we knew it, I started a thing. Every spring, I source the best ranunculus I can find (USA-grown when possible), and that love affair with ranunculus continues.

The Details:

• Review the schedule (see below)

• Pick your dates and # of bunches

• Prepay via Venmo or Quickbooks invoice

• Pickup at my Sheridan Studio

• Colors are first-come, first-served

I send out reminders to those who are signed up each week with pickup details and instructions. Each bunch comes from the farm and usually has 10 stems. They’re wrapped and ready to brighten your home or office. You can leave them as a large bunch in a vase or spread them out in several bud vases around the house - my personal favorite with a few for my bedside, bathroom counter, and desk.

This year, we’re kicking off the club with a very special Galentine’s event at Wyld Adventures with a group of incredible creatives. You can pick up your bunch of ranunculus (pre-order to guarantee availability), enjoy a BYOB, and browse all the goodies. You find thoughtfully sourced plants from the Green Buffalo and hand-crafted jewelry from B.Butterfield Metalworks, along with so many others. You can find all the details here and let us know you’re coming here.

Do you still have questions? I’m all ears, let’s chat! The only thing I love more than flowers is TALKING about flowers. Don’t be shy. 🥰😘😘 Want to join my favorite club?

Wildflower-Inspired Weddings in Wyoming

As someone who fell in love with the man I would later marry and the great state of Wyoming during a June wildflower flush in the Big Horn Mountains, it’s no surprise to me that “wildflower-inspired” is one of the top descriptions clients give me when talking about their wedding flowers. Whether they’re planning a super elegant and classy day with a limited color palette or a more casual event with a riot of color, I’m ready to make those flower dreams come true.

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.

A Wyoming Elopement in May

Happy - Fun - Day

Connor and Joe planned an intimate late Spring elopement with their nearest and dearest at the historic Eaton’s Ranch in Wolf, Wyoming, and followed up with a big party in August with all their friends. I was honored to bring the flower magic to both events, and we picked a colorful palette that transitioned from late Spring to late summer using loads of local beauty.

Her May bouquet was filled with ruffled peonies in white and pinks, ranunculus, and scabiosa. It was romantic, soft, and full of all the magic spring flowers bring to the party.

A little love for this slice of heaven, the misty mountains and incredible lilacs captured on their day before all the flower magic.

Their daughter carried a miniature bouquet and wore a little flower crown in pinks and white.

Stay tuned for their incredible parties in August and all the flowers to come!
