A September jewel-tone wedding

This is a love story 17 years in the making. These two sweethearts met when they were just 7 but started their romance in their 20s and were married on a warm September day full of joy.

They planned an elegant bohemian-styled day with their families in Colorado Springs. Full of deep jewel tones and delicate details, we brought all of the bride's favorite colors to the table and simple potted ferns to complete the look.

Audrey requested a gently cascading bouquet, and we added delicate ferns to match the pattern on her stunning Maggie Sottero dress. Eric was born in New Zealand, and his only request for the wedding was a nod to his favorite plant - a New Zealand fern.

All the beauty of the day was captured by award-winning wedding photographer Adonye Jaja of Denver, CO.

Their bridal party wore mixed dresses from Baltic Born and simple grey vests for the men.

Their reception took place under a clear top tent filled with the famous Colorado sunshine. We topped their wooden farm tables with a collection of items including birch logs, potted ferns, hand-thrown, farmhouse style bud vases and lush, low centerpieces packed with flowers in mustard, rust, yellow, deep purples, salmon and deep red. A twist on the traditional jewel-tones with a nod towards the end of summer and more muted tones.

The bride included all her little nieces as a flower girl posse. They wore mixed dresses in warm jewel tones with gold sandles and carried mini bouquets.

Congratulations!

A Powder Horn Wedding in Sage & Pink

Jessen and Randy live in the big city but have a love for Sheridan, WY, and the Big Horns. They several times a year to relax and recharge so it only made sense to plan their destination wedding at the Powder Horn where they spend perfect summer days golfing together. Despite the challenges of planning and hosting an event during the pandemic, they had a relaxed and fun day together with the people they love and became Mr and Mrs under towering trees on a warm August afternoon.

I got to work with the Sheridan Vendor dream team for this event and am so grateful for the collaboration!

Jessen asked for a wild and full floral piece to surround a large elk rack attached to their arbor. I filled it with eucalyptus, blush larkspur, and roses. In my pursuit of more sustainable floristry practices, I built an armature of chicken wire filled with discarded leaves to anchor the flowers on the arch. It was nearly 100* while I was setting up the flowers which is always difficult and concerning with a fresh product and no water source. They all got a good misting and final spray before I left and they held up perfectly for the ceremony.

They hosted an outdoor reception on a tented patio, combining more rustic elements of birch centerpieces filled with roses in ivory and blush with rose-gold glamour in table mirrors and votives.

Congratulations!
