Romantic Ranch Styled Shoot

Transporting the essence of a wild west elopement into a styled shoot, I planned this creative day with friend and fellow wedding vendor Mandy of MC Picture Co. We curated a breathtaking elopement shoot on her family ranch that seamlessly blended rugged romance with refined elegance.

The groom epitomized Western charm, donning a burgundy velvet jacket complemented by a classic black cowboy hat. Adding a touch of rustic elegance, the bride graced the scene in a reclaimed vintage dress, a testament to sustainability. She completed her look with vibrant red boots, infusing a bold and adventurous flair into her ensemble.

The floral arrangements, featuring delicate sweetpeas and exotic Anthurium, complemented the untamed setting, creating a visual feast for the eyes. This styled shoot celebrated love against the rugged backdrop of Wyoming and embraced sustainable fashion, making it a unique and unforgettable Wild West-inspired elopement.

I’ll always be a fan of men with flowers, this image takes the cake for my favorite shot EVER.

A Brinton Museum Elopement - Styled Shoot

Any chance to flower with friends at a favorite venue is a dream. When Ashley called to see if I wanted to play and create for the 2021 Wyoming edition of Rocky Mountain Bride - I jumped at the opportunity.

We chose to play off of the natural colors at The Brinton Museum and the rammed earth wall that anchors the space with pops of blue and white.

I used tweedia, spirea, and panda anemones along with orange butterfly ranunculus, delphinium, and other textural elements to create a lush and wild centerpiece for their elopement dinner table and a Spring inspired bridal bouquet.

The weather was wet and windy the day of our shoot and instead of setting up outside as planned, we made a cozy spot near the Bistro upstairs and made the most of it.

ENJOY!

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!

A white wedding in June

View fullsize

While these two live in South Dakota, they returned to Banner, Wy for a woodland wedding hosted at a family property. Their ceremony was held in a riverside meadow, surrounded by towering Aspens, and accompanied by the calls of woodpeckers.

For their June destination wedding day in classic white, we used giant, ruffly peonies, garden roses, and accented with fresh rosemary.

The bride wore a Lillian West lace dress with bell sleeves and a criss-cross back detail. Her maids wore champagne-colored dresses while the men wore 3-piece suits in black.

The day was captured by the excellent team from Natural Escape Photography.

A Jewel-toned October Wedding

I love color and knowing that these two wanted a jewel-toned wedding and lots of color made my heart sing a little. It’s not often I get to play with deep reds, purples, and rusty tones for wedding work.

They were married on a glorious October day and Dani Jerry Photography from Buffalo, Wy captured all the glorious love and color.

2020 threw us all for a loop, including a freakishly early frost in early September here in Wyoming. I had planned to include locally grown dahlias in all the arrangements as they’re a favorite of the bride but come October, not a stems was to be found. Thankfully my Denver growers came through with a handful of stems for her bridal bouquet.

Her bridal bouquet included Blueberry and Hearts roses, bronze amaranth, blue thistle, burgundy dahlias, and a few jewel-toned anemones and ranunculus with fragrant bay leaves. Let’s take a deep breath and imagine for a moment?

Due to the pandemic, they changed plans from a larger party to an intimate dinner at the home of the Bride’s family. As a result, we switched their DIY centerpieces to lush, jewel-toned centerpieces in gold vases. These graced the tables at home for dinner.

The Cake Chix from Sheridan, WY provided a spectacular cake and adorned it with flowers to coordinate with the centerpieces and bouquets.
