A Blustery June Wedding at the Brinton

These sweethearts planned a beautiful June wedding at The Brinton Museum. The second weekend in June is a fickle little window - it can be 90* and sunny baking every new green shoot or blustery and cold with freezing rain pounding the ground. While everyone hopes for something balmy and right in the middle, we battled strong winds and frigid rain while setting up their wedding. 

Unexpected weather is just one reason hiring the right vendor team is essential. While Megan and John got dressed, had their first look, and welcomed their guests, the staff at the Brinton hustled to empty an entire gallery and set up seating for their guests inside. 

Realizing no weather could dampen their love, these two said their "I do's" inside the museum and then moved to the tent for a reception with their friends. Thankfully the rain cleared, and Alexyane Palmer Photography captured them in front of the freshly dusted Big Horn Mountains. 

At their request, I included a number of feathers that John had harvested and saved for their wedding. Beautiful, long pheasant tail feathers were added to their bouquets and centerpieces and shorter feathers to boutonnières. Adding these little personalized elements was fun and the first of many times I included feathers in 2020. Bouquets featured ruffled white peonies and ranunculus along with eucalyptus and perfect spirea.

Congratulations!
