Prairie Inspired Jewel Toned Wedding


Nate & Sabre

In an elegant affair at the Brinton Museum near Sheridan, Wyoming, a paleontologist and museum curator say "I do," infusing their special day with the allure of prehistory. Amidst dinosaurs and prehistoric flora, guests find themselves in an inviting atmosphere where prairie-inspired jewel tones and earthy colors create a fun and enchanting ambiance. As the couple exchanged vows under a copper arch, towering trees, and amongst lush ferns, their love story unfolded in a celebration as timeless as the fossils.

Sabre found her dream dress at The Bridal Collection,  Denver, and her ladies wore Birdy Grey dresses in a color of their choice including sage green, terracotta, dusty blue, taupe, and rosewood.

Nate’s wedding party included his sister as Best Woman among his dearest friends. They wore dress pants in tan to brown tones with white shirts, suspenders in varied earth tones, and handmade bolo ties created by the groom.

We had a collection of prairie-inspired bud vases for their reception with simple flowers and grasses, potted plants with various ferns, succulents, and ancient Cycads. We used simple terracotta cylinder pots and gold dinosaur planters to honor their love for fossils. Sweet Tia’s made the most incredible macarons for their dessert table instead of cake!

Congratulations!


Elegant & Bright - A Wedding in White & Blue

Hanna & Kade

These two sweethearts met in the Midwest and made a home together in the heart of Sheridan, WY. They brought that St Louis flair to the Wild West and hosted a beautiful wedding at the Brinton Museum in July. Here's a fun fact: We live on the same street!

Wyoming Wedding Photographer Cassie Madden captured all the thoughtful details Laura from Forever West Weddings & Events curated for this couple.

Besides their elegant flowers in white and pale blue, my favorite moment might have been their custom escort wall, complete with watercolor renditions of their favorite places.

Follow along for a complete vendor list and all the flower magic below.

Here’s the incredible team who brought the magic for this late July wedding in Sheridan, WY.

The bride and her best friends stayed at a charming downtown Sheridan AirBnb with amazing lighting and fun details for photographs while getting ready.

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.

For their reception under the tent, we used a mix of centerpieces including delicate bud vases with garden roses in white and larger arrangements in white ceramic vases. She provided LED candles in blue and white with silver candle sticks and votives to complete the look.

Congratulations!

A Boho Wedding in Rust & Jewel Tones

Intimate ~ Beautiful ~ Fun

These sweethearts planned an epic party at the Big Horn Equestrian Center near Sheridan, WY, for their June wedding with all their friends. We combined fresh and dried elements for their wedding flowers, full of boho-inspired warm jewel tones in rust, mustard, mauve, and emerald green.

She wore an incredible dress by Luce Sposa - The Elvis Dress with the most airy details. The bridal party wore a collection of mixed dresses from Baltic Born, and the men sported fresh, light-colored suits.

Our snow-topped Big Horn Mountains put on a show for their wedding day, and I love every image and detailed captured by Wyoming wedding photographer Kaylie Sirek.

The bridal parties stayed in luxurious rentals at The Powder Horn. They provided plenty of space and great locations for getting ready photos and are just a short drive from their wedding and reception venue at the Big Horn Equestrian Center in Big Horn, WY.

I created a garden-style bouquet in muted tones of rust, mauve, mustard, and emerald with garden roses, ruffled carnations, deep green foliage, and dried pampas grass.

Their ceremony took place on the polo fields under a hexagon arch with x-back chairs from Powder River Party Rentals. I created an asymmetrical floral piece in their muted jewel-tones with dried palm fronds and pampas grass to frame the space.

We had a combination design for their reception with long and low centerpieces in wooden boxes on long tables paired with rust or emerald-colored table runners and some DIY dried bud vases on their round tables. They included some antler sheds and loose greenery for a faux garland effect.

They partied the night away under the lights over the patio and ate Sheridan’s best pie from Hetty’s Pizza.

Congratulations

A Rust & Peach Wedding at Born in a Barn

Thoughtful ~ Inclusive ~ Cozy

Cloie & Tucker’s wedding day was everything they described and planned for. Each detail was thoughtfully chosen, and their cozy setting made each guest feel welcome. Their sage, peach, rust, and terracotta color palette came to life with ruffly roses and textured garden details.

Cloie wore an Anna Kara in silk chiffon with floral appliqués from Jasmine Lilly Bridal in Bozeman. Her sister and maid of honor wore a satin dress in Eucalyptus from Azazie with the Groom, and his brothers wore crisp white shirts and khaki pants. Their choice of a small, intimate bridal party made for the easiest and calm day with family by their sides.  

After growing up watching weddings from her front window, Cloie walked down the aisle under the amazing trees at Born in a Barn to marry her love under an arch he designed and built just for their wedding day. Wyoming Wedding Photographer Cassie Madden captured all the gorgeous details.

I’ve been itching to make a floral pocket square for a groom and finally got my chance with Tucker with peach ranunculus, earthy spray roses and small dried details.

Their reception took place in the well loved Barn and was filled with cozy seating around the dance floor and tables scattered about for guests. The bride’s grandmother created a host of terrariums and potted succulents in a variety of vessels and we scattered simple bud vases and loose greenery along the tables to complete the design.

Congratulations!

A June Wildflower Wedding in White & Yellow

Demi & James

I ask every couple to rate how important flowers for their event are on a scale of 1 (meh) to 10 (heck, YES). Demi responded with a resounding 11 and we set off on an adventure planning her dream wedding flowers with Forever West Weddings & Events by our side.

She and James planned a weekend celebration at the beloved HF Bar Ranch and invited their nearest and dearest to join them.

Sarah Averill, a Wyoming wedding photographer, captured all the gorgeous details and their sweet love.

Demi let her ladies choose their dress style and color within her floral-filled yellow theme, and the result was stunning. Each friend wore her personal favorite with character and sweet details. Her dress came from Emma & Grace Bridal Studio and was designed by Pronovias. Hair & Makeup by Tanya finished their looks for the wedding day with their beauty shining through.

As we all know, June can be a fickle month in Wyoming and this day was no exception. We designed their ceremony florals under sunny skies with clouds peeping over the mountain peaks. After a short and intense rain delay, their ceremony occurred under stunning evening skies.

Linden House sourced incredible pieces for dinner hosted on the covered porch at the ranch house, bringing Demi’s blue-plated dreams to life. We paired delicate blooms in white, yellow, and pale pink with tapered candles for a dreamy evening over food with their loved ones.

The couple stole away immediately the ceremony for some portraits together and Demi traded her long veil for a petite flower crown with ranunculus and chamomile.

Congratulations!
