A Cottage-Core elopement in the Big Horn Mountains
Cottage-core ~ Earthy ~ Chic
Minnesota wedding photographer Britney Moser traveled to Sheridan to capture this magical Wyoming destination wedding.
Alexandra wanted her day full of earthy textures in white and green and a little pop of yellow as a nod to her yellow diamond engagement ring.
She wore a stunning bias-cut gown from A La Robe from The Dress Theory in Seattle made from silk crepe de chine with French lace detailing. With an ivory V-neck with lace details, she looked incredible atop our favorite Big Horn Mountains.
These lovebirds planned a destination wedding in the Big Horn Mountains and a small celebration with their closest friends and family. They chose to stand up without a bridal party and her friends picked dresses in colors of blue and green to match the wedding theme.
More Wyoming Elopements!
The Whirly Way (& What to Expect)
Congratulations!

Planning a wedding is a big undertaking, not something most people do daily. Amidst the joy and excitement of engagement, dozens of decisions and choices exist. From the small to the large, you’re trying to bring everything together to shape your best day and the beginning of a new life with the one you love.
I intend to make the flower portion of planning easy, stress-free, and of course, deliver a gorgeous final product on your wedding day. Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement or a giant party, I’d love to be a part of your celebration.
Choose your adventure (& I’ll bring the flowers):
Whirly Weddings
As a full-service wedding and event design studio, we specialize in handcrafting emotive arrangements and installations for celebrations of all sizes. From grand weddings to intimate gatherings, we have the expertise, knowledge and contagious artistic expression to bring your flower dreams to fruition.

Elopements & Micro Weddings
As a Wyoming florist, we love nothing more than when our couples vow to run away together, flowers in tow! All of our elopement and micro wedding floral packages are inspired by the season, your color palette, and the feel of the day. This package is a “Yes, please” option for couples who are planning a simple yet adventurous gathering, working with a modest budget, and/or trust me to bring their vision vibrantly to life just as they deserve.
Here’s what to expect:
Step 1. You Freak Over my Art
If you’ve found yourself saving our Instagram posts, daydreaming about the Portfolio, and telling your girlfriends about Whirly Girl, this may be your sign that we’re soulmates. Don’t worry; we’re freaking out about it too!
Step 2. Flower Talk
Fill out our contact form to get this party started. To move forward with an inquiry, we do ask that you provide not only your confirmed wedding date but the venue you have under contract. Reminder - I typically book 6-12 months in advance.
Step 3. Dream in Detail
Once I confirm your wedding date is as open as the western landscapes, the dreaming begins. First, I’ll kindly prompt you to fill out our questionnaire where we will gather more information on your color scheme, vision, budget, guest count, anticipated wedding party size, and basic floral wish list (bouquets, ceremony flowers, etc).
You may not have all the answers right now, and that’s okay. We’re not expecting you to! Just provide your best guess to get started! Also if you’re using Pinterest please be sure to add me to your board (or include a link), so I can see what flowers you’re falling in love with for your day.
Step 4. Custom Estimate, Check!
After reviewing your information, I’ll provide a custom proposal for your consideration. I typically offer one estimate with a basic visual proposal before booking with a one-week expiration. If necessary, we can make one revision before booking at no cost. Once accepted, I’ll provide a contract for review and retainer details to reserve your date and services. Curious about pricing? Check out this post.
Step 5. Make Me a Match
Yay! You want to work with Whirly Girl for your wedding. Return the signed contract and retainer to reserve your date. We’ll make time to chat, discuss options in detail, and nail down specifics. I’ll also provide a schedule so you know what to expect from Whirly Girl in the coming months to make your floral dreams come true.
A Tensleep Wedding in September
Clarke & Laure
In the shadow of Wyoming's Bighorn Mountains, a special day unfolded for a couple from California who now reside in South Carolina. Their family's summer home provided the perfect backdrop for a simple, elegant wedding. They celebrated their roots with colors like navy blue and burgundy and a bouquet filled with dahlias and eucalyptus. Under a white tent at the Old Shell store, surrounded by loved ones, their love story began a new chapter. It was a day of joy, blending memories from two families into one beautiful moment, treasured by all who shared in their happiness.
Kaleigh Rust Photography captured all the love and sunshine for this September destination wedding in Tensleep, WY. Wild West Collective provided planning and rentals for their day with a reception hosted at the Old Shell Store.
Can we take a moment for this incredible bridal cape that Laure wore!!!!
Their mixed bridal party wore a combination of navy suits, and dresses in a burnt orange or navy depending on whose side they were standing on. 2023 was the year of mixed-gender wedding parties and I LOVED it.
The ceremony flowers were created with local choke-cherry branches loaded with cherries and leaves in perfectly burnished Fall colors, with amaranth and dahlias transported over the mountains from a local grower in Sheridan, WY.
These pieces were repurposed for the reception and enjoyed all evening!
Congratulations!
