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!


A prairie meets mountain wedding

These two grew up in Sheridan but fell in love while living on the East Coast. They came home for a celebration with their families and friends for a late summer wedding with a mountain and prairie theme. With lavender and dried prairies grass as our color scheme, I had free reign to bring in all the lovely textures August has to offer. 

It was a treat to wander a piece of property owned by the bride's family and pick native grasses and other local greenery to mix into her bouquet. In all, the bridal bouquet featured over 20 different flowers, grasses and other greenery including lisianthus, Sahara roses and eucalyptus. 

They hosted a sweet ceremony on the Polo Fields at the Big Horn Equestrian Center followed by dinner and dancing under the lights. Even with the heavy wildfire smoke in the background the day was a beauty.
