A Mountain Inspired May Wedding

Jessica & Jon

met and fell in love at the foot of the Big Horn Mountains, so it was only fitting they say “I Do” with the mountains in view. They planned a day full of romantic and mountain-inspired details with flowers in blush, sage and pale blue that showed off the best May offers with peonies, garden roses, and ranunculus.

Jessica wore a dress from Madi Lane Bridal, and her ladies wore a mix of dusty rose dresses from Birdy Grey.

Rylee Marie Photography captured all the beauty at The Brinton Museum for this sweet couple. Enjoy!

Congratulations!

A Little Bit of Italy for a Wyoming Rehearsal Dinner

When Anthony’s mom reached out to see if I could bring her vision to life for a rehearsal dinner at the HF Bar Ranch, I couldn’t help but give an enthusiastic YES.

The dinner was hosted in the old dance hall, strung with twinkle lights and overseen by ranch legends from the walls above.

Their multi-course Italian dinner was accompanied by candlelight, lush olive foliage, and so much joy.

Lindley Rust Photography captured all the magic with planning and execution by Sacred Rim Event Planning.

A Western Wedding in Rust & sage

Anthony and I met working at HF Bar Ranch the summer of 2012. We landed at the foot of the Bighorn Mountains in a welcoming “dude ranch” community of staff, guests, and plenty of four-legged friends (horses, dogs, pigs, and even a donkey!) We fell hard for each other that first summer, and I went home with sore ribs from all the dips on the dance floor.

Anthony and I fell in love the old-fashioned way- quality time together- fishing, dancing, flirting in the dining hall, and driving down dusty dirt roads with music blaring and the windows down.

Our future together was uncertain, and we went through a significant period apart. Until we were back, better than ever, and Anthony asked me to marry him.

 Inspired by Priya Parker's “The Art of Gathering,” Anthony and I crafted a Purpose Statement for our wedding. It went something like this:

•           To lovingly celebrate our life-long commitment to each other with a small group of our closest friends and family. These humans bring out the very best in us and represent the people we want to build our future alongside. 

•           To create an intimate sense of community and foster meaningful connections among our guests.

Bringing this Purpose Statement to life did not just magically happen; it took intentional planning. Amidst the wedding planning process, we were also working with a coach who guided us through a process of getting to know ourselves and building who we wanted to be together. It was not always easy, but it was worth it. This values-driven process became our anchor for navigating both our relationship and wedding planning.

During her year of wedding planning, Hanna also launched her own Mindfulness & Coaching practice, Soul Trust Ignite. Through individual, couple, and group sessions, she helps ignite your soul to find optimal wellness by developing a deeper relationship with yourself. After our lovely wedding planning process, we talked about her dream of a couples program focusing on communication, values, and purpose.

My decision to build “Commit” – a coaching program for committed partnerships preparing for life together – came from our own experience diving into our relationship as we simultaneously planned our wedding. The more we examined ourselves and uncovered each other, the more clarity we had on what we wanted the rest of our life to feel like. I am thrilled to be able to provide coaching support for couples to amplify their existing love and to dig deep into their relationship goals and evolutions.  

---

She’s hosting a free, 45-minute event on Thursday, February 9th, 2023, at 5 PM Mountain time. This will be a fun and engaging way to learn more about Hanna as a coach and facilitator and to see if this program may be a good fit for you and your partner.

For all my friends and couples planning to build a life together with their partner, I highly recommend you meet Hanna and see what she can offer!

Easy DIY Centerpieces For Your Wedding Reception

Captured by Aundrea Marie Photography

I think we can all agree that flowers are … expensive. After 13 years in the industry, I’m still shocked at my flower bill after submitting my order. Often, my clients who LOVE flowers seek ways to bring flower magic and use their resources wisely.

In our studio, we believe that flowers are far from fleeting. Because, as an art form, they carry the emotive depth of our love stories that make them worth telling in the present moment and forever after.

As a result, I love pairing designer bouquets and personal flowers created with my years of experience with a custom-built DIY bulk flower order.

I do all the hard work of choosing flowers and foliage to fit your vision and order precisely what you need. You come 1-2 days before your wedding to collect your flowers and make simple but beautiful centerpieces with some of your favorite people before the wedding.

Real wedding: Eaton’s Ranch, Cassie Madden Photography

You don’t have to worry about sourcing or receiving or ordering the right amount. And BONUS - it all matches your designer bouquets for a cohesive look throughout your day. No grocery story roses and and babies breath here.

Curious what this might look like at your event? See real examples below from past Whirly Girl Flower clients who ordered a custom DIY package to go with their floral studio crafted bouquets. My custom and artful approach to creating ensures that no design is the same. Because, we believe that’s how it should be; professional, personal and wildly you. 

Real Wedding!

This late summer collection was created by the bride and friends the day before her wedding hosted at the Brinton Museum near Sheridan, WY. We used glorious late summer dahlias, foxglove, ranunculus, and peachy roses along with several types of eucalyptus to fill their amber glass bottles.

Looking for a simple loose greenery look or a collection of bud vases and bottles? We can make your simple wedding flower dreams come true. I can promise they won’t be boring.
