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!

Magical ~ Elegant ~ Simplistic

These are the words Ashley used to describe her wedding day with Laramie.

Their June wedding day was full of moody clouds against the Big Horn Mountains and all the simple beauty she desired.

She chose a more traditional bouquet with a loosely round shape, packed with flowers in shades of pink and mauve with minimal greenery.

Her bridesmaids wore dresses in Chianti from David’s Bridal while the men wore black.

Their simple ceremony decor included hand-thrown pottery bud vases with mauve, blush, and white roses. These elegant and simple pieces were paired with candles and antlers, wooden charges, and loose greenery. The ladies’ bouquets graced the head table among the antlers and gauzy runners.

Congratulations!

Easy DIY Centerpieces For Your Wedding Reception

in , , , ,

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.

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.

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.

Your creativity can play here too as you combine personal touches to your table tops. Candles - absolutely. Runners to bring in one of your colors - definitely. Antlers you found while tromping through the woods with your love - love it.

Wildflower September Wedding

in , , , ,

Dilyn & Jonathan - They were married in the wilds of the Big Horn Mountains and skipped a bridal party to spend some time with their horses before the wedding. Their family and friends gathered around them - sans seating - for an intimate, riverside ceremony.

Dilyn wore the stunning a-line Lotus dress from Vow’d, while Jonathon donned the perfect pale blue suit with a tan hat. So very classy and perfect for their scorching hot September wedding.

Dilyn requested a wildflower-inspired bouquet full of texture and all the color I could muster. I sourced zinnias, snapdragons, and verbena, among a few other treasures, from local farms and filled in with other fine-textured items from my wholesaler. They had a series of sweet hob-nail vases filled with wildflower bouquets for their casual tent reception near Hyattsville, WY. Wyoming wedding photographer ANAFINN Photography captured all the glorious details.

A September jewel-tone wedding

in , , , ,

This is a love story 17 years in the making. These two sweethearts met when they were just 7 but started their romance in their 20s and were married on a warm September day full of joy.

They planned an elegant bohemian-styled day with their families in Colorado Springs. Full of deep jewel tones and delicate details, we brought all of the bride's favorite colors to the table and simple potted ferns to complete the look.

Audrey requested a gently cascading bouquet, and we added delicate ferns to match the pattern on her stunning Maggie Sottero dress. Eric was born in New Zealand, and his only request for the wedding was a nod to his favorite plant - a New Zealand fern.

All the beauty of the day was captured by award-winning wedding photographer Adonye Jaja of Denver, CO.

Their reception took place under a clear top tent filled with the famous Colorado sunshine. We topped their wooden farm tables with a collection of items including birch logs, potted ferns, hand-thrown, farmhouse style bud vases and lush, low centerpieces packed with flowers in mustard, rust, yellow, deep purples, salmon and deep red. A twist on the traditional jewel-tones with a nod towards the end of summer and more muted tones.
