Eclectic Southwest

This shoot will forever be an all-time favorite. Our bohemian and southwestern inspired look was featured in the Rocky Mountain Bride magazine summer issue. We partnered with many of our favorite vendors from Bozeman in the most beautiful setting near Yellowstone National Park. The Under Canvas tent setup was so cool to see in person and we would recommend it for a fun camping getaway, event or wedding. 

We were inspired by the bright and bold colors of an authentic Mexican blanket when dreaming up the design for this shoot. We wanted to combine bright fun colors from the Mexican southwestern vibe along with wheat, greenery and natural accents from Yellowstone Montana. We couldn’t have been more thrilled with how everything came together. One of the things we love the most is being able to choose the vendors we want to work with. We believe that when you all understand the overall design concept and you allow the vendors creative freedom to interpret the design on their own, that is when the magic happens. 

Check out the photos below, we were blown away by the florals, lounge furniture and super fun cake. You can also find this beauty in print in the Rocky Mountain Bride Montana Summer issue.

Modern Muse

Modern muse was inspired by blending industrial art and feminine styles together. Haven, an art gallery in Casper, plays host to this modern yet romantic day designed by yours truly. 

Canary yellow, blush, and ivory soft silks paired with copper metal accents and natural wood textures were the inspiration behind this styled shoot. We wanted to bring in a soft romantic vibe to a space filled with concrete and metal textures to complete the look. 

Let your wedding day showcase who you two are as a couple! Take the things and styles that you love and blend them to create something unique to you both! Your wedding day is all about your love story, so capture it with the elements that define you! 

Thank you to the incredible vendors involved!!

Set the Soiree

There's always an excuse for a dinner party, especially this time of year. Family gatherings, Friendsgiving, holiday parties. It's all about friends and family coming together to eat, drink and connect. 

We set out to design three different table settings with connection in mind. Whether it comes to planning a wedding, throwing a dinner party, or styling an event we strive to showcase love and connection. Nothing hits home more than supporting local businesses and connecting with other likeminded individuals in our community. 

The three concepts we designed were A Global Setting, Minimalist Minded and Local is The New Black.

• A Global Setting was inspired by African and Peruvian textiles from Jamie Lauren Designs. We wanted to showcase a bright, laid back table setting that would look great in a friend's back yard.
• Minimalist Minded was inspired by the beautiful clay pieces from Two Hands Full. We wanted to showcase a grey and ivory pallet with pops of color and texture from different food items.
• Lastly, our favorite table Local is The New Black was created with a local, foraged, dark and moody pallet. We wanted to show that using dark rich colors with wild florals can be insanely beautiful. 

At the end of the day, we hope to inspire you all at home to invite your friends and family over for some delicious local food and to remember that love is the most important thing. Let's also not forget about food, because let's face it, food is the bomb. 

Thank you to all of the incredible vendors involved!

The Avant-Garde Groom

Whiskey. Cigars. Handsome Men. Edgy Style. 

We are constantly pushing our clients to be who they are and let their personalities shine on their wedding day. We truly believe that the union of two people should reflect who those two people are at the core. We seek a less traditional approach that usually leads to a very intimate, unique and personal experience for the couple and their wedding guests. 

We want to encourage grooms to take a more unique approach to their wedding day attire. Throw the traditional or lackadaisical attitude out the window guys. Let’s bring more style to your wedding day attire, because hey, it’s your day too. Wear a suit jacket that isn’t the exact same color as your slacks, wear a felt hat, un tuck your shirt, scrap wearing a tie, be bold by wearing bold colors, grow out your beard, smoke a cigar, drink some whiskey, show your tattoos and let’s celebrate your love for your beautiful bride.

A Garden Love Affair

Highlands Ranch Mansion is a dream venue for any bride looking to relive her 5 year old wedding day fantasies. We came together with Ali & Garrett Photography, Park Floral Design, and other amazing vendors to create this modern fairytale. 

Bright pops of color in the florals and vintage rentals from House of Yonder brought the tangy, fun, spring elements. We absolutely adored working with Ashley Swapp from Park Floral Design. Her creations are unbelievably stunning. 

Organic, vintage with a modern twist, romantic, farm-to-table, and bright pops of color were the driving factors behind the styling of this shoot. Given the main themes, the vendors were then asked to interpret and create their own vision. After all, we LOVE seeing what people create when they are given the freedom to do so. We could have not been happier with the way our vision was brought to life. A huge thank you to the talented Ali Brannan of Ali & Garrett Photography. The way the light is captured in these oh so romantic photos warms our hearts. 

Thank you to all the amazing and talented vendors who were involved!!
