Trendy new montana wedding idea, rustic elegance

Have you ever completely fallen in love with a magazine spread of a beautifully set table, ripped it out of the magazine, and taken it to your wedding planner, only to be disappointed in how much it will cost you per table? 

My job as a designer is to pull something together that I know you will love, in a price point you can afford.  Not everyone can afford exactly what jumps out at them from a magazine, but don't be discouraged, use that photograph as a tool to give your florist or planner inspiration....

The following perspective was beautifully photographed by Morgan Lamare.  Lauren Brown also shot this table, and I will unveil her perspective later in a photographer comparison shoot!  

I love the old post vases that I have custom made here in Ennis, MT.  They fit small blooms perfectly and don't cost a lot to make a large impact.

Styling shoot....creating a memorable montana wedding

I recently had the privileged of doing a styling shoot at the Double T River Ranch with a fist full of talented event professionals.  My goal for this styling shoot was to show a table, beautifully set, in three different versions.  Here is a bit of that hard work in action. I will price each look out in a future post.  You can see by each photo, the use of different materials.

 

First Look: The Bouquet

Rarely do I get to see the big moment when my bride first sees her bouquet...this is largely due to the details I am tending to at the reception site or putting the finishing touches on the ceremony.  I love to make my brides bouquets as it leaves my signature on the event and is one of my most favorite things to do!

Nicole married the love of her life, Alex, two weekends ago at Chico Hot Springs.  You may remember the engagement shoot that I posted a while back.  Here are some priceless images from Morgan Lamare showing the "first look" of her bridal bouquet!
