Alder & Root Photography beautifully captured the rich autumn hues, luxe details, and cozy vibes of the day in their timeless, organic, and earthy style. Blue Tie Productions brought the stunning setting and inviting atmosphere to life with a dynamic, creatively crafted video that included a scenic aerial view of the surrounding landscape.
Express Printing brought a modern, rugged elegance to the stationery and signage with a textural, nature-forward design that instantly transported guests to the serenity of the outdoors. The invitation suite featured a leather envelope containing a square invitation, a rich teal accommodations card, and a response card wrapped in a leather cord.
Using illustrative details like a mountain landscape envelope liner, earthy design motifs, and natural elements, Express Printing continued their adventure-inspired designs to the reception table and ceremony. Place cards and table numbers were displayed in stone holders, and layered menus were placed by each seat.
Crimson Clover Floral infused this autumnal mountain luxe design with lush, jewel-toned florals and woodsy greens, creating a natural yet impactful wedding scene. A stunning, asymmetrical arrangement featuring warm fall hues and mixed foliage served as the ceremony backdrop, adding height and texture against the fireside mantel.
From the bride's bouquet and groom's boutonniere to the centerpieces and floral accents adorning the reception, each arrangement burst with color and was thoughtfully crafted in a loose, organic style. Textural elements like young birch branches, curling willow, and rich greens enhanced the colorful blooms and added fullness to each arrangement.
Charlotte's Bridal & Formal Wear ensured the bride and groom looked stunning in attire reflecting the day's elegant, natural aesthetic. The bride wore a sleek A-line gown with a subtle slit at the neckline and exposed covered boning on the bodice, adding a modern touch to the chic, timeless silhouette. A slit down the leg, along with buttons trailing down the back and train, added a sophisticated finish.
The groom's attire was equally stylish. It featured a textured gray wool vest paired with a matching tie to create a relaxed yet polished look. Paired with a crisp white shirt, black pants, and brown shoes, his ensemble effortlessly blended classic and contemporary elements for a refined, mountain-inspired vibe.
Metropolitan Salon & Spa provided the perfect finishing touches to the bride's look, styling her hair in an elegant low ponytail with soft, face-framing pieces that enhanced her natural beauty. For her makeup, they crafted a warm, smoky eye, peachy cheeks, and a soft peach lip, echoing the effortless beauty of the day.
