Dreaming of a wedding that blends the charm of a Wisconsin countryside celebration with the elegance of a Tuscan-inspired affair? Set against the rolling hills of Tomah, Wisconsin, this wedding design at Creekside Ranch brings the best of both worlds to life to inspire your special day.

Warm, vibrant orange tones, soft peach hues, lush greenery, touches of terracotta accents, and delicate details set the scene for an Italian-influenced celebration that feels effortlessly inviting yet uniquely unforgettable.

With coordination, design, and florals by Skies the Limit Events, and in collaboration with Gert & Tog Photography, BVisions Media, BP Creationery, Southern Aprons, Brides N' Belles, A Curl's Best Friend, Makeup by Sarah Koblitz, and Resource Vintage Rental, dive into every rustically romantic and elegantly equestrian detail below as you plan your own countryside "I Do's!"



Gert & Tog Photography captured every charming detail in her light, joyful, and timeless style, while BVisions Media provided beautiful video footage of the dayallowing WedPlan to create the inspirational highlight video above.



BP Creationery elevated the celebration with thoughtfully designed stationery and signage. The invitations set the tone with a breathtaking watercolor portrait of Creekside Ranch. Printed on textured cardstock with artfully torn edges, they added an organic, natural look that carried over to the menu cards. Crafted on the same textured cardstock with matching torn edges, the menu cards were paired with a vellum paper attachment showcasing each guest's name for a personal touch.

The stunning seating chart, printed on foamboard, was displayed on one of BP Creationery's rentable backdrops and was customized in a warm, vibrant orange that seamlessly tied into the day's palette. Additionally, the table numbers and welcome sign, designed with plaster and acrylic lettering, brought further dimension, texture, and artistry to the decor.



From their design and coordination efforts to their breathtaking floral arrangements, Skies the Limit Events brought the countryside wedding vision to life. Drawing inspiration from the wood tones of the venue's barn, they curated a color palette of warm orange and peach tones that cohesively carried through the floral designs. The ceremony arch was draped with lush greenery and colorful blooms, creating a romantic and natural backdrop for the couple to say "I do."

Accent arrangements, including floral boxes on the seating chart, added warmth, natural charm, and pops of color throughout the celebration. The tablescape featured a stunning array of centerpieces and potted plants, infusing an earthy, organic touch into the decor. Each beautiful floral creation contributed to the romantic countryside atmosphere with a distinct Tuscan flair.



The bride's hair and makeup look enhanced her natural beauty while staying true to the organic elegance of the celebration. Makeup by Sarah Koblitz used soft, earthy tones to highlight the bride's features, including a smoky bronze eye enhanced with glitter and false lashes, complemented by warm contour and blush for a radiant complexion. Her lips were finished with a warm mauve-peach shade, perfectly coordinating with the floral palette.

A Curl's Best Friend embraced the bride's natural curls, creating a textured faux updo accessorized with a sparkling, vining hairpiece that matched her earrings. Using a curling iron to define and polish the curls, the stylist framed her face with a part in front, enhancing her natural texture without extensions or padding. The result was a romantic, effortless style that complemented the organic, earthy feel of the day.



Brides N' Belles outfitted the bride and groom in looks that embodied understated elegance, perfectly complementing the romantic and rustic theme of the celebration.

The bride's dress was a breathtaking fit-and-flare gown featuring delicate mesh detailing with vining embroidered and beaded accents that added intricate texture and visual interest. Exposed boning highlighted the structured silhouette, while the sweetheart neckline and low scoop back softened the look. The button-down closure extended beautifully down the flowing tulle train, completing her ensemble with a dreamy, ethereal finish that matched the day's romantic vibe.

The groom looked sharp in a classic black suit paired with a black vest and crisp white shirt. A sleek black bow tie and shoes completed his polished look, perfectly balancing with the bride's elegant gown.



Creekside Ranch was the perfect backdrop for this romantic countryside wedding. Their expansive, picturesque outdoor spaces provided a serene and organic atmosphere for the ceremony, outdoor bar, lounge space, and photos, while their tastefully finished horse barn, adorned with pine, hickory, and oak, provided an intimate, rustic space for the reception. Their hillside setting in Tomah, Wisconsin, seamlessly blended with the warm florals and natural textures of the wedding design, creating a cohesive celebration that felt elegant from beginning to end. A real horse even made an appearance for some stunning footage!



Resource Vintage Rentals elevated the rustic, stylish, and inviting atmosphere with their curated rental items throughout the celebration. Outside, their custom-made black bar was a sophisticated spot for serving drinks, while the outdoor lounge area, featuring the "Estelle" sofa, "Frank" armchair, "Indy" vintage industrial cart, and "Rami" vintage Persian rug, offered a comfortable space for guests to relax and take in the beautiful scenery.

For the reception, the tablescape showcased 8-foot harvest-style tables with turned farmhouse legs paired with black Bentwood chairs for a perfect balance of rustic and refined. The elegant table settings featured vintage china, gold flatware, and clear cut-glass goblets, adding a sophisticated touch to the natural florals and textures. Vintage whiskey barrels were used throughout the celebration for an authentic touch and unique display options. Inside, their stunning boxwood hedge wall was adorned with champagne flute shelves, ready for guests to sip and socialize in style. Cheers to country love!



Southern Aprons crafted an incredible, towering 6-tier cake for the reception, featuring two acrylic layers illuminated from within by lights and vibrant blooms inside and out. The four additional cake layers alternated between a smooth white and subtly textured pattern design, giving the cake a dynamic, elegant look while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic. Displayed on a whiskey barrel, this showstopper beautifully tied together the event's rustic yet refined ambiance with its elegant and striking design.
