Natalie and Kyle: Wedding, Weatherwood Homestead, Monta

Natalie and Kyle just might be the sweetest two people we've ever met. From the very first time we met them we fell completely in love with them and looked forward to their wedding for a year! These two have a love story fit for the movies...seriously, someone make a movie about them! Together they're chasing their dreams in Nashville and I think I have listened to their albums 100 times since meeting them! Check it out here! Also, HUGE thanks to Style Me Pretty for featuring this obviously gorgeous wedding dripping with love!!

Of course none of this would be possible without the insane talent of all these vendors! All of them I recommend whole heartedly for anyone planning right now! ;)

Flathead Lake Nautical Inspiration

"Every summer, people from around the world flock to our little Flathead Valley in northern Montana. Mostly to see the majestic Glacier National Park, but also for Flathead Lake. Growing up here we were inspired by the beauty of the lake, it's crystal clear water, surrounded by towering mountains, the waving white sails. Working with Cara Finch Lard from Goldfinch EVENTS & DESIGN, we wanted to take a different approach to this shoot from the typical "Montana" inspiration. When most people think Montana, they picture rustic, cowboy, big red barns etc. But since Flathead Lake is the largest natural body of water west of the Mississippi River, for me it feels a little like living near the coast.  

There's something incredibly romantic about two people vowing their love for each other on the cliffs of Flathead Lake, watching sailboats drift in front of the mountains. We went with an underlying nautical beach theme to bring an unexpected perspective to the Flathead Valley. We were inspired by the colors of the sunset on the water in the way we chose navy, soft white, gold and blush. We kept the wardrobe modern and fresh, letting the gold sequins dazzle in the sunlight against crisp navy blue linen. The all-white floral from Mum's Flowers with garden roses and white anemones with navy blue centers kept the tablescape romantic and soft, offsetting the cragginess of the rocks. 

Tyler Thorney from One Ten and One Third illustrated the paper goods, which we then gold leafed to add the modern element. We kept the cake simple drawing inspiration from the seashell topper and gold-leafed frosting. As we shot into the last bit of sunset we toasted with our gold leafed champagne flutes to the beauty of Flathead Lake."

Kate and RJ: Great Gastby Elopement, Glacier Park Weddings

Kate and RJ's intimate wedding was an absolute dream come true! Their love of classic literature was the inspiration behind this gorgeous day. They wanted it to feel like Jay Gatsby himself came to Montana to throw a party for ten.  With the help of Kelsey at Glacier Park Weddings, they made this vision come to life perfectly. Touches of art deco, vintage cocktails that RJ made for his guests, a menu straight from 1920's cookbooks, with Glacier Park as the most stunning back drop. Even Gatsby's Lemon Cake. Every last detail was amazing! We LOVED this small wedding of just family and we are so excited to join Kate and RJ next summer for a big reception celebration!
