Best Friends & a Celebration of Love!

I was thrilled to work with Lori & Brad!

They were so easy-going and such straight-shooters that arranging all the wedding pieces was hardly a chore. I felt like I was helping good friends create a historical day in their life long love story!

Lori & Brad knew their colors were to be red and gold. They were sure Heritage Hall was the perfect spot. And Lori had no doubts that she would walk down the aisle to a favorite Queen song "You're My Best Friend".

Other than that they hoped for suggestions and referrals. Knowing the couple's excitement about their upcoming honeymoon to India and Lori's all-time favorite food dish being Gobi Aloo (a delicious Indian dish), it seemed fitting to incorporate some of the rich elements of that country's culture.

A Simply Romantic Union!

The weather is unpredictable in Montana in the middle of June. But this wedding wasn't about extravagance it was truly about the union between a young couple obviously headed for a long life of love together. When the skies continued to rain all day we moved the ceremony inside and the guests watched the vows from their reception seats.

But the tables were anything but an eye-sore. Complete with gorgeous wild fl0wers from Mo Gary's garden, stark white linens and flickering votives, they rounded out the romantic sentiment of the day! This wedding is a perfect example of keeping things simple and focusing on the fun to be had with family and friends.

The food was served with an extra pinch of delicious from newcomers, Silk Road Catering. The Father-of-the-Bride gleamed with pure love and enthusiasm for the couple and gave a heartfelt toast. Then the party begin: dancing and celebration shots!
