Claudia and John’s wedding was a true celebration of fall in Jackson Hole. Set on their private family ranch, the ceremony unfolded among golden meadow grasses, towering evergreens, and slender aspens catching the soft September light. From the moment guests arrived, the day felt intimate, vibrant, and effortlessly joyful, a perfect reflection of the couple’s love for the season and their welcoming, grounded personalities.
The Vision
The couple wanted a wedding that celebrated Wyoming’s autumn landscape through every detail. Their vision embraced lush, textural florals, a warm harvest-inspired palette, and personal touches that made the ranch feel both elegant and inviting. Claudia and John imagined a day where guests could feel fully present, surrounded by nature’s beauty, while design elements, from florals to colors, flowed seamlessly from the ceremony to the reception.
The Floral Story
Claudia’s bouquet captured the essence of a Wyoming autumn garden. Peach and butter-yellow dahlias, coral and salmon zinnias, ivory roses, and salmon snapdragons were layered with orange leaves, delicate scabiosa, and long trailing greenery. The soft shape echoed the movement of the meadow around them, while the bouquet’s airy stems and velvety petals added texture and natural elegance. This organic, freshly gathered arrangement complemented Claudia’s lace-appliqué gown, tying her look to the surrounding landscape in a way that felt effortless yet intentional.
The ceremony took place on a custom platform in the open meadow. A partial U-shaped floral arrangement hugged the platform edges, cascading gently in height to mimic the natural undulations of the meadow. Dahlias, chrysanthemums, zinnias, snapdragons, marigolds, and branching foliage were interspersed with dancing aspen leaves and airy greenery, creating depth and motion. The sunlight made peach and butter-yellow tones glow, while light breezes caused wispy stems to sway, giving the florals a soft, living movement.
The aisle was impossibly lush, flanked by golden aspens and layered florals that created a cocoon-like effect, drawing guests into an intimate, connected space. Bridesmaids in deep navy satin dresses and groomsmen in grey suits provided contrast, while the wedding party’s soft smiles and attentive presence added to the warm, heartfelt atmosphere. Claudia and John shared a quiet, grounded moment together, leaning slightly toward each other and fully present, radiating calm joy that was mirrored by the surrounding natural beauty.
The head table extended the harvest-inspired palette with long, lush floral runners that felt like a meandering autumn garden. Dahlias, chrysanthemums, zinnias, ranunculus, rose hips, solidago, and autumn leaves were layered to create texture, movement, and contrast between dense blooms and airy accents. Beige jacquard tablecloths, honey-gold taper candles, silver flatware, and wooden cross-back chairs added rustic elegance, while golden aspen branches wrapped around the tent poles created a glowing canopy effect. As twilight fell, the candlelight and warm florals deepened, giving the space a romantic amber glow, while light breezes stirred leaves and delicate stems for a sense of living, breathing nature inside the tent.
In the Details
Claudia and John’s wedding featured playful, personal touches woven into the floral design. A family canoe transformed into a festive drink station, filled with ice and adorned with cascading florals and greenery. Escort cards were tied with sprigs of autumn foliage and navy ribbon, echoing the bridesmaids’ dresses and offering guests a small, thoughtful connection to the season. The rich palette of golds, burgundy, red, yellow, orange, and soft pink flowed from bouquets to tablescapes, uniting every element and celebrating the beauty of a Jackson Hole fall ranch wedding. Guests danced, laughed, and fully embraced the joyful, welcoming energy of the celebration.
Claudia and John’s wedding was a perfect reflection of Wyoming in early fall: lush, textural, and deeply connected to the landscape.
