THE DÉCOR
The largely Utah-based party pro team (including Kindred Rising Events, Alice Shoots People and The Potted Pansy) worked closely with the mother of the bride to bring the natural foliage around the beautiful home venue into the design. Upon visiting the home, the designers were immediately inspired by the forest paradise, lined with aspens and meadow grasses. Taking full advantage, they created a palette of foraged wedding florals like we’ve never seen before. 
Each personal setting was accented with an intricate violet goblet, to further incorporate the color of the huckleberries, and added a delicious pop of color. The wedding was held during huckleberry season, so those rich berry hues couldn’t be resisted. Custom sage linen and gold chargers accented china plates, but each table had something unique: each was named for a different mountain in Idaho, or that had significance to the bride and groom.
“They were a fun conversation starter, and added a personal touch to each table,” says Erica Paine, of Kindred Rising Events.
THE CEREMONY
For the ring ceremony, Sarah and her family knew they wanted to have it in a particular grove of aspen trees that had a view of the lake.
“We didn’t need to do much to this area because it was already so beautiful and peaceful, but we definitely wanted to add an arch to back the beautiful union,” says Erica. “Mandy Ogaz of the Potted Pansy created the most beautiful arch, full of aspens, greenery, flowers, and other plants they foraged from the property.”
The arch itself is indeed so perfectly natural, it almost looks as though it sprang up from the ground, ready to provide the ideal backdrop for these lovers, their friends and many nieces, cousins and nephews.
THE PARTY
The team brought the meadow back to the house for the dinner, with simplified centerpieces on round tables. A dance floor at the back of the house was backed by a larger-than-life banner of Sarah & Tyler at their bridal shoot by Alex Colberg, and flanked by large aspen trunk stools and slabs of wood with living edges, of course foraged from the property. The wood serves as tables for dessert and seating for those needing a break from the dancing. 
“It was a beautiful and perfect night. Alice Cannon from Alice Shoots People captured the beauty and love shared that day through her incredible photography. The guests danced the night away, and we sent off the bride and groom with love, laughter, and through a cloud of bubbles.”
