After a memorable trip to Wyoming's Jackson Hole, Lindsey Gice and Ryan Mottl decided to head back West from their home in Brooklyn to say "I do" surrounded by alpine beauty and countless DIY rustic details.
On the big day, 40-plus homemade burlap birds, strung on long ribbons, fluttered above a buffet. Centerpieces rested on oak slabs that Ryan's parents hewed from a tree on their property. And the 125 guests left with huckleberry- and sage-scented soaps made by Lindsey's sister. Even Mother Nature did her part, providing a flawless fall day that was, in a word, "magical," says Lindsey.
To spread the news, the bride took an image from an old Work Projects Administration poster she found at the Grand Teton National Park visitors' center, shrunk it down digitally, customized the type, and added a tiny couple vowing "I do!" on one of the peaks.
Pairs of critters -- bears on the invites, buffalo on the itineraries, and deer on the replies -- adorned the suite Lindsey designed.
Lindsey's bouquet of Queen Anne's lace and garden roses accented her airy Saja dress. Ryan wore in a custom Ralph Lauren suit.
Each man's boutonniere included an unexpected element, like a feather or starflower pincushion.
Arriving guests were encouraged to grab the day’s agenda from a weathered wooden box.
Ranunculus, hydrangeas, and Queen Anne's lace created an autumnal palette.
The couple went cakeless, opting for chocolate-pecan, apple-crumb, and mixed-berry pies from Jackson Cake Company.
