An Outdoor Rustic Wedding in the Mountains of Colorado

Best Buds

Abigail carried garden roses, cream astilbe, white dahlias, white lisianthus, and antique sage hydrangea in her bouquet.

Lively Lapel

The men wore stellata pods, hypericum berries, aspen leaves, and hydrangea.

Ranch Cool

Cowboy boots were the footwear of choice for this practical wedding party. The bride wore a Winnie Couture gown for the pair's roam on the range.

Pretty Posy

Nosegays had roses, mint, hypericum berries, and astilbe.

Family Tradition

A Swiss-style alpenhorn heralded the bridal party as guests gathered on the lawn, a wedding tradition in Abigail's family.

Majestic View

The outdoor ceremony offered guests a picturesque view of the Rocky Mountains. The groom's sister stood as his "best woman" for the service.

Grazing Goats

Billy goats roamed the ceremony site, Hell Roaring Ranch in Redstone, Colorado.

Harvest Display

Wheat and barley flanked the rustic escort-card chart.
