Hosting your celebration somewhere remote? Sounds lovely. Here’s how to pair colorful western details with a rustic wilderneess setting for a wedding celebration that’s a breath of fresh mountain air.
Carrie Patterson PhotographyWhen celebrating in a rustic setting (hello, wilderness lodge) work with a palette of unexpected colors like bright citron, teal and fuchsia to keep the vibe feeling fresh, instead of theme-y. An outdoor dining scene is party ready, thanks to plush wishbone chairs and textiles and dishware that pop. The finishing touch? A scattering of bud vases down the center of the table, all filled with bright pink ranunculus, peonies and more.
