Kate and Matt’s Elopement Love Story

The couple got married in Leavenworth at the cutest Bed and Breakfast called Pine River Ranch. I packaged everything up for the snowy drive, and the couple’s future in-laws were entrusted with making the pickup.

In all the classic holiday festive colors, I loved this elopement. Kate really wanted to embrace the season and keep the items she needed very traditional and classic.

She requested using stephanotis since her mother had it in her bouquet. The sentiment tied to a piece I’m making always makes it special. Mistletoe, red ribbons, wreaths, and snow!!!

The Wedding Party

The Bridesmaids wore dresses that complemented them, in similar shades of green and emerald.

Here’s Kate’s review on weddingwire:

Gina did a spectacular job with our wedding flowers. Everything was absolutely beautiful. She truly brought my vision to life. I would highly recommend her. She was responsive and never once seemed to mind all of my revisions to the original proposal. She was amazing. She made it so easy for us to pick up the flowers and transport them to our remote location without any issue.
