Erika & David’s Unique Wedding Details at Preston Ranch

Set against the rugged backdrop of Wyoming, Erika and David’s wedding beautifully combined the rustic charm of the area with their own personal flair. They got ready in adorable western-style cabins, which I loved! The intricate details of her gown stood out so much and perfectly complemented the old Western surroundings. What truly set this wedding apart, however, was the attention to the smallest, most meaningful details! They thoughtfully chose every element, from heirloom jewelry and framed photographs to unique textures like lace and ribbons, to tell their story. I encourage couples to start planning these details early, as they can elevate your wedding photos and create a more personal, timeless narrative!

When planning your wedding day, it’s the little things that make the biggest difference. From personalized decor to thoughtful touches, here are some tips and details to consider to help make your wedding uniquely yours:

1. Incorporate Personal Heirlooms

Adding sentimental items like family jewelry, old photographs, or a special piece of fabric from a loved one’s wedding dress can create a deep connection to your heritage. These pieces tell your story and add meaning to your day, making your wedding feel more intimate and personal.

2. Plan Your Textures and Layers

Details like ribbons, lace, velvet, or silk add a visual and tactile richness to your wedding decor. Incorporate these textures in your bouquet, table settings, or even attire to create a cohesive and sophisticated look that stands out in photos.

3. Prepare All Your Details for Photos

Make sure your special items, rings, shoes, invitations, jewelry, and other meaningful pieces, are ready to go for your photographer. Having these details organized ensures nothing is overlooked and helps your photographer capture all the important moments effortlessly.

4. Embrace Personal Style in Attire

Whether it’s a non-traditional dress or a unique accessory, let your personality shine through your attire. Don’t be afraid to stray from tradition if it feels right for you! Your dress, suit, or even shoes can be a great way to express who you are as a couple.

5. Tell a Story with Your Decor

Instead of focusing solely on trends, think about how your decor can reflect your journey as a couple. Incorporate elements that resonate with your story, like symbols from your first date or places that hold significance for you.

6. Plan Ahead for the Unseen Moments

Some of the most magical moments are the ones that aren’t planned, the laughter between friends, the quiet before the ceremony, or the first touch with your partner. While you can’t script these, working with a photographer who knows how to capture them is essential to reliving those special moments later.

7. Textures and Colors Matter in Your Photos

Remember that small details like the textures of your dress, floral arrangements, and table linens will photograph beautifully. Choose elements that have texture or depth, like lace, greenery, or textured paper for invitations, to give your photos a timeless, elegant feel.

By focusing on these thoughtful details, your wedding day will not only reflect your unique style but will also create memories that last a lifetime!
