Ashley and Brian's wedding was sincerely one of the most heartfelt, personalized weddings we've designed ever. Ashley and Brian met at Boise's Twilight Criterium and the love blossomed from there- which is why it was imperative that a slight vintage bike theme take place in the wedding. Starting with the wedding invitations by
Ampersand Studios, all the way through the wedding day with the couple's vintage beach cruisers making an appearance, the bike emblem was perfect. Other must-have details of the wedding were: Bright orange (Brian's signature color- just ask Ashley, as she managed to fall in love with a man wearing a neon orange shirt upon first meeting), spring green, and lots of natural elements like burlap. A live band from Portland, Wisconsin cheese, and oyster bar all got the party started...and kept it going well into the night.
The setting was a Brian's family's house, with the ceremony on top of the mountain overlooking the city- absolutely breathtaking. It was our first experience with straw bales, but we did have fun getting to know all of the farmers in the state of Idaho :) So without further adieu, here are some sneak-peek photos from their September fall wedding..don't forget to head over to the Ampersand Studios Blog for even more photos.
We welcomed guests into the cocktail hour with mojitos in mason jars- they were a hit especially since Ashley and Brian got lucky with Indian Summer-like weather.

The wedding flowers were a combination of fall dahlias, the bride's favorite, and sweet little succulents.
The tented dinner area in the front of the house was one of our favorite parts of the day- we used a bare tent frame and hung patio lights from the poles. Dinner was right around sunset; soon the guests were eating under the stars and lights, alfresco style.
Overall, the wedding was a smashing success with the help of the amazing team of vendors:
Caterer: Metro Gourmet
Band: The Design Band, Portland
Design & Planning: Soiree
Photography, Invites: Ampersand Studios
~Happy Thursday!
