Diny Design Co. elevated the stationery and signage with a luxe yet natural feel, using a simple palette of white, brown, and gold. Invitations and detail cards were printed on high-quality paper with torn edges and tied together with a leather cord. Calligraphy paired with a widely spaced serif font added elegance, and the suite was completed with printed envelopes featuring delicate floral liners.

The bride's gown from Brides N' Belles was a strapless, floral-embroidered A-line dress with a sweetheart neckline, structured bodice, and ethereal tulle skirt adorned with intricate stitching. Platinum Bond Salon styled her hair in a braided half-updo that was both elegant and relaxed, while TrueToYou MakeUp Artistry gave her a glowing, soft look with shadowed lids, rosy blush, and a warm pink lip.

Signature Events provided florals, décor, and overall design for the shoot. The bridal bouquet combined blush, champagne, toffee, peach, rust, and orange tones, accented with soft ferns and textured greenery. Featured blooms included dahlias, garden roses, zinnias, chrysanthemums, amaranthus, snapdragons, and coneflower seed heads, tied together with a striking red-orange ribbon.

The ceremony setup embraced natural textures, with a macrame backdrop, string lights, cylindrical woven candle holders, and whimsical wildflower-inspired arrangements framing the couple.

Buck and Honey's Catering offered a delicious spread of small bites, including charcuterie cups, pulled pork on pretzel buns, veggie skewers, and mini berry tarts, complemented by rustic bar service from The Mane Tap mobile bar.

In addition to Signature Events, Social Affair Rentals and D&S Party Tent Rentals provided furniture and décor pieces that completed the rustic-boho lounge. Velvet and leather seating, patterned rugs, lanterns, and woven candle holders created a warm, inviting vibe beneath tree branches adorned with hanging lanterns.

The groom's look featured a deep forest-green suit, crisp white shirt, patterned sage tie, floral boutonniere, and brown shoes.

Two tablescapes brought the rustic-chic theme to life. The first, set outdoors under shady branches, featured a wide wooden table adorned with white plates, scalloped green chargers, crystal glassware, natural linens, gold silverware, candles, and a cascading greenery runner.

Casacampo Alpaca Ranch, located in Columbia County, Wisconsin, offers inclusive accommodations for up to 30 guests, private event spaces, and stunning indoor and outdoor locations ideal for weddings. The ranch's scenic setting provided a whimsical backdrop for the styled shoot, with blooming wildflowers, lush greenery, and playful farm animals, including Pisco, the resident guard llama, who made a charming appearance during couple portraits.

The shoot wrapped with a romantic indoor scene, candlelit tablescape, and a second bridal look: a knee-length, form-fitting gown with an off-the-shoulder twisted neckline. Additional highlights included a champagne tower, charcuterie from Tricky Foods, and intimate, warmly lit décor that perfectly complemented the dreamy, organic aesthetic.
