ALCHEMY IN THE ABSAROKAS
Livingston, Montana
Highlight of the Night
Dappled sunlight in the aspen groves. The soaring Absarokas. A mammoth golden retriever ringbearer. A life-sized cutout of Rip from Yellowstone keeping the bridal party company. The sweetest ceremony and cocktails al fresco on a white cedar deck at sunset. Long estate tables draped in kick-pleated blue and green linen, flooded with native Montana wildflowers and candlelight. The sound of the Shrines trickling out over the burl wood dance floor. Sequined cowboy hats and custom sunnies on a raucous late night crowd under a pergola of blooms. Stepping out into the summer air under a canopy of stars to sip an espresso martini and look back at a sea of happy guests. Paradise Valley, indeed.

“The level of dedication and creative work to make my wedding dreams come true was exceptional! There was not one detail that was missed by Calder and her team during the entire wedding process. They truly know what is best when it comes to, well, everything! Vendors, tent layouts, etc. Not a dinner date with friends goes by without talking about our wedding at the end of the night! I would use them over and over again a million times!”
