TIME TO PLAN THE BEST DAY EVER
TETON GUIDE
So excited for your day, as you're planning I want you to remember this always...
This is YOUR day. You don't HAVE to do anything and you CAN do anything.
Before going any further in the planning process, I need you two to have a conversation. Sit down together and dream up your dream day.
What excites you, what memories do you want to make on your wedding day, what do you want your day to feel like?
Start with answering those questions. Sometimes you'd be surprised that the answers don't fit into a norm, that what you want is something unique to the two of you and not everyone else. This day should be a true representation of the both of you, and you can make it that by first throwing out tradition, expectation, limitations, judgements and anything else that doesn't align with your dream day.
What's next?
ok so you've had that conversation,
vendors
officiants
Wyoming does not require documentation to officiate, they only need to be "qualified person acting in accordance with the traditions or rites for the solemnization of marriage of any religion, denomination or religious society, may perform the ceremony of marriage in this state." So if you want a friend to do it they can, or if you want to say your vows to each other without being guided, I can sign your license (I can also say "may I be the first to congratulate you" but I do not guide through vows as I'll be takin photos haha.

florists
One of the cool things about eloping is having the opportunity to maybe splurge on your bouquet! I absolutely love bouquets, gives your hands something to hold, brings in some color, and completes the bridal look. The jagged peaks mixed with soft flowers?!?! YES PLEASE!

hair and makeup
Definitely treat yo self! Getting pampered before heading to the mountains is a good way to just soak in the morning/time before ceremony and take it slow. Get a mimosa for yourself and get dolled up. Your man can also go get pampered!
