Both share a deep connection to the rustic, free-spirited lifestyle of the American West, often reflected in their professional work and personal lives. This theme was a choice and a testament to their roots and shared passions.

Situated amidst rolling hills and expansive meadows, the location offered an idyllic setting that was both intimate and grand. The sprawling landscape, dotted with century-old oak trees and wildflowers, provided a stunning backdrop for the ceremony and reception. Rustic wooden fences lined the property, complementing the Western theme and enhancing the venue’s authenticity. The ranch’s serene and picturesque scenery provided the perfect canvas for Bingham and Harrison’s love story, making their wedding truly unforgettable.

The Decoration

The decoration for the wedding reflected Bingham and Harrison’s dedication to authenticity and detail within their Western theme. Natural elements were at the forefront, with wildflower arrangements gracing every table and lanterns hanging from tree branches, casting a warm, inviting glow as night fell. The color palette was inspired by the rugged landscapes of the West, incorporating earth tones like deep browns, vibrant greens, and rich, rusty oranges. Each table was adorned with burlap runners and centerpieces crafted from reclaimed wood, echoing the rustic charm of the surroundings. Hay bales, covered with soft, woven blankets, provided additional seating around fire pits, encouraging guests to gather and share stories under the night sky. Personalized touches, such as custom-branded leather coasters and handcrafted horseshoe mementos, ensured that the decor was as meaningful as it was beautiful, creating an intimate and enchanting wedding environment.

The Dress Code

In keeping with the Western theme, Bingham and Harrison encouraged their guests to embrace the spirit of the American West through their attire. The dress code blended elegance and rustic charm, capturing the essence of the frontier lifestyle. Men donned tailored suits paired with cowboy boots and wide-brimmed hats, while bolo ties added a distinctive Western flair. Women wore flowing dresses in natural fabrics like cotton and linen, complemented by leather belts and boots. Some guests opted for traditional Western attire, featuring fringe jackets, denim, and prairie dresses. The bridal party also embraced the theme, with bridesmaids in earthy-toned dresses and groomsmen in vests and suspenders, each ensemble carefully curated to reflect the couple’s unique vision. The bride, Harrison, stunned in a custom-made gown with intricate lace details and a flowing silhouette, perfectly harmonizing with Bingham’s classic Western suit and cowboy hat. This thoughtful dress code not only elevated the event’s aesthetic but also invited guests to participate fully in the celebration, making the experience all the more immersive and memorable.
