Here in Montana we are known for our beautiful landscapes. At The River House Wedding & Event Venue, riverhousemontana.com, our location is between Missoula and Kalispell, Montana, so our views are spectacular. People come from all over the US and the world to see our mountains, rivers and forests. Not only is the scenery amazing but the lifestyle is reminiscent of a slower and calmer time. It's no wonder wedding couples look for ways to compliment Montana's surroundings by bringing the natural world into their decor. I will explore ways to emphasize the beautiful landscapes in your visions and designs.
One of the easiest and alluring ways to bring Montana into your celebration is through local wildflowers. Our forests and mountain meadows are filled with flowers such as daisies, bluebells and indian paintbrush. Because they do wilt quickly there should be a flower picking party the morning of your wedding. Bringing a group together for a morning hike is a wonderful way to start your wedding day. It helps to relax by being in the forest and clears your mind so that you can continue to be present and mindful for one of your most important days in you life! When you stay overnight at The River House you can either pick the flowers out your backdoor or travel up the road for a half a mile and take one of our many mountain trails.
Using natural elements for your decor such as branches, antlers and stones is economical and fitting for the rustic environment. For example finding heart river rocks or smooth river stones as a centerpieces, exemplifies nature's beauty as your decor. In the Swan and Flathead Valley, the river rocks are beautiful pinks, grays and blues, which blends effortlessly into a romantic and serene ambience. A study has shown that couples who use natural elements into their decorations report a 20% increase in experiencing their wedding as charming and intimate.
By placing rocks with lush greenery and or soft candlelight you can create a mystical and romantic environment. Mason jars with river rock on the bottom are great vases to hold any flowers. At the River House we have made ceremony arches out of the twisted, gnarled trees from our property to create a fairyland of nature's own designs. Because mountains, rivers and forests are our venue backdrop, it's only necessary to compliment not create beautiful spaces.
The serene scenery in Montana offers many outstanding ceremony sites. At The River House we have the Swan Mountains in our backyard with the Swan River and Glacier Creek flowing by. Consequently we have several picturesque ceremony areas, they include the river site, we call The Embrace, the forest site, we call the The Ring and the confluence site, we call The Union. Because Montana is so majestic, there isn't much need for decorating when you have your wedding at a outdoor wedding venue. It goes without saying that having The Swan and Mission Mountains in your background produces spectacular wedding pictures. Having a photographer who is trained at using landscapes, will enhance your wedding photos.
Weddings that have a rustic design works well with the Montana environment. Bringing together wooden elements with luxury items such a linen or silk creates a interesting and warm space. Bringing wood tables and antique furniture adds character for you to express your own uniqueness to any wedding venue you chose. The ability to personalize your wedding with items or themes that signify your love for your partner is always welcome and encouraged at many Montana wedding venues.
Since our environment is a constant reminder of natures beauty, it's only fitting many couples want to be eco-friendly in their choices. Opting for biodegradable materials for decor, paper goods and eating utensils can help reduce the impact of waste. Other options include paperless invites and finding local florists who practice sustainability. Using potted plants as centerpieces is is a possibility for decorating. The venue a couple chooses and decorates can be symbolic of what's important to them.
Wedding invitations can introduce your desire to how you want your celebration to be. Having pictures of the two of you in the mountains displays that bond of your love for each other and the natural world. Another option is to have watercolor illustrations of Montana's beautiful scenery or the venue that you're having your wedding at. For example our trademark for The River House could be used on invitations or in the wedding decor.
Introducing elements of Montana's rugged and beautiful landscapes into your wedding decor continues the celebration of your love for each other and worldly beauty. Beauty is an expression of love and to be surrounded by it helps people to relax and feel comforted.
So when using wildflowers it symbolizes unity. Wildflowers growing in meadows shows the ability of different types of flowers to come together and thrive, a beautiful blending of differences. River rocks signify change, acceptance, growth and the flow of life. As for bent trees they are seen as trail markers, to help travelers continue down their path with ease.
To begin your story together with unity, growth, acceptance and ease is a true blessing for any couple.
