The Scene<\/strong>: Inspired by the beauty of the region, the couple took inspiration from the area\u2019s vegetation and incorporated white, green and brown florals in the wedding\u2019s decor. The bride\u2019s bouquet was made from anemones, chamomile and baby\u2019s breath and the centrepieces featured long winding branches. The wedding\u2019s theme revolved around love birds which were featured on the wedding cake, seating cards and guest book.<\/p>\n

The Bride Wore:<\/strong> Ali wore a Vera Wang wedding gown made from organza and accented with a sash at the waist. \u201cI wanted an elegant dress with simple lines.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Personal Touch:<\/strong> The bride handcrafted a number of the wedding details with the help of her mom and grandmother, including the jam favours and ceramic birds.<\/p>\n

The couple decided to create their own wedding vows, but instead of writing them out ahead of time, they spoke straight from the heart. \u201cWe were amazed that the words just came to both of us,\u201d says the bride.<\/p>\n

With their own unforgettable vacation memories as motivation, Ali and Kevin made sure their guests enjoyed the wedding\u2014as well as the Resort.<\/p>\n

Closing:<\/strong> It was very important to Ali and Kevin to keep the wedding\u2019s details as natural as possible and reflect the beauty of the area. \u201cWe wanted our guests to experience the magic of the Tetons and fall in love with it as we did many years ago,\u201d says the bride.<\/p>\n

After the wedding, the newlyweds embarked on a three-part honeymoon, including a stop at Four Seasons Resort Nevis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
