About Montana Wildflower Weddings
I am so excited to tell you all about this intimate wedding venue at Wildflower Weddings! I’ve only done huge productions with hundreds of guests at Wildflower, so it was a lot of fun to meet on a Wednesday in Red Lodge to celebrate these two! Definitely a change of pace, and I loved it.
We stayed at the cabin on the property and got hair and makeup done by Destini from Cultured Roots! The bride wanted a little more of an editorial look for her getting ready pictures, so I brought in a stand and backdrop to set up right in front of the sliding glass doors of the cabin for some beautiful lighting. Also, a hack, if you’re getting ready space is a little messy or not exactly what you want, putting up a giant backdrop gets rid of all the clutter and gives you that editorial look. The couple got ready together which was so stinking sweet to watch.
After that, we went in front of the barn for them to exchange their vows. We took our time after photographing on the gorgeous property with the heavy woods, waterfalls, and open pasture. Then Crystal, their planner, had set up a beautiful grazing table, wine, and cake from Sweets by Sam. Sometimes you might think that when you elope you wouldn’t need a planner, but I will tell you- it makes a HUGE difference in the day. Her decorations and work were so magical, the couple absolutely loved it! She surprised them with sparklers after dinner, and then they hit downtown Red Lodge for more drinks and dancing at the One-Legged Magpie.

Where to Stay Near Wildflower Weddings
Wildlower has a great cabin on the property that we got ready in. It’s only a few minutes from Red Lodge, and it is a huge, spacious log cabin near Beartooth Mountains. It has three levels including a master suite, two other bedrooms, a loft overlooking the main level area, and two full bathrooms! AHH! I would definitely stay here, it sounds and is amazing. It fits up to 10 guests!
“The main level offers a luxurious and cozy living space with an open floor plan concept including its own separate dining area and breakfast bar. The beautiful stone fireplace is the focal point of this space. Downstairs has a full walkout basement, bar and a great open area to play family games or to gather for a meeting. The lodge comes fully furnished and sits back off the beaten path amongst a quiet natural setting. With numerous, large, sun-filled windows, a wraparound upper deck and a lower patio, you are able to experience incredible views of the property and passing wildlife. The serene setting offers peaceful ponds and a tranquil waterfall.
