Shaping the mood and feel of the event, Goldfinch Events & Design planned a distinctively memorable day without a hitch. A creamy neutral color palette drove the design, as seen throughout Mums Floral Design’s lush floral designs. If you’re dreaming of a large wedding, this one has all the inspo you need to pull off the best day of your life.

From Jeremiah and Rachel Photography… Caroline and Ben celebrated their love with a full week of festivities in their favorite place, Whitefish, Montana. Having spent summers here and falling in love with the natural beauty of the state, Ben popped the question in the summer of 2018. Ben and Caroline gathered 300 friends and family and exchanged vows at the lovely Bootjack Farm, with the wedding designed by Goldfinch Events on August 31st. They brought in the perfect blend of Montana with the jazz of New Orleans, the bride’s hometown!
This classic couple chose a creamy neutral color palette, with fun unexpected elements like a roaming reception with different food stations for a fun and eclectic dining experience. A star of the show was the 1,000 square foot floral ceiling suspended above the tent’s central bar and dance floor! Cozy seating was tucked into every corner which made the giant affair feel intimate and comfortable. Guests enjoyed the custom burgundy bar and raw oyster bar during cocktail hour set among a walled garden, and an eight-tiered wedding cake in its own private garden with another suspended floral ceiling made for the most sweet and romantic aroma!
Ben and Caroline stayed true to their Southern roots and had each of Caroline’s 13 bridesmaids pull a charm from the cake, each symbolizing something special. Caroline and Ben are a very loved couple and that was evident with their large bridal parties, with the maids in blush silk gowns, and the men in classic black tuxes, but the true VIP was the bride’s Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Albert! A very special guest appearance of country music star, Pat Green, sang his famous song, and the groom’s favorite song, Wave On Wave for the first dance!
It was definitely a highlight of the day and Pat stayed to play a short set for the couple on their guests! Next up Taylor Pace Orchestra led the party all night long with a huge brass section, which then led the newlyweds out for the night with a classic New Orleans second line!
