Rustic and Sunset-Inspired: Styled Welcome Dinner Shoot

We’re so thrilled to share some behind-the-scenes details and photos from a styled shoot at JAREH Ranch in Waco, dreamt up by the amazing Shannon of Shannon Rose Events! Shannon's specialization in weekend-long ranch weddings makes for such amazing productions for couples and their families as they celebrate joining together. We were so thrilled to contribute to this charming and unique inspiration shoot!

This welcome dinner setup was a pocket of that special Texas-rustic feel, with a stunning color palette of sunset-esque oranges and a denim-navy color that bridged all of the flowers and table decor with the natural green surroundings. For this guest table, we designed a series of compote arrangements that created a look of continuous flowers from one end to the other. Featuring orange and red Ball Dahlias, bright orange Ranunculus and Kangaroo Paw, these arrangements were lively in not only color, but shape and movement too!

The flowers were one of many elements that made this concept so dynamic, and the rest of the table decor brought in so many special touches. Terracotta-and-stone-colored mugs at each place setting added more of that western vibe while tying in with the orangey palette. Wooden benches for seating were the perfect choice for that warm, intimate and welcoming feel.

The stationery and welcome box design continued the cowboy motif, with a stunning hand drawn-style envelope liner, and lots more blue and western touches.  In a stunning full-fringe dress, cowboy hat and bolo tie, our couple embodied the whole vibe perfectly — the perfect indication that your wedding is ‘you!’
