The wedding of Jenna and Aren at the Fox and Goat Ranch was the boho-country-rustic extravaganza we all dream of! From the moment the guests arrived on October 1st, 2022, they knew they were in for a treat. The sun was shining, the air was crisp, and the vibes were just right. As the ceremony began, Jenna looked absolutely radiant in her gorgeous gown, and Aren was beaming with love as he stood at the altar. The rustic decorations and stunning florals were the perfect backdrop for their vows. As the reception kicked off, the music had everyone on their feet, dancing the night away. The golden hour photos were nothing short of breathtaking, capturing the pure love and joy in the air. It was truly a night to remember, and everything was absolutely perfect.
The Proposal! Our proposal story is pretty funny. My husband had bought the ring a year prior with my mom and nana. I thought he was going to propose on our family vacation in Sandpoint at the lake house. He didn't propose so we went home and I was a little upset. The day we got home he told me he dropped the ring in the lake when he was trying to move a chair. We went and bought snorkeling gear and drove all the way back to Sandpoint looking for the ring. He dove into the lake and I looked through the entire house. We never found it. That night my nana took us back to the jeweler and we got the same ring. The next day he took me to the house in green bluff which is where our relationship grew. He proposed to me in front of the wheat field and it was perfect.
The Big Day! Our wedding was boho country. My bridesmaids, mom, and I left early in the morning to our venue to get ready. We were made an amazing brunch from the owners of our venue. The Fox and Goat Ranch took care of our every need, making sure everything went perfect and smoothly. We were very scared our October wedding would be cold but it was in the high 70's with sunshine all day. Our photographer was also a rock star. She made sure to capture every little moment the way we wanted, guiding us through each photo. Our DJ was more then just an entertainer, making sure the music fit the mood, making sure myself and my husband had everything we needed and quickly adjusting the schedule as things changed. Our wedding was absolutely perfect because of how much support we received on this special day.
What was your favorite part of your wedding? Golden hour!!!! The day prior to the wedding I decided to do golden hour photos for me and my husband. It was in the middle of a wheat field with the sun coming down. It was so beautiful I couldn't have imagined my photos any other way.
Special Memories: I gave my mom and dad handkerchiefs with personal messages on them before the wedding. I had my photographer capture the moment of me giving it to them. It was such a raw and special moment between me and my parents that I'll never forget.
What advice would you give to future brides? Don't be afraid to ask for help! I am such a control freak that I didn't give any responsibility to anyone and ended up draining myself weeks before the wedding. Its not worth it when you have so many people willing to help.
