2025 Share Your Flair Winner: Mariah & Riley's Organic Montana Mountain Wedding
Some weddings feel perfectly connected to the place where they happen. Mariah and Riley's celebration in the mountains of Montana is one of them.
Their intimate wedding brought together just 45 of their closest family and friends for an unforgettable weekend at Dog Creek Lodge in Olney, Montana. Nestled on 80 acres of breathtaking landscape and just a short drive from Glacier National Park, the setting created the perfect backdrop for a celebration that felt personal, relaxed, and deeply meaningful.
A Wedding Weekend Designed Around the People They Love
Instead of planning a single day, Mariah and Riley created an experience. By inviting everyone to stay together for the weekend, they gave their guests time to slow down, explore the property, and simply enjoy being together.
Their wedding vision blended timeless elegance with an organic, garden-inspired aesthetic. White flowers created a classic foundation while lush greenery, airy textures, and subtle burgundy accents echoed the surrounding Montana landscape.
Even more meaningful, Mariah and her closest friends designed every floral arrangement themselves.
With their flowers safely stored in the lodge's kitchen after delivery, they spent the days leading up to the wedding creating bouquets and arrangements using vintage vessels Mariah had collected throughout the year.
"It was amazing being able to pick our favorite florals, find inspiration online, customize them to feel like us and the space we were in, and then create all of the pieces with some of my close friends. It truly made our wedding process feel so much more special knowing that the pieces were original to us, they were created by us, and I made the sweetest memories with the girls helping me make them that I will hold on to forever."
The Flowers They Chose
Mariah selected flowers that felt naturally at home in the Montana landscape while maintaining an elevated, timeless style.
Her floral recipe included:
- White Ranunculus
- Milky Way White Star Anemones
- White Larkspur
- White Scabiosa
- Giant Pale Green Hydrangea
- White Lace Vintage Orlaya
- Queen Anne's Lace
- Green Hanging Amaranthus
- Chocolate Lace Flower
The combination of soft whites, fresh greens, and delicate textures created arrangements that were elegant without ever feeling overly formal.
Why We Loved Their Flowers
What stood out most about Mariah and Riley's flowers was how effortlessly they belonged in the setting. Every arrangement looked as though it had been gathered directly from the fields surrounding the lodge.
The movement of the larkspur, Orlaya, Queen Anne's lace, and hanging amaranthus created an airy, whimsical feel, while the oversized hydrangeas anchored each design with softness and structure. Small touches of chocolate lace flower added just enough depth without taking away from the fresh, natural palette.
The result was refined without feeling designed—a perfect balance of upscale and organic.
Mariah's wedding is also a beautiful reminder that impactful floral design doesn't always require dozens of flower varieties or elaborate installations. Thoughtfully chosen blooms, repeated with intention, can create a look that feels luxurious, cohesive, and completely unforgettable.
