The wedding colors—blue, white, and sage green—set a serene and elegant tone throughout the day. From the bridesmaids' dresses to the floral arrangements and decor, these colors harmonized beautifully with the natural surroundings of The Buttes, creating a tranquil and picturesque atmosphere for the festivities.
Shannon's attire was a delightful blend of traditional elegance and personal flair.
