Real Weddings: Elizabeth + Samuel

Every little detail of Elizabeth and Samuel’s Sun Valley wedding is lovely.  Captured by Hillary Maybery Photography and held on a private residence in Ketchum, their celebration is full of love and tradition.

This Way to the Wedding Sign

The wedding day began with a ladies run and brunch in Warm Springs, which is a tradition among Elizabeth’s family and friends who are married in Sun Valley.  For the run, the bride wears a baseball cap with a veil sewn on and afterwards chooses a memento to sew onto the veil to symbolize her relationship with her husband.  As for her wedding attire, Elizabeth wore the same sixpence in her shoe that her grandmother had worn in her wedding, and pinned a handkerchief from Sam’s grandmother that had been in her family since the 1800’s under her gown.

Elizabeth says:

“I wanted both of my parents to walk me down the aisle because they have each played a huge role in my life, both creating my character and in modeling a healthy loving relationship.  Sam also had both of his parents walk him down the aisle.  We are two incredibly lucky people who have amazing parents and we wanted our ceremony to reflect this.”

I also have to sneak a peek in of their adorable ski lift ticket save the dates. Elizabeth’s brother found two bails of wire wickets and Elizabeth and Sam created the mock lift tickets. I adore how they turned out and it was such a great first impression of their wedding!
