From her custom hat branded with her wedding date to her bridal cowgirl boots, Jade took Western wedding chic to a whole new level. And not only that, but the way Matt looks at his bride as she walks down the aisle? You really can’t find love like that anywhere else.

Where better to get married than in a place literally called Paradise, Utah? Between the warm summer weather and the endlessly green foliage in every shot, we’re over here looking up how far it is from here to Little Bear River Retreat. Throw in the aisle rugs they used (which were repurposed for their dance floor at the reception), and the gorgeous florals and color palette Jade chose, and this wedding brings a whole new meaning to ‘a place of pure bliss.’ 

Bridal Boots and Hats

And we can’t forget to mention Jade’s bridal looks; from her jaw-dropping jacquard wedding gown to the reception dress complete with that perfectly bridal-colored cowgirl hat, it’s safe to say that this western wedding is one we’ll never forget. Oh, and if you’re thinking of doing a flower crown, here’s your sign to do it. Jade’s bridal look makes it feel like she stepped out of a fairy garden right into her I dos.

Now let’s talk about the groom—we can’t forget to mention his incredible hat! With that handsome green suit and, of course, those reptilian cowboy boots, Matt’s groom look is more than perfect for paradise; it’s ridiculously romantic. We’ve never seen someone more in love with his wife!

But what’s better than a Western wedding? A Western wedding where the guests understood the assignment. From this all-red look with matching boots to the perfectly coordinated yet mismatched bridesmaids (did you spot the matching flower girl?), Jade and Matt’s friends and family made their wedding photos all the more memorable. And Pinterest-able!

These photos speak for themselves; not only was everything so stunning, but every moment was just as enjoyable for such a summery, perfectly Western wedding day.

Love is in the Details

The details are where the Western wedding moments really shine—and the sweet ones too. The inside of Matt’s wedding ring is engraved with the words ‘always and forever.’ And their soda bar menu and custom wedding cocktails called ‘The Matt’ (whiskey sour) and ‘The Jade’ (blackberry moscow mule). But the best part? Their guest book was a deck of playing cards!

If you’re looking for some Western wedding inspo, start here with Jade and Matt’s perfect day in Paradise, literally. Make sure you bring your boots, you’ll need them to walk down the aisle!
