Meet Emily & Kian.
Emily & Kian are the real deal. They knew that they wanted to hire us to plan a wedding that felt whimsical, vintage, and fun – with the goal of making their wedding feel like Bilbo Baggin’s birthday party in Lord of the Rings. Count us in!!
Their color palette was inspired by a vintage wildflower print that they’ve used throughout their printed materials. They loved the burnt sienna, forest green, and brass with flowery accents like poppy red, cornflower blue, and lilac.
A Tale of Two First Looks
First, it’s time for the happiest part of the day – when Emily & Kian got to see each other for the first time. In the trees of Rib Mountain State Park, they got to meet and enjoy each other before the business of the day gets underway.
And then, it’s Dad’s turn!
As forementioned, Emily and Kian wanted their wedding to be creative, vibrant, and reminiscent of Bilbo Baggin’s birthday party. The ladies wore tulle midi dresses to match the texture of the bride’s dress, and the guys wore brown tweed vests with wool pants. They chose brown to contrast the green grass and trees at the venue, while sticking with the vintage hobbit-inspired vibe.
The Ceremony: Rib Mountain State Park Amphitheater
Rib Mountain State Park is Wisconsin’s highest point, and such a breathtaking spot for hiking, exploring, and getting married! The amphitheater overlooks central Wisconsin and has such a gorgeous spot for cozy, intimate wedding ceremonies. The happy vibes continued throughout the ceremony on this perfect Wisconsin day.
The Reception: The Folk Farm
Then, it was time to move to The Folk Farm for the reception, and Emily’s design and attention to detail was on display. Emily did all the design for the wedding. She made their banner by hand, and did numerous sewing projects for the wedding. She painted the logo, and had her gorgeous, creative touch on the design. We were happy to help see it through that her vision came to life!
When they chose a reception venue, they chose The Folk Farm because of its perfect amount of vintage charm. They were sold by the beautiful interior of the barn, and the outdoor bar.

Emily and Kian were so smart to choose the vendors who could grasp their lovely, creative, vibrant vision and have the artistic chops to pull it off. We loved working with these wedding pros and hope you can check them out! To see each vendor’s website, click on their name.
