Winter Love: Amy and Evan at Devil's Thumb

Our friend Amy married one of our longtime chums, Evan, on Dec. 29 at Devil's Thumb Ranch. 

Amy is gentle and radiant, graceful and tender with a smile to die for. Evan is wry and charming, gregarious and devilish. Together, they make a perfect and rare fit and we were happy for each of them. 

Appropriate for their personalities and the quiet snow covered fields, they wanted natural, comfortable mountain decor to grace their wonderful evening. 

They chose Jill Kull of Cloud 9 Weddings to coordinate the day and Katie with Van Buren Photography to capture the sentiments and revelry. The Perfect Petal brought layers and layers of candlelight; hanging, clustered, twinkling, candlelight. 

Evergreen trees were wrapped in linen knots and white lights adding to the intimate ambiance; long pine branches and pine cones infused the air at the ceremony and a river of winter foliage and found antique vases flowed down the center of the 50' feasting table in the barn. 

The girls requested romantic hair flowers and petite lush bouquets to complement Amy's bouquet. 

Bold, timeless florals topped the simple yet elegant cake, adding a seasonal, personal touch.

'Twas a magical night.
