Artist Kristy Rice of Momental Designs and a talented team of vendors transformed the destination of Yellowstone National Park. They created a “Painter’s Wedding,” including a contrasting color palette used sparingly to allow nature’s bounty to be the true focal point. To recreate this gorgeous vision for your own event, reference the vendor list below. We would like to extend a special thanks to Kristy Rice of Momental Designs for the styling and stationery and to Emily Clarke Events for the design and planning.
