Blake + Melanie // White Raven // Champagne + Linen // Western Montana Wedding Designers and Planners

We have been extremely lucky to be able to work with many delightful couples since the start of Champagne + Linen in 2016. We like to work with couples who reflect who we are and what our brand is - contemporary couples who want to enjoy what Montana has to offer with their loved ones. Melanie and Blake are a true C+L couple through and through. Their summer wedding last June at White Raven in Alberton, MT was the absolute perfect day filled with lovely little details that we still dream about.

It all started with some gold flatware from Target. Melanie saw photos from our White Raven winter styled shoot that featured this flatware, and gave C+L a call. She wanted to know if we would be able to help her find similar gold flatware. Although, Melanie and Blake did not end up using the same concept for their tables, the table setting at their wedding is still one of our favorites (Yes, we say that about every table setting).

The simple and clean decorations complimented White Raven’s modern elegance perfectly. They had a friend bringing ferns all the way from Washington for their centerpieces. Melanie and Blake had Polaroid cameras for their guests to document the day with. Homemade lip chap as a party favor. And a table of delicious finger desserts provided by Poppy Bakery (Mariah ended up ordering a dozen potato chip chocolate chip cookies from Poppy after that wedding…). 

The highlight of the wedding however was seeing how close friends and family were. Their special day included:

• the newlyweds getting (Smirnoff) iced by the officiant right after the ceremony and again during dinner
• tequila signature drinks
• Melanie’s gorgeous wedding gown
• Blake’s dapper suit
• The mother of the bride scream-singing Bitch Better Have My Money by Rihanna.

Lets not forget the fact that Melanie and Blake modeled for our 2017 Hallowedding shoot in Seattle, WA.
