Sophisticated and Saturated: A Modern Wedding Blending Summer into Fall at Aspen Ranch

By Kevin Harson25 July 2025

For Maria and Kameron’s Rehearsal Dinner, their color palette was pewter, plum, and deep red. For the wedding day, their color palette was rich, colorful, and vibrant – fuchsia, pink, deep red, orange, yellow, and plum.

Maria’s vision for the day was modern, with a pop of color. Brandy of Blue Chalk Events created a vibrant color palette, blending the end of summer with the beginning of Autumn. She layered shades of pink, embracing elements of natural wood and rattan textures, giving a sophisticated, chic yet relaxed feel.

Maria’s dress came from Bella Rose Bridal in Edmond, Oklahoma. She selected a timeless, off-the-shoulder dress with floral lace detail on the bodice and layers of tulle to create an A-line style. The off-shoulder strap of her dress was removable, turning the dress into a strapless.

The bridesmaids purchased their gowns at Bella Bridesmaids in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. They selected dresses in various shades of pink and prints, allowing each of their personalities and styles to shine.

Kameron’s suit came from a local business, William & Lauren. William & Lauren is known for their custom suits, including custom liners for their jackets featuring whatever their client would like. Kameron had photos of Maria and their pups as the print for his liner.

The Rehearsal Dinner was at First National Center, with the First National providing dinner and bartending services. The couple provided rehearsal dinner guests with Caesar salad, red wine braised short rib, potato gratin, and caramelized carrots. To satisfy the sweet tooth, their guests received custom-decorated sugar cookies (depicting their sweet golden doodle pups) and a surprise chocolate cake to celebrate Maria’s sister and brother-in-law (whose wedding anniversary happened to be the same day as the Rehearsal Dinner). For drink choices, First National offered a variety of wine and beer choices. For the wedding reception, catering and bartending were provided by Pepperoni Grill. Hors D’oeuvres were served during cocktail hour and included Spinach Artichoke Costini, Bruschetta Costini, and Bacon Wrapped Jalapenos. For dinner, the couple had a buffet filled with Caesar Salad, Pepperoni Grill’s House Made Bread, Cheese Tortellini, and Pepperoni Grill’s House Specialty Lasagna. Their drink menu consisted of 3 wine choices (Cabernet, Pinot Grigio, and White Zinfandel) and 3 beer choices (Michelob, Blue Moon, and Corona.)

XO By Haleigh Kenney created stunning floral arrangements that overflowed with all the pops of color Maria had hoped for. Floral trimmed the circular ceremony stage, while reception tables were filled with high and low arrangements. A massive installation featuring floral and lamp shades commanded the attention of the reception space and was perfectly complemented

Mishelle Handy created a timeless white cake, decorated with floral pieces for the main wedding cake, and for the “groom’s” cake, she created an adorable cake featuring the couple’s Golden Doodle pups, Chloe and Oakley.

The couple wanted their Golden Doodle pups to be a part of their day, so they had floral collars made for them to wear when they came to visit for a few minutes immediately following the ceremony. In addition, the couple had their dogs’ faces printed for them to use and hold up while dancing during the reception.
