Fall Wedding In Girdwood, Alaska at Raven Glacier Lodge

A fall wedding is always pure magic.

It is one of the best times to get married in Alaska if you are wanting an abundant supply of Alaskan grown flowers.

Danielle and Paul got married at Raven Glacier Lodge, which is one of my absolute favorite venues in Alaska.

Raven Glacier Lodge is a short drive from Anchorage, Alaska, where all your guests will fly into, yet it feels so remote and quiet.

Any wedding along the Turnagain Arm gets the added benefit of gorgeous, rugged and stunning photo ops.

Here a Gardenwild Floral/Turnstone Farm bridal bouquet in warm autumn tones makes the whole picture pop.

Detail shots like this will be part of your wedding heirloom.

For Danielle and Paul, I cut one of the largest and most stunning dahlias in my garden. I am always amazed at how one flower can create so much abundance.

I love the detail of the soft and exquisite dahlia petals next to the personal wedding details.

I loaded Danielle’s warm-autumn-toned bridal bouquet with amazing varieties from the Turnstone Farm garden including dahlias, rudbeckia, dara, stock, snapdragons, hibiscus, nigella pods, amaranth and so many others.

I loved the arch I made for Danielle and Paul’s ceremony right next to the Raven Glacier Lodge reflecting pool.

When I create wedding florals I get to pull all sorts of unique flowers and foliage from the garden.

A few extra-special ones in the arch were trailing nasturtiums, nigella pods and spruce boughs.

An early-September Alaskan wedding always gets lots of dahlias.

On the left above is the beautiful Cafe au Lait in an altar arrangement. On the right (a close up of the arch) includes the deep red “Cornel” and the bright and sunny “Dreamcatcher”.

Alaskan grown flowers adorned this fall wedding at Raven Glacier Lodge.

Warm, autumn tones fill out this lush and one-of-a-kind bridesmaids bouquet.
