SnowBasin Wedding | Max and Savannah

Savannah and Max’s Wedding day portraits in the mountain was so beautiful. SnowBasin Utah has so much beauty to offer and I know there are so many couples who love the look but might not know where to start on planning their Utah mountain wedding so I’m so excited to help you get started with some ideas!

Planning a Utah mountain wedding offers a stunning backdrop, but requires careful planning. Choose the right season, factoring in weather and potential crowds. Select a suitable venue, whether it's a national park, private ranch, or DIY option. I always suggest once you have picked your location then look up on a google search the weather, sunrise, sunset and precipitation for that location to pick the optimal date and time. Then I suggest visiting the place, see how the parking situation is and if you will need to have a transportation service hired on your day. Then check to see what permits and regulations you will need.

Embrace the natural beauty by incorporating local elements and prioritizing what matters most to you on your wedding day.

Fun Planning Tips & Ideas:

• Incorporate local flavors: Serve a delicious meal featuring locally sourced ingredients like elk, bison, or huckleberries.

• Embrace the outdoors: Offer outdoor games and activities for your guests, such as hiking, horseback riding, or fly fishing.

• Create a bonfire: Gather around a crackling fire under the stars for an unforgettable evening.

• Use natural decor: Decorate your reception with wildflowers, pine cones, and other natural elements.

• Provide blankets and shawls: Keep your guests warm and cozy, especially during cooler evenings.

• Offer s'mores: A classic campfire treat that's perfect for a mountain wedding.

• Hire a live band or musician: Enjoy live music with a mountain vibe, such as bluegrass or folk music.

• Incorporate local crafts: Give your guests unique favors made by local artisans, such as handmade jewelry or pottery.

• Have a "first look" with a mountain view: Capture stunning photos with the breathtaking scenery as your backdrop.

• Encourage guests to dress comfortably: Suggest attire that is appropriate for the mountain environment, such as boots, jeans, and layers.

By incorporating these fun ideas, you can create a truly unique and memorable mountain wedding experience.

I hope this helps give you more inspiration for your special day!
