Lauren and Isaac’s Red Butte Garden Orangerie Wedding by Shannon Ferrell Photography.
If you’re looking for a botanical wedding venue that blends indoor comfort and mountain views, the Orangerie at Red Butte Garden in Salt Lake City offers both! Imagine exchanging vows in a glass-walled conservatory surrounded by beautiful greenery or in a stunning wide open garden full of color and fragrance.
Lauren and Isaac exchanged vows in the heart of Red Butte Garden, surrounded by vibrant florals, family, friends, and panoramic views of the Wasatch foothills. With the soft morning light filtering through the trees and over head vines their ceremony felt intimate, peaceful, and genuinely magical. Guests all gathered among rows of white chairs framing the ceremony space sharing subtle smiles and happy tears.
Following the ceremony, we gathered the bridal party for portraits. Lauren and Isaac had thoughtfully chosen a green, white, and black color palette for their wedding party to complement the surrounding landscape. The bridesmaids deep green gowns created a timeless aesthetic that blended seamlessly with the garden’s natural beauty.
After group photos, we took some time to explore the garden for formal portraits. The venue offered to drive us through the garden on a golf cart so we were able to stop in many beautiful spots in a short amount of time. This wedding day was mid July so we were able to find some really great flowers in bloom!
Guests were welcomed into the Orangerie, Red Butte Garden’s elegant glasshouse venue, for a laid-back brunch reception filled with love and laughter and waffles!
As the celebration came to a close and the last guests began to head home, Lauren and Isaac stayed behind in the quiet glow of the Orangerie. They decided to sign their marriage certificate surrounded by the greenery and floral arrangements from their brunch reception. it was a peaceful and grounding moment to reflect on the morning. No crowds, no timelines, just a simple signature sealing their vows in the most elegant, intimate way.
Lauren and Isaac’s wedding at Red Butte Garden was the perfect mix of elegance and nature, romance and realness. The outdoor ceremony, thoughtful brunch, and peaceful moments exploring the grounds made their day one to remember—not just for them, but for everyone who was lucky enough to be there.
