From the bride, Montana: When I started planning my wedding I knew I wanted it to have a unique and romantic feel. I didn’t want to use a venue that had been used before because I wanted a once-in-a-lifetime wedding. After countless hours of trying to find the perfect location for my wedding, my mom and I were driving through Salt Lake City and I turned to her and said … “What about Trolley Square?” Both of us had never heard of a wedding taken place at Trolley Square so we did not know if that could even be a possibility, so we had to try. We immediately went into the office at Trolley Square and proposed our crazy idea… The management looked at us a little hesitant and said, “no one has ever attempted it but you could rent out one of the old building spaces… but you will have to do everything, from the lighting to the draping… that would be all up to you.” We were elated, we knew we could take a space and turn it into our dream venue… months and months went into planning how we were going to make this space work, and on the day of the wedding it was perfect, just how I had always dreamed! Our décor consisted long wood farm tables, hundreds upon hundreds of gold votives, beautiful flowers and bistro lights…

Inspiration for the color palette and design: My color palette was gold, ivory, and light pink – I wanted to keep it very simple and romantic. The whole venue was a DIY – one of my favorite projects was the way the C and the M were hung in old door frames… it took us a while to figure out how we were going to make those letters float in that space, we ended up creating a frame, stretching burlap across it and attaching the letters… this was probably my favorite part of décor of the wedding… I think it went along with the venue and space so well.

  • I adore the cake in your blog, do you know if the golden branches on the cake are editable or what they used for the gold branches?
