Olive trees were in the yard of Renee Massey’s (24 and a detention officer) home growing up, so she gave Crissy Saint (29 and a senior communication strategist) a custom engagement ring made from an olive tree as a reminder that their home is together now. They exchanged their vows at Segner Country Ranch Estate in Sedona, Arizona surrounded by family, friends and their dog, Sawyer. The couple created a rustic farm aesthetic by fashioning mason jars for table flowers, burlap runners and wooden crates filled with hay to hold the honey jar favors, and incorporated a color palette of teal and yellow that popped against the red rock backdrop. The couple shared their first dance to “I Don’t Dance” by Lee Brice. “We met two-stepping to another song of Lee Brice and chose this song because Renee originally declined by offer to slow dance when we first met! Since then, we’ve come a long way,” says Crissy.

Crissy wore a custom-made and tailored tweed wool suit complete with a bow tie and Frye oxfords.
Renee wore a custom-altered gown from Destiny’s Bride. The veil was used as an add-on skirt that laid on top of the dress.
Renee’s bouquet included a blend of yellow roses, craspedia, white freesia and aster tied with burlap ribbon. The bridesmaids bouquets added yellow daisies.
The six female attendants wore different styles of turquoise dresses with matching necklaces and cowboy boots. The male attendants wore brown slacks and suspenders with matching turquoise bow ties and brown oxfords.
Renee wore cowboy boots with a turquoise design to match the rustic atmosphere and color palette.
