An Unforgettable Wedding Weekend for Karen and Christopher at Turpin Meadow Ranch
July 16, 2022
Karen and Christopher McPherson’s wedding was a vision of elegance and wonder, set against the breathtaking backdrop of Turpin Meadow in Jackson, Wyoming. For her special day, Karen chose a stunning Anne Barge gown, a decision she made even before the venue and date were finalized.
“It was peak COVID, and everything felt uncertain,” Karen shared. “I couldn’t commit to much besides my groom, but finding my dress made it feel like this was really happening. Locking in my gown was a moment of certainty amidst all the unknowns.” The gown, discovered at Kleinfeld in New York City, brought Karen a sense of peace and joy during an otherwise challenging time.
The day unfolded with magical moments, yet the most breathtaking of all came right after the ceremony. As a working ranch, Turpin Meadow offered a rare and extraordinary experience when the ranch released a herd of horses to run free. “It felt like a dream, watching these beautiful creatures gallop across the field,” Karen said with awe.
The wedding celebration spanned an entire weekend, creating unforgettable memories with close family and friends who explored the beauty of Jackson Hole together. Highlights included a lively happy hour at the iconic Cowboy Bar, a horseback ride through the National Forest, a scenic hike in the Tetons, and a cozy evening by the campfire complete with s’mores. “It was a weekend full of adventure and love, a true Wyoming experience,” Karen added.
After the festivities, Karen chose to have her gown preserved by Elegance Preserved, ensuring that her beloved dress would remain pristine. “It’s the most beautiful piece of clothing I own, and I wanted to entrust it to the very best,” she said. The reviews and expertise of Elegance Preserved’s preservation service reassured her, allowing her to keep this piece of her wedding day safely and beautifully preserved, even within their elegant wedding dress preservation boxes.
For Karen and Christopher, the wedding was more than a ceremony—it was a magical weekend filled with love, adventure, and timeless memories that will be cherished forever
