The One: Sheridan hadn’t even started dating Briggs yet when she found her dream dress in the window of Vera Wang’s showroom while on a casual stroll with her mom. “I said, ‘If I ever get married, I’m going to get that dress,’” Sheridan says. “So as soon as I got engaged, my mom said, ‘Let’s call Vera Wang.’ ”

Scroll With It: A stemmed glass at each place setting held a scroll place card made of handcrafted paper courtesy of Mikyla Marie Manu, the couple’s Scottsdale, Arizona–based stationer. “She makes all of her own paper in studio,” says wedding planner Julian Leaver.

Go Fish: Fly-fishing is one of Briggs and Sheridan’s favorite pastimes, and the silhouette on the side of the groom’s cake was taken from an actual photo of the couple fly-fishing together in Crested Butte, Colorado.

Out With A Bang: A fireworks display accompanied the couple’s getaway in a 1957 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud. Sheridan picked the vehicle because it’s one of Briggs’ favorite vintage cars—and it just so happened to pair perfectly with the wedding’s color scheme.
