Meet Our Animals

We currently have two Jennies (female donkeys) and two highland calves. We will offer cuddle and learning sessions at our farm and will transport our animals with a handler to events in and around Wichita. Our plan is to train and work with these animals and then add other species such as goats and ducks to our little farm.

Ranger is a black highland bull calf. He is as sweet as he is ornery. Ranger can't eat his hay without getting it all over his face, he LOVES his treats (range cubes), he is very curious about other animals and people and can be a bit of a bully sometimes when he wants them to share food. Ranger will be part of the cow cuddling program as long as possible but will eventually not be able to travel to events and will have a separate enclosure from Spunky as he will one day be our herd sire.

Spunky is the cutest little dunn colored heifer we've ever seen. She is super sweet and loves cuddles and chin scratches. She gets the zoomies often and will do just about anything for a treat. She is great on halter and lead and is generally very well behaved. She will be the main attraction for event visits and cow cuddles at our farm for we hope a very long time.

Mayfly and Junebug are our resident donkeys. They were rescued about a year ago and lived on a farm in Salina until coming to us this past new years eve. They are still learning to trust us and they are both expecting foals early this spring so they will not be traveling to events this year. They and their babies will be available for visits at our farm this summer.

Old Money

Old Money is one of my favorite aesthetics. So classic. So elegant. So old Hollywood. Think Black tie, pearls, cigars and whiskey bars. Sophistication that never goes out of style. This is timeless over trendy.

The right venue is the foundation of this vibe. You're looking for historic estates, grand manors, country clubs, European inspired gardens, grand ballrooms, large chandeliers, classic architecture. For more budget friendly options look for a hotel in an old historic building, or a space in an old university building or church.

Attire is elegant but simple. Black tuxes, silk or Mikado gowns with little or no embellishment. Simple pearl or diamond jewelry. Heirloom jewelry would be perfect here.

Decor is Luxury but subtle. Think monochromatic whites or ivory. Roses, hydrangeas, peonies with lush trailing greenery. Candles and antique or gilded candelabras.

China or fine porcelain on the tables, crystal glassware and silver or gold flatware. Calligraphy menus and personal, meaningful touches give total Old Money vibes such as monogrammed napkins, custom signature drinks.

Add to the experience with live music that sets the tone. A string quartet, jazz band or classical pianist would pair perfectly here. And if you can... roll up in or roll away at the end of the night in a vintage car. Think Rolls Royce or Bentley.

Love this but doesn't seem in your budget?
Look for an old historic building that you can rent.
Look for a dress on a resale site. StillWhite, The RealReal and Nearly Newlywed are great resources.
Get classy with your crafting. Make and print your own signage, programs and menus.
Quality of quantity. Think large grand centerpieces in the center and add candles in place of more flowers.

Boho

Boho weddings, short for Bohemian, are all the rage right now. And for good reason. Boho style is wildly romantic but gives more casual and free. Dreaming of walking down the aisle barefoot? This might just be your style.

The venue for this creative vibe is earthy and natural. Outdoor weddings work so well here. Create an aisle from old vintage rugs, hang a macrame curtain from the arbor.

The dress is more laid back. Think flowy lace, bell sleeves, open back, crowns of flowers. Earth toned suits, linen, leather loafers or again, barefoot in the park.

Decor is usually earth tones, neutrals to jewel tones with lots of texture. Pampas grass, wildflowers and dried preserved flowers and grasses are perfect for this style.

Incorporate natural elements in the reception with woven chargers, place cards adorned with pressed flowers. Natural wooden tables and linen or cheesecloth runners and napkins are stunning.

Keep it casual with a lounge area for your guests made up of vintage furniture, rugs and herb infused cocktails.

For the couple that likes to keep it casual, eclectic and fun, the Boho wedding is an excellent choice!

Romance

Most wedding styles are inherently romantic but I mean ROMANCE, do you feel me? Storybook, fairytale, horse drawn carriage romance.

You can achieve this in most venues with some planning. Beams draped with lights and chiffon fabrics would be dreamy.
