GLAMPING WONDERLAND:
A WEDDING AT FLYING HORSESHOE RANCH

JACKIE & BRENT

This wedding will go down in history as one of the great challenges in the history of Simply Wed! Between the 6-ish months we had to plan, the ONLY weekend date that would work (July 4th weekend!), and a dream of a venue not quite in existence yet…we took on the challenge and created a glamping resort in the woods of the “Back 40” at Flying Horseshoe Ranch in Cle Elum. We trucked in glamping tents and furniture from CA, a sweet Airstream retro-fitted to be a lounge and bar from Bellingham and curious guests from all over the world. Four days of camping, activities, fun, catering and celebration were the end result of the intense work of the team that helped bring this glamping wonderland to life.
