Dude Ranch Elegance: The Ulrich Wedding and Their Personalized Life Logo
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains at their family estate in Boone, North Carolina, the Ulrich wedding was a day to remember. Blending the rustic charm of a dude ranch with the sophistication of Ralph Lauren, the couple curated every detail with their custom Life Logo™—a design that reflected their unique style and love story.

A Wedding Woven with a Life Logo™
The celebration began with an unforgettable invitation suite: double-thick cardstock with copper foil accents, tied with velvet ribbon, a delicate feather, and custom wax seal. This crest wasn’t just a design—it became the thread running through the day, appearing on cups, cocktail napkin sleeves, and even in a remarkable branding ceremony that left guests in awe.
Color, Tradition & Mountain Beauty
Though it was the start of winter, the estate glowed with vibrant blue skies and rich fall colors. Warm hues filled the ceremony and centerpieces, perfectly echoing the surrounding mountains. Guests enjoyed cozy fall drinks and a grazing table of seasonal favorites during cocktail hour, every detail accented with the couple’s Life Logo™.
A Branding Ceremony to Remember
One of the most striking moments came as the couple branded a cowhide rug with their Life Logo™. Inspired by their meeting on a Colorado cattle ranch, this symbolic act honored both their beginnings and their shared love for the ranching lifestyle. It was a powerful, deeply personal gesture that their guests will never forget.
An Unforgettable Evening
As night fell, the celebration continued with a lively reception—delicious food, live music, and a bonfire under the stars. Laughter, love, and intentional design filled every corner of the evening. From the branding ceremony to the Blue Ridge estate setting, every detail was a reflection of the Ulrichs’ story and the joy of beginning their life together.
A Life Logo™ is more than a crest—it’s a way to tell your story through every detail of life’s biggest celebrations.
