Alpaca My Bags and Run Away With You | Southern Illinois Alpaca Ranch

Alpacas are trendy and are starting to make appearances at weddings all over the country. These adorable fuzzy animals make the perfect photo-op that will make your wedding hashtag flood Instagram. Lindsay Stockhecke of Deliciously Ordinary set out to find local alpacas to collaborate for her very first styled bridal photo shoot for I DO: In Southern Illinois. Did she ever deliver! Rolling Oak Alpaca Ranch brought Maca and Elon to star along with model Mackenzie Martin at Havisham House in Alto Pass. We could gush about these adorable alpacas, but we’ll let the pictures speak for themselves.

With their gentle nature and incredibly adorable faces, alpacas are a versatile element to your wedding. According to Lindsay, they will fit into any wedding vibe whether it is bohemian or rustic.

“The alpacas were actually super well-behaved and cooperated better than I would have expected. They seemed to be a bit anxious at times, but that’s understandable. They were very sweet and so adorable! Rolling Oak Alpaca Ranch was such a good business partner, and I would recommend them any day of the week! Alpacas are the best way to spruce up any wedding or event in my opinion.” - Mackenzie Martin, model
