Sarah Means, co-founder of our go-to cowgirl boot brand Miron Crosby, wed Preston Ward, a partner at Locke Management, in her hometown of Marfa, Texas. This week, we featured their colorful nuptials as our April 2026 Digital Cover, and Sarah is back, sharing her Dream Registry with us.
Even though Sarah and Preston knew of each other for nearly a decade, it wasn’t until they sat next to each other on a party bus on the way to a Garth Brooks concert, when they felt a spark. “He asked me to coffee a few days later, and I was devastated—I thought coffee meant I’d been friend-zoned,” Sarah smiles. “But thankfully, he followed it up with a proper dinner date.”
After a little more than two years together, Preston proposed in Aspen on New Year’s Eve, and they began planning their late-summer wedding in Marfa.
And today, Sarah is looking back at that special weekend and sharing her Dream Registry, leaning into her self-described “whimsical, layered, colorful, a little bit irreverent, a little bit tailored with a touch of western” aesthetic.
Heart of The Home
Colorful kitchen pieces are always welcoming.
I approach decorating the same way I approach designing boots: I love playing with juxtapositions—old with new, found with made, and always incorporating pieces that tell a story. My process is less about following a strict formula and more about layering elements over time—things I’ve collected on travels, family heirlooms, vintage finds, contemporary art. I’m drawn to spaces that feel soulful and lived-in, where everything has a bit of personality, and nothing feels too contrived. I usually start with a few anchor pieces—something sculptural, a bold textile, a favorite piece of art —and build around that. I’m not afraid of color or pattern, and I always aim for a balance of sophistication and whimsical. The end goal is a space that feels collected, personal, and a little unexpected.
Setting The Table
Mixing pops of color makes for better gatherings.
We LOVE to cook and entertain, so I focused on pieces that feel both special and a little unexpected—things that make a dinner party memorable, but also elevate eating leftovers on any given Tuesday. Preston is an avid breadmaker, so the Le Creuset bread oven and a gorgeous butter dish were must-haves for him—practical, but still beautiful. We’re Texans through and through, so Tabasco is always on the table, and now with the chic little hot sauce holder, it actually feels elevated! I also can’t wait to serve Arnold Palmers or margaritas out of the hand-painted pitcher we chose—it’s just so cheerful.
Entertaining At Home
Cocktail hour is better with a pair of Miron Crosby boots
And as this is a Dream Registry series—emphasis on the “dream” —Miron Crosby boots are totally allowed (and encouraged). Sarah’s top pick would be the Elaine Creme Boots. “With the pop of something blue, I think they’re just perfect,” she states.
Sarah leaves us with sage advice for couples currently making their own Over The Moon Registries: “Register for pieces that feel both beautiful and true to how you actually live. Be yourselves!! It’s easy to get caught up in tradition or trends, but the most special items are the ones you’ll reach for all the time.”
