Daily Mail.com reported the 23-year-old thought it would be romantic to pick the flowers outside her family's property in Lincoln, Nebraska, USA.
Little did she realise that snow-on-the mountains can cause a reaction similar to poison ivy and she woke up the next day with her face covered in a nasty rash from the sap residue.
She told Inside Edition: "I was the scariest looking person at my wedding.
"I was in so much pain, nobody knew what to do."

Christine's day got even worse when she arrived at hospital to find the emergency room closed.
Incredibly, she braved the pain to walk down the aisle to marry husband-to-be Jon.
But the newlyweds then planned to miss their own wedding reception because her "eyes were constantly watering and she just looked miserable", according to Jon, 24.
Christine said: "I thought I was dying at that point."

She headed for the hospital where medics gave her eye drops, pain medication and a steroid shot.
A picture posted on Instagram shows her getting a "shot in the butt" at the hospital while wearing her full bridal gown.
Three hours later, Christine arrived at the reception but still wasn't able to eat or drink.
By this time she swapped the wedding dress for a hastily bought t-shirt which read "bride".
“I didn’t wear my dress into the reception mainly because I went fully blind and had been tripping over it since I couldn’t see where I was walking,” she said.
A week later after the swelling went down, the photographer arranged a surprise wedding reception.

This time she picked a hyoallergenic bouquet.
The couple had been together for five years before getting married in September.
Christine said that the experience has brought the couple even closer together.
