{Real Wedding} Rustic Vintage Wedding, Devil's Thumb Ranch- Part 1

I love being a wedding planner in Colorado, we have such a variety of venue styles available to us.  You can be in in a chic downtown location one week and a gorgeous mountain location like Devil's Thumb Ranch in Fraser the next.

As soon as they saw Devil's Thumb, Eryn and Sean knew it was where they wanted to be for their wedding day.  We have so many stunning details to share we had to divide this wedding in to two parts...so today, the wedding ceremony!

1. 

Eryn had a clear picture of wanting an elegant, rustic vintage feel, Restoration Hardware style.

The bridal party got ready in one of their cabins on the ranch.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A station with a custom sign showing cities that have a special meaning to the couple, and trunks full of shawls greeted guests.  They were also welcomed with a glass of champagne before being escorted to the ceremony.

 Rich orange tones and a deep chocolate were used as the main color palette for the fall wedding. 

We designed a pattern and a logo for all the paper products, and then her grandfather carved it in to the ring bearers box.  What a great keepsake!

 

 

 

Tomorrow all about the reception!
 


Thanks to all these involved in this gorgeous day!

{Real Wedding} Jill & Paul -Westin Downtown Denver

It seems like it was just a short time ago that I coordinated Jill's sister's wedding? We were honored that they choose to work with us for wedding planning again!

We were back at their church, Bethany Lutheran for the ceremony.
I love that moment when the groom sees his bride for the first time!

Jill knew she wanted a rich purple and apple green for her colors, with an outdoorsy, natural feeling. She loved these centerpieces in our portfolio, so we modified them for her style!  Plus we added in some tree and apple touches for that outdoorsy feeling.

The wedding reception was at the Westin Tabor Center in Denver. Some of our favorite people work at the Westin, so it's always a pleasure to do a wedding there!


Love her "Leaf Your Name" tree guestbook!

Apples served as Escort Cards, with the leaf color indicating the guest's entree choice

 

We designed a variety of styles for the table centerpieces, all keeping with the apple and natural theme.

 

It was a great party, the dance floor was packed all night!


However,  I felt so bad for Jill that she had a little cold during the wedding, and I didn't feel quite right either. By the end of the night....she was off to her honeymoon to recover and as I drove home from her wedding at 2am I was off to the ER....not a cold, just a little case of appendicitis!

{Trash the Dress} These Trash the Dress Wedding Photos are Hot!

We wanted to start the New Year with warm thoughts...and nothing is warmer than this hot Trash the Dress session!

We had the best time with Lacey and Nick at their destination wedding (Turtle Bay Resorts, Oahu). The day after we were up bright and early for a trash the dress session that totally rocked!

We even had a little wildlife encounter when a seal came up on the beach and tried to steal my flip flop.  It was all captured by Jason of Jason+Gina.

 

Here's my pic of him in action.....
 

 of course it's nothing compared to his shots...seriously, wow!
