{Wedding Design} Love is In the Air Design Table

We just did the bridal show at the JW Marriott in Cherry Creek.   

Here’s a few pictures of our all white, Love is In the Air themed table.

Amy from the Flower House and I really wanted to do a glass table where the centerpiece appeared to go right through the glass, and get a great floating feeling.  I love how Amy added the pussywillows which just softened it enough, and made it look like they were holding up the table.

Anna Be Bridal Salon added a beautiful gown to our vignette and totally captured the airy feel.

We also wanted to use cotton candy to add that fluffy cloud feel....the staff could come and pour your signature drink over the cloudy poof and the cotton candy would melt...quite a first course!  

Happy Spring……Love is in the Air!

Wedding Design Workshop

I was on cloud nine during our first wedding design workshop…I had the best time presenting our award winning design secrets, and helping the brides discover their own personal wedding style through a series of exercises.   We even had grooms attend...and they even loved it!   

We did a short presentation and then the brides were off to the hands on portion of the workshop where they used what they had learned about their style and our design library to create their wedding inspiration board.

 

We had vendors on hand that worked with them to talk about flowers that were in season, how they can pull their ideas in to their paper items (menus, programs, etc), and of course we pulled out linens and set up tables so they could get really get a feel for their look.

"I highly recommend this workshop to any and all planning on getting married. I left with more knowledge, ideas, pointers than any website or magazine could ever offer. The flow of the seminar made it fun. The wedding board is such a great way to communicate with vendors. Thanks for giving me the tools I need to make my day extra special" - Kristy A.

We met with each bride to give suggestions for ideas they may want to pull in and make sure they had a clear picture of their direction…I was in wedding design heaven!

One bride told me she really didn’t know what she was getting in to when she came, she thought it would be just like doing it on Pinterest, but once she was done she was shocked that it was so different, and that her vision was so much clearer than anything she had shared with her vendors from Pinterest.

I love Pinterest as much as the next person and it is a great tool, but unless you know how to pull all those ideas together in to a cohesive look you’re going to struggle with finding your wedding style!

"The Wedding Design Workshop was so helpful. I had no clue what I was going to choose for my colors, let alone my theme. By the end of the class my board was full of ideas on flowers, linens, style, and organization. Thanks!" - Martha A.

Our next Wedding Design Workshop is on Saturday, April 14^th, you can click the link below for more information and to register.  The last one sold out, so don't wait!

{Photo of the Week} Love Our Twilight Wedding

We recently were at the Sports Authority Stadium in Denver for the Bridal Festivals Bridal Show.
We didn't have a booth, instead we did their inspiration gallery.  7 different themed vignettes, and we are going to share those with you this week. Each one had the table, the gown that went with the theme, as well as a bouquet.

Since it's Valentine's Day we are sharing our Twilight Themed Table called " I Dream of Being With You Forever".

  I love these apples as place cards! (think Twilight book cover with the apple in Edwards hands)

 Movie quotes  are written on the ribbon (we couldn't tie it on the bouquet at the time of the photo since the bouquet ribbon hadn't dried yet, but eventually it was a bow)

 Red tulip with feathers for reception chair decor accent (think New Moon book cover)

Feathers add a little bit of the animalistic side of our Twilight characters to the feel of the centerpieces.

Happy Valentines Day!

{Real Wedding} Welcome Guests, Horses, Goats, & Chickens-Avalanche Ranch Wedding, Aspen

I have to say that I was really intrigued when Elizabeth called me and told me she wanted pygmy goats and miniature horses at her wedding.  I thought, did I hear that right?  Then she told me all about what she was doing and I was in!

 
 The wedding took place just outside of Aspen at a great unique wedding venue, Avalanche Ranch.

The girls got ready outside of one of the cabins....

 

 ...and the guys got ready too....

 

!

I love that she choose a bright red bouquet, and that the bridesmaids had white bouquets!

 

 

 

The ceremony and cocktail time were at Avalanche Ranch where guests sat on covered hay bales while they enjoyed the wedding ceremony. 

 

There was a moment during the processional when we had a little challenge.  The goats didn't realize it was their cue to walk down the aisle and protested for a few seconds.

 

Chickens roamed freely around the property, which (being from Highlands Ranch) I thought was so much fun and totally added to the rustic farm feel! 

There were pashminas for the guests to wrap themselves with if they got chilled during the cocktail hour that followed on the lawn in front of the barn. Guests were served champagne and the brides favorite, chocolate truffles. They were encouraged to "Log In" on their wood slab guestbook.

My favorite series of photos....

 

 

After a few photos, the couple greeted their guests with a toast, and joined the cocktail hour. Even the goats and horse mingled.

 

 

 

Then the guests were off to Six 89 Restaurant for dinner..... (The food was ahhhmazing, and the dessert heavenly! I would drive back there right now just for that dessert!)

 

 Some dancing.....

 

...and some tradition involving a well decorated salt lick, and I believe some tequila!

Thanks Jenna Walker Photography for amazing pictures!
