Couture Colorado – The Venue Guide!

Couture Colorado has done it again!  I am delighted to share with you the latest awesome development for this already pretty amazing website / Colorado wedding source.  It’s the Couture Colorado venue guide.  What I love the most – these venues (some older and established and some new and eager) all share in the excitement that IS the Colorado Wedding Experience.  Every single one of these venues offer something new.  And pretty.  And fun.  So let’s do a wedding at each of them – shall we?

Love This Day + Colorado Vow Renewal

There are so many reasons to love this day.   Tiffany and CR (of the lovely Brinton Studios) renewing their vows so their daughter could  be a part – perfection.  The Manor House - wonderful.  Vera Wang Dress from Anna Be - yes, please.  Gorgeous rentals from A Vintage Affair.  A lush and lovely table scape focusing on neutral colors and textures (and feathers!) heavenly.  Did I mentioned the marshmallow chandelier??  Divine . . .

I was absolutely honored and thrilled to work with Tiffany, CR and Bella to help create this pretty perfect day.

Tatum and Andy’s Engagement Session with In Photography

I can’t wait for Tatum and Andy’s April wedding at Devil’s Thumb Ranch!  I actually met Tatum and Andy when they were visiting the Ranch in September while I was setting up Neysa and Scott’s wedding (honestly, they saw me moving all the decor from the outside ceremony site in the pouring rain while we were resetting the ceremony in the Timberhouse)  Maybe that was it – they knew that I will hustle and make the day lovely!  And I am tickled pink that In Photography is going to be onsite capturing this gorgeous day.  Did I mention that the design is to die for???  Neutrals and balsa wood flowers . . . stay tuned for that one!!!

Tatum and Andy – you are going to love your wedding day!!!

Liz and Nick – Wild Horse Inn Wedding

Liz and Nick are sweet.  And smart. And seriously the most considerate bride and groom ever!  Liz and I had planned the design for their July wedding at the Wild Horse Inn in Tabernash using bright red,burgundy and bright blue.  Fun and bold and we built everything around hearts roses (they are gorgeous and they open almost like a peony.  Trust me – they are awesome)  Soooooo, when Liz called me 3 weeks before the wedding and told me that one of her best friends was coming to the wedding (yaaa!) and that she was deathly allergic to roses (booooo!) we had to scramble (i.e redesign the tables IN BUDGET without rose).  I was able to redesign using carnations and orchids – and I was pretty darn happy with the result .. .

May we all have friends that are this considerate.  A huge thank you to Rachel Terry of Stellar Photography, Suzi Carroll (Winter Park’s own cake lady!) for the delicious cake and the Wild Horse Inn for making yet another wedding simply awesome.

Errin and Colin | WildHorse Inn Winter Wedding

I love Colorado weddings.  I love big over the top HUGE spectacles.  But the small gorgeous intimate winter elopements (with a few friends and family members) make me giddy.  Case in point – Errin and Colin’s April wedding at the Wild Horse Inn in Tabernash last year.  Sweet and lovely – we built the flowers around bright and happy purples and reds (orchids and roses) for this 14 person wedding.  As always Wild Horse blew us away and Rachel Terry from Stellar Photography captured these lovely images from a really really good day.

Love this day

And yes, every winter wedding should have a hot chocolate bar.  Just saying . . .

Inspiration Board for a Vow Renewal

How simply sweet is this?  When CR Brinton (of Brinton Studios) called me and told me that he and Tiffany wanted to do a vow renewal to celebrate 10 years together – I think I burst into tears and said what can I do?  What can I do???  Intimate and sweet, this is going to be in a field and all about their incredible 5 year old daughter (who had some pretty awesome design contributions – I have to say – if you want to plan a magical wedding, consult a five year old girl who loves Disney movies . . .)

Katie and Tyler’s Engagement Session with Colby Elizabeth Photography

I absolutely ADORE Katie and Tyler.  They are gorgeous. They are kind.  They both have really good hair.  Seriously.

I had the unbelievable good luck of meeting this lovely couple when Katie served as a bridesmaid in Brittney and Tim’s Devils’s Thumb Ranch wedding last May.   At the end of the evening she grinned and said that she would be calling me about her upcoming wedding.  Jump ahead a few phone calls – I am actually meeting them tomorrow at Rembrandt Yard for the final walk through for their wedding coming up here in a few weeks.  But these photos from Colby Elizabeth photography are simply bonkers fun — I was already really really excited to put this wedding together.  But after seeing these photos — WOW!! Click here to see the rest of this AMAZING e-session.  Colby – you have skills.  Katie and Tyler – we are about to make your Boulder wedding spectacular!!

 

I am so excited to make January 28, 2012 an absolutely wonderful day for you two.
