Congratulations, Laura & Noah!! Just a peek from L&N’s recent wedding at the downtown Denver Westin. ♥

I have been looking forward to Alice & Jeff’s wedding for what seems like forever. These two wowed me back in winter, when we took to the ice on Evergreen Lake for their ice skating engagement session. But even before that, way back to our very first conversation, I knew that I wanted to work with them. Their ceremony on the Vail wedding deck was absolutely breathtaking. Surrounded by the mountains that they love, they exchanged wedding vows in an emotional ceremony beautifully officiated by Alice’s aunt. The rain clouds taunted us, but managed to hold off long enough to complete the ceremony and get the entire congregation of guests on the deck for a big group photo before the deluge of drops began to fall. Perfect timing. Perfect. Everyone returned by gondola to the reception at the Larkspur Restaurant, with its dreamy decor and draping by Pink Monkey Solutions. Joann and Mindy with Mountains and Meadows coordinated the entire event to perfection, managing every last detail with calm and ease – and I am still in awe of her weather predicting skillz :) A few faves..
gorgeous color and texture with the floral from Vintage Magnolia (garden roses and ranunculus in the bridal bouquet – swoon)

stunning reception decor by Pink Monkey at the Larkspur Restaurant. The uplighting and draping transformed the Great Room into a gorgeous romantic backdrop – I just love the globes suspended from the chandelier, as well as the fireplace mantle alight with candles.
magical first dance 
I just adore the look on Alice’s face during the father daughter dance
and the sweet expression of Jeff’s mom during the mother son dance


Congratulations, Alice & Jeff – my warmest wishes to you both!
Kudos to the incredible team of vendors who contributed their talents:

So thrilled to see Robin & Justin’s gorgeous downtown Denver wedding at the DCPA Seawell Ballroom featured in print in the latest Colorado Brides magazine!
I absolutely loved working with Robin & Justin – and they had such an incredible team of vendors. Kudos to Julie Gambrell of Classic Creations for flawlessly orchestrating the entire event, the team at the DCPA Seawell Ballroom as well as Epicurean Catering, Amy at the Flower House (still in awe of her feather centerpieces!), linens by Chair Covers and Linens, and cake by Das Meyer.

Atop a spectacular Colorado mountain peak, surrounded by their immediate families, Liz & Craig exchanged their wedding vows. It was a day that began with thunder and lightning and ominous clouds, but transformed into a beautiful sparkling summer’s day with the skies clearing just in time for the couple to ascend to the top of Beaver Creek’s Centennial lift. The ceremony, performed by the father of the groom, was intimate and emotional and heartfelt – not a dry eye in the house (mine included!) – and was followed by a lovely reception at Allie’s Cabin. It was such a joy and an honor to be a part of this day. A few favorites..
