It is the first day of spring and we are feeling it here in Winter Park. Rami and I have been working away, planning and designing, gearing up for the summer wedding season. We have managed to squeeze in a few great events, a few days of fun and a few site tours.
We had two incredibly different events at
Devils Thumb Ranch in the last few weeks. First, an absolutely fantastic couple from Louisiana had a Mardi Gras Monday wedding. Using mardi gras colors in golds, green and purples, Rami designed tablescapes that were out of this world. Gold candles lit up the Broad Axe Barn. My favorite part, instead of bouquets, the girls all had masks. Once we get the photos from the delightful
Sean Boggs of Vail, we will be sharing!
While Rami was working on the Mardi Gras event, I got to work with Jen at Devils Thumb and design a birthday weekend that was . . . well . . . I am pretty darn proud of it. There was a 12 piece marumba band for a dinner of 27 people. There were yoga lessons, cross country ski lesssons, fantastic dinners, signature drinks (yes, it' called a Westini and it was the PERFECT shade of royal blue) and a really big wreath. Wes didnt overlook a thing and the entire 3 day event was a blast. The weekend was shot by Rachel Terry of
Stellar Photography and I promise I will share the pictures soon!!
This office has been buzzing with activity all day! We had lunch with Helena Powell of
Adventures in Whitewater. If you are looking for a great half or full day Colorado adventure for your guests, take them to the river!! We also recommend this as a great activity for bachelor and bachelorette partiews. And what I adore about this company (aside from the fact that I laugh the entire time I am with Helena) is that you can make all of the reservations ON LINE! The bride and groom dont even have to do anything other than show up!! Simple, fun and easy, my friends, simple, fun and easy.
Once I sat back down after lunch, John Vela from
Ear to Ear Photobooths showed up to say hi. This is all the rage right now. Have your own photobooth customized for your wedding (the borders of the pictures can be done with your names, wedding colors, monikers, etc) and let the silliness begin. What I love about this company (aside from the fact that John and Jeff are super sweet) is that the booth is made from beetle kill pine AND there is a video screen outside of the booth so the crowd watching can see what's going on! This has been a HUGE hit at the weddings we done together. And your photo album, let's just say I am sure you will look at it again and again. Check out their website and look at the pictures from Kegs and Eggs at Lodo's. FUN!!!
Last week, we had a lovely day doing site tours in
Breckenridge with Cat. Thank you again for a beautiful day of skiing and brainstorming. Ten Mile Station and Sevens were beautiful and we cant wait to come back and see the Maggie. We are looking forward to doing some events with you.
And this morning, I went to
C Lazy U Ranch outside of Granby to scout out a venue for a client for early 2010. The ranch is now open year round, they are opening a spa AND they have cat skiing. Who knew? And the best part? All inclusive dude ranch vacations for your guests for a custom made Colorado wedding. I am so excited to begin designing events there!
I hope you are all enjoying spring as much as we are! The snow is melting fast BUT the good part of that is that the biking and hiking trails will be open soon!!!
