Pick Me! Floral and Events at DTR Memorial Day Weekend

Pick Me Floral and Events was lucky enough to be booked to do 3 events at Devils Thumb Ranch this weekend. The two weddings (and one fantastic rehearsal dinner) couldnt have been further apart in terms of design but a common thread ran through both weddings. These brides were unbelievably kind, refined and they carried themselves with timeless grace throughout the planning process and the day. Both Maggie and L'Erin were dreams to work with.

Starting with Friday, for L'Erin and Adam we created a beautiful ivory and navy theme. Sheer navy overlays were placed on the tables and we created all white floral arrangements in low round vases with flowers spilling over the sides. Luckily for me, Jenna Walker was the photographer for this wedding so check back in a few weeks and you will see the incredible photos. L'Erin and Adam worked with CC and Paige of www.coloradoweddingco.com and they pulled off a perfect intimate wedding. It's now Sunday afternoon as I write this post and L'Erin and Adam just stopped by to return some glassware. They even cleaned it. It's the little things . . .


Friday night, Pick Me created a bright orange and red cowboy theme for the BBQ tent. Large galvanized tins filled with bright orange and red gerber daises, roses and carnations were accented with bright red bandanas.

Saturday, Pick Me created an orange and silver wedding for Maggie and Marc. Again we used the galvanized tins filled with bright and happy orange lilies, gerbers and roses. Randy Waters was our fantastic DJ for the evening, Brad Baldwin was our photographer and Paula of Teacup created a beautiful and super yummy (well, I HAD to try it!) cake. Kudos to Marc, Maggie and their phenominal attendants and friends. Everyone was wonderful! I cant wait to see the Brad's photos!

Orchids at Devil's Thumb Ranch

Mark and Annie are quite possibly the most adorable couple ever. She is all sass and fantastic. He has a heart of gold. We started working on their wedding last August, and I have to say, it has been time well spent. Every email exchanged made me laugh. Trust me, that doesnt always happen.

Here are a few of my pictures from yesterday. Luckily for all of us, CR and Tiffany of Brinton Studios were the photographers of the day. Check back in a few weeks for the REAL pictures of this one!

The inspiration for the flowers like this. Annie said "I want coxcomb, it was the first flower that Mark ever bought me and I love orchids." She then proceeded to hand me a picture of the Colorado sky in peak alpenglow and said "go for it."

One more note, Annie's dress was fierce. She looked like a frosted sassy cupcake and everyone at the event LOVED it. Here's to NOT following the pack and breaking out on your own!

Todd Newcomer Photography - Pick Me - Devils Thumb

Jon and Marie had a perfect winter wedding in the Broad Axe Barn at Devils Thumb. I have never met a couple who was so completely kind with each other. Let that be a lesson to us all when planning weddings . . . remember to be kind. A simple thing that means so much.

Many many thanks to Todd Newcomer for these images. What a delightful photographer to work with! And yes, these are the candelabras at DTR!!!!!

Winter Park Weddings - Springtime = Go Time!

Well it's just another day in paradise. The sun is trying to shine and Rami and I are rocking along in the studio today - Kicking A and Taking Names. First off, Crystal from Colorado Party Rentals just gave us some FANTASTIC new decor for the mock tables. Rami has completely redecorated the studio and frankly, it looks pretty darn great. With the new decor, we are feeling revitalized and ready to tackle the season.

For Pick Me Events, we start with Annie and Mark's wedding at Devils Thumb Ranch next weekend. We are fortunate enough to be doing flowers and day-of coordination for this sasstastic couple. From the first meeting we hit it off and things have been clicking along. What can I say? I love sassy folks from Chicago.

Speaking of sassy folks from Chicago, I returned this morning from Miami (a GREAT weekend with my best girlfriends from the Windy City). Fantastic hotel - Eden Roc, Fantastic Dinners - Barton G's, Escopazzo and (of course) Joe's Crab Shack. We saw some famous people (but who am I to drop names??) and they were even more adorable in person AND we all had drinks at the Delano. WOW. I couldnt have loved this place more . . .

Rami had a slightly more tame holiday, traveling to Cave Creek, Arizona with her husand to visit old friends. Hiking, hanging out by the pool and catching up were the order of the day.

So I am off to book a party bus for a wedding at the Brown Palace. This wedding is going to be beautiful!!!
