Snow Mountain Ranch Wedding

A few picture of the flowers we did for Katie's Friday, July 24, 2009 wedding in the Leggitt Building at Snow Mountain Ranch.

Snow Mountain Ranch Wedding

Sarah and Lawrence were married at Columbine Point at Snow Mountain Ranch on Saturday. This wedding was early and fun! A 10:30 ceremony at Columbine Point was topped off by a horse and buggy ride around the pond for the bride and groom while the guests went to the Just Ranch Homestead Site for the reception. Sherri Kent of ShowBoat Catering pulled off an fantastic lunch for everyone. The tent was decorated with simple chocolate brown tablecloths and bright pink chair bows. Each table had 4 different sized mason jars filled with bright pink, white and lime green flowers - a favorite look for a tent!

Sarah and Lawrence, please enjoy you 17 days in Maui!

Devils Thumb Ranch, Pink and Orange

Kristen and Spencer were married at Devils Thumb Ranch On July 18, 2009. I had so much fun with this wedding from day one! Kristen's Mom Bet hired us for flowers site unseen last fall. From the first phone call, I knew I had a new friend for life. We built the wedding decor around "big happy fun flowers." That was the direction I was given from Kristen. After deciding on an apple green, pink and orange color palatte, Kristen picked lilies, roses and gerber daisies. This is one of Pick Me's favorite looks to create. We draped the tables with apple green organza overlays and created a large kings table in the middle of the Broad Axe Barn to break up the usual seating in the space. Spencer's Mom Trish hired us to do the rehearsal dinner flowers so we were able to create smaller versions of the ceremony arrangements in 4" galvanized tins and reuse them the next day as extra decor.

After meeting and deciding on flowers, Bet and Kristen hired us for day-of coordination. So we were fortunate enough to work with local blugrass band Hunker Down, Paula from Tea-Cup Bakery and CR and Tiffany from Brinton Studios. Paula created individual table cakes that were served to each table right before toasts. Trust me, nothing brings a table together like cutting into a beautiful cake and serving each other HUGE slices of cake.

Wine corks were used as place card holders and as the couple left the reception, they rode off into the night on a wagon - complete with Cabin Creek Stable horses - as there guests played bright orange kazoos. Yep, there was a kazoo send off. These are my kind of people!

Devils Thumb Ranch Wedding, BBQ Tent

Christine and Dave were married July 17 at Devils Thumb Ranch in Tabernash, CO. This wedding was so . . ., much . . . fun! A few highlights to share with you. First of all Dave and Christine are extremely kind people. And they listen to each other. I mean, really listen. And I love the midwest. His family came in from Iowa and hers from Chicago - and quite a party ensued.

From a design standpoint, we built the wedding around tiny white and orange flowers and played off of Christine's love of orchids. Single phalaonopsis orchids wrapped in muslin accented with orange ribbon were placed on the middle of each picnic table. Christine made orange runners out of a anthropologie inspired fabric that ran the length of each table. In the white tent, against the woodchips, everything popped. For the ceremony we mixed curly willow with tiny white flowers and wrapped the vases in birch bark. And the bouquets were orange mokara orchids (a personal favorite).

After the ceremony the groomsmen (again so nice!) were all given big old belt buckles and straw cowboy hats for pictures. I swear, their walks even changed with these costumes.

The super yummy cupcakes were created from Happy Cakes. Carrot, S'mores and the Strawberry Lemonade cupcakes were a huge hit with the guests (and me!). And once again, Matt from Elite DJ outdid himself. Before it was even dark, I saw the bride's brother-in-law grab a straw cowboy hat and do the BEST Michael Jackson impersonation I have ever seen in my life only to be outdone by the guy who started to do the worm . . .on woodchips.

I wish these two would get married every weekend.
