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.
