Maggie and Nick Devils Thumb Ranch Wedding

Maggie and Nick's Devils Thumb Ranch wedding was an absolute joy to work on. Rami worked with Maggie to create an all white floral palatte - Maggie collected vintage glassware (collected here means borrowing, begging, thrift stores, friends houses, etc!!). Each table was built off a mono-blossom theme with one color (but sassy various styles) glass.

And the anemones in March - WOW! Stunning . . .



We wired and hung orchids mixed with crystals from candelabras. When the barn doors opened as Maggie walked up to Nick - absolutely gorgeous! It really is one of my favorite parts of any wedding. The anticipation on the grooms face turning into sheer love and joy. Nothing beats it!


Paula's (from Teacup) yummy cake was one of the hits of the evening. Look out when Maggie has the knife!

Both Maggie and Nick have been missionaries, so this particular wedding was not full of drinkers. Devils Thumb created a coffee bar that warmed everyone up.







I think they "loved this day!"


CR and Tiffany Brinton (of Brinton Studios) have once again made DTR look new and amazing. Maggie and Nick, thank you for trusting us with the details of your special day. You two are truly as on the beautiful inside as you are on the out (and you kind of look like 1940's movie musical stars). We can not wait to see you next time you are visiting. XOXO

Christine and Dave Devils Thumb Ranch Wedding

I just got these gorgeous photos of Dave and Christine's BBQ wedding at Devils Thumb Ranch. The fantastic couple was beautiful inside and out - and the day was captured perfectly by Steve Z Photography. (Another incredible Colorado photographer who makes me reconsider EVER bringing my own camera . . .my pictures dont even come close to this!!!) Congrats to a couple who had this much fun (and included their adorable dog - gave out cowboy hats and belt buckles - and whose friends and families were as kind as the couple) Happy (almost) anniversary to you both. Thank you for trusting Pick Me with the details of your big day. We wish you a lifetime of love and happy . . .

Custom Made Monikers for your wedding

Pick Me Floral and Event Design has joined forces with a wildly talented graphic artist to create custom monikers and designs. Best part of it? The artist will design a personal brand for your wedding and then YOU get the rights to the image.


The personalization of a wedding can be as simple as a gorgeous personal touch that can be reused again and again thoughout the design process. The signpost sketch above will be used on the stickers/stamps for the invites as well as the menus and programs. The custom monogram will be used to create a custom brand for details at the ceremony.

Check back in September to see the finished project!

Winter Park Colorado Weddings - Wildhorse and Pick Me!

Pick Me Floral and Event Design and Wildhorse have a great history with sucessful Winter Park weddings. In celebration of this coming summer, I wanted to highlight some of our combined success stories as well as tell you the history . . .


Once upon a time, a girl name Rami and a girl named Chris (already friends) started brainstorming about weddings in Winter Park, Colorado (and the surrounding areas) and raising the bar. A few weeks (and bottles of wine) later, Wildhorse Inn started marketing gorgeous, intimate Colorado Mountain weddings in the backyard of this delicous B & B in Tabernash, Colorado. Chris did the marketing, planning and cooking and Rami ran the front of house for the events. Rami brought Kara (me!) into the mix (once a waitress . . .) and a sucessful summer of gorgeous Colorado destination weddings happened.

Jump ahead a season or so, Kara and Rami decided to start an event specific floral company and Chris said OK! She gave us her blessing (after a few trial runs) and started refering us. From a professional stand, we all hold each other to a higher level of customer service. From a personal stand, we are all friends with a vested interest in raising the bar for events in and around Winter Park. . . after all, their are Mexican vacations to be had!

Rami and I have been so happy to watch Wildhorse Inn grow into Wildhorse Catering and take this mountain community by storm. We are thrilled for every opportunity to work as team with these talented coordinators, event planners, servers and chefs (Dace, we love you). Here is to a successful 2010 with great stories, happy brides and grooms, yummy food and gorgeous decor and flowers.
