Tara and Curtis - Colorado Mountain Wedding

I will admit it. I love Facebook. I love "seeing" old friends and catching up with people out of the blue. So when I received some of these pictures posted on my page from a wedding we did 3 years ago, it made my day. Here is what the email said . . .

"Thanks Kara! I checked out your Web site and I am THRILLED that your business seems to be doing so well! I so loved my wedding flowers, and I love your more recent work too! If you ever need a reference, feel free to use my name. Hope you guys are well up there and still lovin the mountain life - we're jealous! Tara"

Tara and Curtis took a chance on us when we were just hitting our stride and finding our design style. We were so lucky to work with Jenna Walker Photography and Angie from Sapphire Celebrations on this gorgeous day. Thanks for taking a chance on us and we can not wait to help you with one fantastic anniversary party!

Peonies

Just a quick picture of Lerin's peony bouquet. Peonies, a great reason to be married at the end of May!! I had a wonderful time working with Paige and CC from Colorado Wedding Company (wedding planning) Jenna and Matt Walker from Jenna Walker Photography and Devils Thumb Ranch and one of the kindest and most considerate brides of last season. Happy (almost) anniversary to you!

Rachel and Jaime - Grand Lake Wedding

I recently came across these images from Jaime and Rachel's wedding last June at the AA Barn in Grand Lake. What I loved about this wedding (besides being able to create something for friends) was the simplicity. Rachel and Jaime wanted bright and happy and simple (I can actually make Rachel cringe by saying the word PINK outloud anywhere around her) For her bouquet - daisies. For the tables - snapdragons. Happy (almost) one year anniversary to you both!

Leah and Rich - Devils Thumb Ranch Wedding

Leah and Rich's wedding last weekend at Devils Thumb Ranch was gorgeous, simple and fun. And Leah was getting married outside - come hell or high water - the ceremony was happening OUTSIDE. Luckily for us, the universe agreed, the rain and snow were kept at bay (possibly by sheer force of will on Leah's part) and the sun even appeared for the 15 minute ceremony. One of my favorite parts of the decor (all bamboo and orchids) - Leah's bouquet. She gave me free reign to run with it and create something unique.



Yep, it's a Ranch. A gorgeous Ranch. With running horses. And wild clouds. And WHAT IS THAT? Yes, a friendly (??) neighborhood fox strolled up to the ceremony site and decided to watch the wedding. It's a ranch . . .








And the goldfish on the bar? Started as a joke - but why not? They worked with the color palatte. As always, CR and Tiffany of Brinton Studios did another beautiful job (and I am just glad that Tiffany was not killed by the bull that stalked her after she hopped in the paddock to get the horses running...seriously) Thanks again to Leah and Rich and your fantastic families for making this wedding so much fun. Mrs Bluestein, is the offer to come to Passover still good??

Ear 2 Ear Photobooth and Pick Me!

Okay . . .Leah and Rich's wedding last weekend at Devil's Thumb Ranch was absolutely hysterical. This couple decided that their rehearsal dinner theme was "Ugly Sweaters" (By the way, no one told me this prior, so you can imagine how confused/frightened I was by the ensembles showing up at rehearsal. When Rich showed up with a sequined sweater - with the arms 4" too short - WITH FEATHERS ON IT - I decided it was time to ask some questions. . .)

Needless to say - a couple this fun has friends and family this fun. Ear2Ear Photobooths were hired to complete the festivities. Trust me - when the gondola photobooth turned on - EVERYONE got in to take some great pictures. As usual, John and Jeff (with assistance from the lovely Kim) made sure a good time was had by all.

Stay tuned for the rest of the Leah and Rich story. I can not wait to see CR and Tiffany Brinton's photos of the big day!

Tessa and Michael's Devils Thumb Ranch Wedding

Tessa and Michael's wedding last Saturday at Devils Thumb Ranch was the perfect way to launch our summer wedding season. This couple (who I actually met face to face 3 days prior to the big day) found all of us (Pick Me, Brinton Studios, Devils Thumb and Teacup) online, took a leap of faith and booked - site unseen! Although this Texas couple was a tad suprised by the amount of snow on May 1 (who are we kidding - we all were) they took it all in stride and had fun with it. Tessa and Michael were fearless - taking pictures at the stables (I adore the one on the wagon) and hiking out across the snowy field to the fence.

Tessa and Michael, thank you for finding us and trusting us for your floral design and coordination. My only regret was that I wasnt able to join your guests for a sassy game of flip cup after the reception. I can only imagine how much fun it was (your families are the best!)

I wish you both a lifetime of love and happiness.

Love this Day

We love our brides

Rami and I are so fortunate to have the best clients in the world. Smart, sassy girls who take care of business and want to love this day. So when Rami got this email from our friend Tina (who we are fortunate to work with nearly every weekend at Devils Thumb Ranch!! She is one of their fantastic staff members) we nearly died laughing . . .

The email read like this -

"I am in the hospital right now getting ready to go in for a c section. She will be here tonight. On a side note what address would like me to send the check to?"

Tina, we think the world of you and cant wait to meet little Miss Anna. And we cant wait to help you LOVE THIS DAY on August 28 at the Western Riveria. We are going to make your wedding absolutely spectacular. Now seriously, stop writing checks and have a baby already!!
