Lulu and Graham - Devils Thumb Ranch

Lulu and Graham, were married at Devils Thumb Ranch on September 19. This was the first "second chance" we have received. Let me explain . . .we coordinated Lulu's sisters Sarah's wedding three years ago. We love the Bael Family and felt very privileged to have the chance to work with them again.

Lulu and Graham couple live for the outdoors. Graham is a sports writer and Lulu works for REI in their corporate offices. The parents of the groom surprised the couple with a beautiful, handcrafted wooden sea kayak for them to take back to Seattle for many years of fun on the sound.

I love the "American Gothic" look that Paige Elizabeth Photography created. The couple sent out save the date card with a photo of the two of them jumping with balloons that read "We're Jumping In", then had a balloon bouquet for their guest to get their photos taken while jumping as well.

I guess now we will have to wait for little Cody to get married to be able to do another wedding for the Bael family. Cody is the little guy in the tux. We will be ready for ya!

Devils Thumb Ranch, Sunflowers

This weekend we had the honor of coordinating Libby and John's wedding at Devils Thumb Ranch. I'd like to share a few of the details that will stick with us for a long time to come.

Libby and John's wedding was about 2 families coming together. Every single aspect of the wedding weekend was about their kids (some little and some grown) and the love John and Libby have for them. Bands played, kids danced, wagon rides were had and in honor of Michael Jackson, I believe the cocktail hour on the deck was a "thriller." Thanks to Matt from Elite DJ, the crowd boogied down!

Libby chose to break from tradition in a beautiful white floral dress. It was simple stunning. We also had the joy of working with Miss Amy Keating of the Flower House on the decor. She handled all of the floral side while we worked the linen aspect. We were able to combine forces and reuse the sunflower buckets from Friday's rehearsal dinner as extra decor for the ceremony (echoing her incredible sunflower garland) while Amy kept the tone of the BroadAxe Barn more formal with tall arrangements made from roses, hydrangeas and oriental lilies.

All in all, a great weekend was had . . .by all!

Earlier this month I waxed poetic about Peggy and Nick and what a delight they were. I just had the joy of watching a short slideshow of their wedding from Estes Photography. What I love so much about these photographers is that not only did they capture the beauty of June 12, they captured the love that Peggy and Nick share. Take a second and check it out . . .

Devils Thumb Ranch, Rehearsal Dinner

Libby and John know how to throw a party. This weekend at Devils Thumb Ranch, Rami and I had the honor of coordinating the wedding and creating the decor for the rehearsal dinner at Heck's Tavern. Bright yellow sunflowers accented with red hypericum berries filled galvanized tin pots. Red checked napkins were rolled and placed at each table setting. Bright red laterns held tea lights on each table. Twinkle lights lit up the umbrellas on the deck. And the topper of it all was a huge candy bar with personalized bags that read simply . . .love is sweet.

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!

Turquoise Red and Pink!!

Yesterday, we got to do a great wedding at Devils Thumb. First of all, Emily and Keith are two of the sweetest people we have ever met AND they drove through the blizzard of the season to get to Colorado for their wedding.

1950's-Cowboy-Kitsch-with-a-hipster-edge could have been a theme for this one. Everything was turquoise, red and pink. The table numbers were hand made by the groom, cardboard chargers under each place setting, menus rolled with twine and Emily's grandmothers typewriter was used instead of a guest book so everyone could type letters to this couple. Best part, half of us couldnt remember how to use a typewriter!!!

Personal favorite part of this one - the groom and groomsmen all had corresponding colored vans on. Thank you both for having FUN and enjoying your day.
