Kristen and Spencer - Devils Thumb Ranch Wedding

Kristen and Spencer's July Wedding at Devils Thumb Ranch was the perfect day of the summer. Case in point - the first picture here from Brinton Studios. Would you look at the color of the sky? It's absolutely perfect.

Initially hired to create this fantastic couples flowers - we incorporated big, bright and happy lilies, gerber daises, roses that opened to perfection in the sunshine with snapdragons. This casual handgathered look is one of my favorites to create for an outdoor Colorado wedding. And we were able to use one of my absolute favorite color palattes ever - pink, orange and green. As the planning process moved forward, Kristen and Bet (her Mom) hired us on for day-of coordination as well. One of the best things about CR and Tiffany of Brinton Studios? Even with as many weddings as they have shot at the Ranch, they make it look new and different each time. And in mid - July the wildflowers were absolutely stunning last year!

For tables - we alternated between tall arrangements over everyone's line of site - with lower "sqattier" (is that a word??) version of the same. Rather than a tradition wedding cake, Paula from Teacup made individual cakes which we served on beetlekill stumps to each table. You have never seen wedding guests that happy!!

One of the nicest bridal parties ever. At rehearsal, even when the flower girls walked right past the ceremony site to a field of dandelions during rehearsal and started filling their baskets (Iguess the kids took their jobs as flower girls VERY seriously) no one lost their cool.

Beautiful. Thank you for trusting us with your wedding. Kristen and Spencer (and both of their Mom's) were an absolute joy to work with. I cant wait to go skiing with you two soon!

Jessica and Dave - Devils Thumb Ranch

I'd like to share a few of the images from one of my favorite weddings this season. Jessica and Dave were married on August 15 at Devils Thumb Ranch and the day was stunning. I had the honor of doing the day-of coordination as well as creating the wedding flowers for Jessica and Dave. What a phenominal family! Too see the rest of the story, please check out the wildly talented photographer Ben Pancoast's blog. I love how he captured the sky in these pictures.

Amy and JR - Devils Thumb Ranch Wedding Sneak Peak

Just a sneak peak on some of the flowers from Amy and JR's November 7th wedding at Devils Thumb Ranch. This winter wedding occured on the BEST day of the fall this year and the sky couldn't have been a better shade of blue. We look forward to sharing the rest of the pictures with you when we receive them!

Chellie and John - Devils Thumb Ranch - September 2009

Chellie and John are the nicest people on the planet. The happy couple called our studio about 4 minutes after they had signed their contract with Devils Thumb Ranch and asked if they could come over and meet. From the minute they walked in the door, I knew I had a new friend for life.

Chellie researched every detail, was open to suggestions and enjoyed every moment of her planning process. The end result was a fantastic team of vendors I was proud to work with and a perfectly executed wedding where every detail was planned and prepared for. Chellie was kind to everyone and respectful of everyone's time. Thank you again for trusting us with the decor and the execution of your big day. We wish you two a lifetime of love and happiness!

Alison and Erik - Devils Thumb Ranch

Alison and Erik were married on a beautiful fall day in September. This couple is as quirky as Kara and I, so we loved working with them. My favorite part was watching Rachelle (the grooms mom) and Erik rock out for their mother-son dance.

Happy Cakes provided the BEST CUPCAKES ever. The couple chose to have a variety of flavors to assure that each guest could pick their favorite....or two.

As always thanks to the incredible team of CR and Tiffany Brinton for sharing these pictures with us!

Jen and Doug - Devils Thumb Ranch

What do you get when you mix 2 parts love, 6 parts favorite vendors and 1 part beautiful venue? Jen and Doug's incredible wedding at Devils Thumb Ranch.

An hour before the ceremony, I walked into Jen's Lodge Room and asked her to make a call on weather. As the lightning blasted into the meadow, Jen simply smiled and said "well that answers that!" The staff at the Ranch had the Broad Axe Barn reset in a matter of minutes (so impressive!) and we moved the ceremony indoors. Although a light sprinkle fell, by the time the ceremony was over, the clouds cleared and were able to have cocktail hour on the deck.

For the decor, we built everything off of reclaimed wood (the boxes were made from the floorboards in my first house!) purple and green flowers and a great western font. Personalized wooden nickles were everywhere and the custom coasters were a hit! Did I mention that I think Jen bought every candle in the state of California and the room absolutely glowed.

We had the good fortune of working with Paula @ Teacup, Bella Vita Salon, Tiffany and CR of Brinton Studios, Matt from Elite DJ, Charity from Wedding and Event Sitters and both of us (Kara and Rami)from Pick Me! were on site for this one!

And last week we received the kindest thank you note from Jen and Doug. It made us both laugh out loud. Thank you again for trusting the details of the day with us. We can't wait to hear about Alaska!

Pick Me is so excited to see that our first wedding of the season at Devils Thumb Ranch is the wedding featured on the Ranch's website! Mark and Annie could not have been a more wonderful couple (maybe I am a little biased, but I LOVE just about everyone from Chicago!!!) and the pictures from CR and Tiffany Brinton of Brinton Studios not only captured the fun and the love that these two share but also the beauty of the Ranch!

Some of our favorite picts of the day and check out the website!

Julie and Andre - Devils Thumb Ranch

Julie and Andre were married Monday, August 10, 2009 at Devils Thumb Ranch. I was fortunate to be chosen to create their wedding flowers and do their day-of coordination. This wedding was so intimate, so kind and such a reflection of the love that these two share, I am not even posting any of my pictures on here. Here are the sneak peak pictures from the amazing Jenna Walker. I will share the rest of the story with the rest of the photos.

Jessica and Dave - Devils Thumb Ranch

Jessica and Dave were married on August 15, 2009 at Devils Thumb Ranch and I had the honor of creating both the flowers and working as the day-of coordinator for this fantastic couple. Building off a color palatte of pinks and chocolate brown, we made overflowing table arrangments that popped pink on the brown tablecloths. We were able to build everything off of Jessica's favorite flowers - dahlias and nerine lilies, which we accented with a few stems of buplerium and filled in with vendela roses and pink asiatic lilies for the bouquets, ceremony arrangements and the table centerpieces. And the dancing from not only the bride and groom, not only the bride and her father but from EVERY SINGLE guest was out of this world. And if you arent a fan of wedding cake, have a brownie bar! Here's to a great night had by all!
