David and Kelly's Brown Palace Wedding

David and Kelly are fun. Really fun. And they enjoy every second of life. I was fortunate enough to plan and coordinate their wedding this past August at David's parents house with the reception at the Brown Palace. From our first meeting, the ideas raced for all 3 of us. We built the decor theme around rich jewel tones with peacock feather accents. The rich royal blue dresses for the bridesmaids were set off with fuschia and deep purple accents. Individual peacock feather accented the girls hair. Deep pink petals lined the aisle as the nicest wedding party ever lined up to watch this beautiful couple exchange their vows.

The wedding party were taken to and from the Brown Palace in classic Rolls Royce cars. A huge peacock ice sculpture (with green and blue LED lights!) greeted guests upon arrival at the Brown Palace. While Denver Photobooth entertained everyone during cocktail hour. Once the doors of the ballroom were opened, revealing alternating tall and low floral arrangements on top of gold linens accented with royal blue touches. Peter Yellen and his incredible band played while the guests enjoyed dinner and David's father gave the best welcome speech of the season.

I could not have been more pleased with August 22. David and Kelly, I have no doubt that there are BIG things in your future and I cant wait to hear about them all!

Many thanks to the incredible Katie Thurmes of Jenna Walker Photography for sharing these beautiful 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!

Malissa and Paul - Wildhorse Inn Wedding

Today as I was surfing the web looking for inspiration for an upcoming wedding, I came across these beautiful images of Paul and Malissa's wedding last September at the Wildhorse Inn. This couple was so fantastic to work with. From the first meeting in our office to my delivery of the bouquets, Paul and Malissa were fantastic. Many thanks to Michelle at MMB Photography for sharing these images with us!

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!
