From the bride: Allie:
We got married on a Sunday, so we made our wedding a weekend affair. It was so nice to be able to spend that extra time with our families and out of town guests! We started on Friday with the rehearsal at our venue. On Saturday, we rented out some pavilions at a local park and had a casual pre-wedding barbeque. And then Sunday was our big day!

Our centerpieces were a collection of both tall and short arrangements. The tall arrangement had Granny Smith apples in the vase and an array of vibrant gerbera daisies, dahlias, and circus roses. The smaller, breakaway arrangement consisted of 3 vases; one with a Bridesmaid bouquet, another with a small collection of flowers matching the large arrangement, and the third was a vase filled with Granny Smith apples and Clementine oranges. We used fuchsia bengaline linens with light pink satin napkins for our reception tables, and light pink crush shimmer linen for our sweetheart table with fuchsia satin napkins. Each chair had a fuchsia satin tie on it. Drew and I built our own cupcake stand; it was truly a labor of love! To dress up the cupcakes, I purchased custom cupcake wrappers and toppers with cute love-sayings from Etsy. PERSONAL TOUCHES
-I handmade tickets that were placed on each table setting to let our guests know about the fun photo booth. Having those photos to look back on is awesome- they still make me crack up when I look at them!
-DIY cupcake stand, cupcake wrappers and toppers.
-Granny Smith apple escort cards with paisley leaves.
-DIY card box (made of nesting suitcases).

Step back to the 50′s

We love, love, love this fun wedding! We especially love that this couple was truly having the time of their life. We so wish we would have been invited!

A Hollywood artist specializing in the 50′s style era applied the makeup to the entire bridal party. Since the bride was wearing the old style red lipstick – every time she kissed the groom, it had to be reapplied.

The groomsmen & a groomswoman played pool & cards before the wedding. The groom had one female (the brides best friend) in his party while the bride had one male bridesmaid (the grooms dad) in her entourage.

Many of the guests embraced the couples theme and came dressed in 50′s attire!

In addition to the main cake, each guest table had a different pink & black cake centerpiece.

Their first dance was a highly choreographed swing… so fun & memorable!

The DJ only played tunes from the 50′s. The dancing however, continued all night with an after party held at a local dance club.

Perfectly Pink in Durango

From the bride, Laurel:
As avid hunters and fishermen, we love the outdoors so we knew we wanted an outdoor wedding in the mountains. My dad drove me to the ceremony in his beloved red 1949 Dodge pickup, a truck I admired and loved as well.
We lined the ceremony aisle with vases of pink and green flowers hanging from shepherd hooks. We had purchased 20,000 rose petals and were going to make mounds of petals on each side of the aisle, but we ran out of time and just quickly scattered them in the middle of the aisle.
Favors were small jars of honey from Honeyville accented with black and pink ribbon.
