Fawn & Chris | September 3rd | Fort Collins, Colorado

From the bride:
Chris and I both agreed that we wanted a very relaxed and fun wedding. We looked at several different venues before realizing we had the perfect outdoor space right in front of us, my parent’s house in Fort Collins. After that was decided, the rest fell into place. We had over 200 guests, but it still felt very intimate, which is exactly what we wanted.

Being a florist in the industry, I’ve seen a lot of weddings, so one challenge we had was how to make our wedding our own. We did a lot of DIY projects and incorporated several of our favorite local things.

We tried to keep our wedding as local and Colorado as possible by using Merry Mountain Cookies for our cookie bar, New Belgium for our beer, Aldrich Jewelry for my earrings and necklace, and of course local vendors for everything else.

One of the biggest DIY projects we did was our favors. We took an old family recipe the Groom had for Cinnamon Polish Whiskey and bottled it in individual bottles for our guests. It was big hit!!

Simplicity in Morrison

Lindsay & Brandon | August 27, 2011 | Morrison, Colorado

From the bride:
We wanted our wedding to be traditional and simple, but elegant at the same time. We both love the mountains so we wanted a mountain setting. We found Willow Ridge Manor and loved it immediately for our ceremony and reception. It was the first place we looked at and booked it! It had the mountain feel, but was also conveniently close to the city, so travel was easy for our family and friends.

I love the color purple so I wanted to incorporate all different shades of the color into every detail of my wedding. My family and I created all my flowers, centerpieces, boutonnieres and corsages. They turned out so beautiful and just how I imagined. Fifteen minutes before our wedding, the wind started blowing and it started to rain. Our wedding was outside so it wasn’t the best situation, but we just went for it. I walked down the aisle with the wind blowing and the rain falling. As soon as the ceremony started I immediately forgot about the weather and just enjoyed the moment. During the ceremony, Brandon was so nervous that after he was done with his portion of the vows he started stating mine. “I Lindsay take you Brandon.” It definitely made me and everyone at the wedding laugh. My advice to other couples is to not let the weather stress you out, because in the end it will all turn out beautiful and great.RECOMMENDED VENDORS

From the bride:
The whole day was amazing! Dade and I had been together for several years and our engagement was 18 months, so it was wonderful to FINALLY be married! It was great having all of our family together to celebrate and it meant a lot having them all involved in the beginning of our new adventure!

Dade and I didn’t see each other until the ceremony, so it was a great feeling to finally see him.We got married in a small chapel on top of a hill overlooking Denver. Gorgeous! All the tables were named after Colorado fourteeners.My dad made all of the table stanchions and escort cards from aspen wood cut on my god parent’s property in Evergreen.The flowers were amazing, the food was delicious, my dress was perfect, the band was great at getting everyone to dance, Dade looked so handsome! It was the best wedding ever!
