Sunset Vows at Garden of the Gods
January 13, 2012 | Denver/Front Range | 0 comments

Photography by Paige Eden Photography

From the bride, Kiera:
Our ceremony was held poolside at the Garden of the Gods Club.  With the Rocky Mountains and 14,110 foot high Pikes Peak in the background, we said ‘I do’ as the sun set over the vibrant red rocks of the Garden of the Gods.

PERSONAL TOUCHES
-I had a friend create a personalized map of Colorado Springs with little pictures/details of where all the events for the weekend were held as well as how to get there. They were put in all the welcome bags that guests received when they arrived at the resort.

-My something “old” was a Cartier diamond bracelet from the 40’s passed down through my family.

-Our favors were caramel apples from the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory with dark chocolate “Z”s on them for our last name.

-We had a live band { Manea Porinesia } playing Hawaiian music.

Romance at Keystone Ranch
September 29, 2011 | Central Mountains | 0 comments

Photography by Julie Harris Photography

From the bride, Corrine:
Our Colorado destination wedding was a three-day event.  We hosted a casual bluegrass welcome reception the night before, which ran into the wee hours of the night.  Then a brunch for everyone the morning of the wedding, followed by the main event that evening at Keystone Ranch. We were hoping for  a warm and sunny October day, but instead, it snowed during the ceremony, which was fine with us since we had originally wanted a winter wedding! We created an intimate and romantic atmosphere with lots of candles. After dinner was served in the rustic mountain dining room, we stepped into an elaborate tent that was transformed into a chic night club with an amazing band, a huge dance floor and lots of lounge areas.

Pulled from one of our favorite weddings in the Spring E-Mag, this inspiration board is filled with carnival fun.  The snack choice of cotton candy, popcorn and red & blue punch, add to the color palette and overall decor, while the classic carnival colors of red and white are weaved into every detail of the day.   View this entire wedding HERE!
