Megan and Mike | Devils Thumb Ranch Wedding   no comments

There is so much love that we have for Mike and Megan and their SPECTACULAR Devils Thumb Ranch Wedding that I am just about speechless.  Just about . . .  Enjoy these bonkers pretty photos from Brinton Studios.  Neutral can be absolutely STUNNING at the Ranch.  Take a looksy . . .

Apples?  An absolutely necessary decor item when some has that as a last name.   And what the heck IS an I-25 surprise?  That is when you are stuck on I-25 in Texas in a traffic jam and you meet the love of your life . . .

Emily and Dan | Grand Lake Lodge Wedding   no comments

Emily and Dan’s wedding at the Grand Lake Lodge can be described as follows:  Martha Stewart meets the New West.  Yep, this kind of silliness is exactly why Emily and I (and her fabulous Mom) got along so well and had so much fun designing this yellow, cream and gray wedding.  Yellow, Cream and Gray is definitely a trend that we are not seeing an end of any time soon up here for mountain weddings.  Rather than decide one only – Emily selected tablescapes that alternated birch wrapped containers with a mix and match of milk glass filled with white and yellow flowers.  Add a few pops of blue (delphinium, thistle and iris) and we had a fresh fun look for this July mountain wedding.  Enjoy these lovely photos from our new friend Julie Afferbaugh Photography

A little bit of rain didn’t put a damper on anyone’s mood (but it did allow me to bust out the yellow umbrella :)  As soon as Emily took Dan’s hands during the ceremony the rain stopped and the most beautiful sunlight lit up the Knuptial Knoll at the Lodge.  It was honestly a breathtaking moment . . .

You have to love bagpipes, right?  We got to work with Michael Cunningham quite a few times this season and each and every time – WONDERFUL!!  For Emily’s bouquet I mixed white hydrangea with yellow mini-calla lilies, spray roses and billy balls.  Round and lovely – I do hope Martha would approve

But more than anything, I wish that everyone feels like this on their wedding day.  Emily and Dan – all the love in the world to you two.  Here is to a great ski season :)
