Red, Orange and White – dahlias, peonies, roses and ginger.  Vintage Ski posters and lanterns.  Devils Thumb Ranch the week before Christmas.  From a design point of view, I was pretty happy.  Then came the radio flyer red wagon and I realized that this was going to be one of my favorite weddings in quite a while.

A huge thank you to Sarah Hays for sharing these lovely photos, the entire team at Devils Thumb Ranch, Maura from the Paper Guppy for all of the print work (I am obsessed with the vintage ski sign table numbers) Paula from Teacup Bakery, Ian from Elite DJ and most of all, to the fantastic Amy and Ryan for trusting me to create a fantastic design and coordinate a lovely day.  I wish you both of a lifetime of love and happy . . .now can we all go skiing?

I think it is pretty obvious that I love my job – I love where I get to work and live and I love the people that I am fortunate enough to work with.  Karina and Marcus were no exception.  I think Karina and I talked just as much about Sayulita, Mexico as we did about her wedding.  I am lucky that I keep finding like souls to work with.  Now with no further ado – some of Casey Wigatow’s (of Two One Photography) gorgeous pictures of this beautiful July wedding at Devils Thumb Ranch.

This was the 3rd wedding this season where I was given a color palatte of orange, green and purple and told to “make something ususual and fun”.  Kermit mums, veronica, mokara orchids and orange voodoo roses and I was in love!  Thank you for trusting us to design your day.  And here is to the annual surf trip to Sayulita!

I loved working with this couple.  A bright and fun color palatte of chartruse, orange and chocolate brown, a gorgeous couple. chinese lanterns and        . . . did I mention the John Deere gaters?  Yep, any bride who rolls up to her wedding on a John Deere (with her Dad) is top notch in our book.  Enjoy some of these lovely photos from Steve Stanton Photography.

Kristen and Chris, thank you for picking us to design this stunning day for you two.  We wish you a lifetime of love and happy . . .

10-10-10.  A wonderful date for a beautiful couple (with the most adorable dog I have ever met).  Matt and Etta’s wedding was complete fall perfection. 

Etta and Matt, thank you for trusting us with the details of the day.  You were both absolutely glowing.  And a huge thank you to the A+ team of vendors who we worked with to pull off this fabulous day.  Venue – Devils Thumb Ranch, Photography – Brinton Studios, Flowers and Coordination – Pick Me!, Cupcake – Teacup Bakery, DJ – Elite DJ, Hair and Makeup – Christina Trostel (The Parlour Denver Highlands) and Dress – Anna-Be.

A few beautiful images from Cara and Jared’s wedding shot by Steve Z Photography (stunning) at the lovely Wildhorse Inn in Tabernash, Colorado.  Gorgeous and kind bride and groom – vintage truck (even better – it has been in all the family wedding pictures since the 60′s!) – great photographer – beautiful venue – great parents.  Seriously, I love my job.

Anyone who knows me understands that Grand Lake, Colorado holds a special place in my heart.  So when Sarah called me to discuss designing  wedding flowers for her August wedding at the Western Riveria in Grand Lake, I absolutely jumped at the opportunity.  For Sarah and Matt, we combined late summer soft and fluffy feeling flowers (dahlias, roses, lisianthus and sweet peas) in shades of ivory/cream, pale orange and lavender.  The end result was a traditional garden feeling wedding in a modern (but soft) color combination – one that I am absolutely in love with.

A huge thank you to Sarah and Matt, Rachel Terry of Stellar Photography and the entire crew at the Western Riveria.  We were honored to be a part of this wedding and we cant wait to see you all again. 

Stay tuned in the next few weeks for another wedding (Tina and Zac) with Stellar Photography and the Western Riv as well as a fly fishing wedding photoshoot with Stellar Photography and Vagabond Ranch.

A HUGE thank you to the entire team that put the entire retro Winter Park, Colorado wedding together!

I love my job.  I get to work with great couples on one of the biggest days of their lives (so far!).  I get to meet amazing friends and families and I have the opportunity to bring someone’s vision to life every week.  But sometimes . . .you just want to do something a tad sassier than normal.  This leads to THE PHOTOSHOOT.  For this shoot, we were so lucky to work with Keri Doolittle and Winter Park Resort to bring you a wedding design that was retro inspired – Colorado Ski Area style!

A few pictures of Amy and Ben’s fantastic purple and orange Colorado wedding .  Rami designed a gorgeous and vibrant color palatte to stand out against the stunning green trees, lush grass and beautiful lake in Georgetown.  Thank you to Tiffany and CR Brinton for sharing the lovely pictures of the big day!

Just a few pictures of Kara and Greg’s June wedding at Snow Mountain Ranch.  Bright and vibrant orange, coral and pink colored lilies and roses were set off again green hydrangeas in birch wrapped containers.  Defintely one of our favorite styles for this summer!
