I had so much fun working with Holly and Brian on their August wedding at Devils Thumb Ranch.  For flowers – Holly wanted something fun, colorful and unusual.  I was able to create a handgathered bouquet from mokara orchids, spider mums, dahlias and lisianthus. 

Tiffany and CR of Brinton Studios have once again blown me away with these pictures.  Of course, finding a HUGE field of daisies doesnt hurt. 

We created an aisle of flowers in mason jars and hung them off the shepherd hoooks.  The arrangements were reused as cocktail hour centerpieces.  For reception table – we used the same flowers in the bouquet and anchored them in river rock.  And instead of cake – Happy Cakes!!

Chinese lanterns and lightbulbs – what more do you need?

I loved every moment of this wedding and I adored getting to know this incredible family.  I wish you guys a lifetime of love and happiness and fields of daisies!

Walking into Grand Lake, Colorado is like walking back in time. A time when people smile at each other, strangers say hello, kids can run around on the boardwalk and everyone – locals and tourists alike – are celebrating that the Grand Lake Lodge has reopened!!

Grand Lake weddings hold a special place in my heart and walking into the Grand Lake Lodge yesterday I felt like I was walking back in time.  A time when I was 19 years old, spending the summer in Grand Lake, going to the Lodge with my best friends to see Arnie J Green play on a Wednesday night.   A time when I was convinced that Patrick Swayze was going to walk out of the kitchen and lead the entire staff in a dance number.  Seriously folks, that is what the Grand Lake Lodge feels like!!!

 I am looking forward to creating gorgeous Colorado destination weddings at one of my favorite venues of all time.   The Grand Lake Lodge will start taking reservations for summer  2011 starting September 15.  Call us or send us an email for more information!

Katie and Chad’s wedding at Devils Thumb Ranch was simply fantastic.  Katie and Chad are fantastic, fun and reminded me what a wedding is all about.  And they enjoyed every second of it (from the minute hair and makeup started to jumping into the pool at 11:30 – this couple is about having a darn. . .good . . .time.  Personally, I loved the couple, their families and friends and I got to work with an absolutely top notch team of vendors – CR and Tiffany Brinton of Brinton Studios, Matt Kenfield from Elite DJ, Paula Thomas of Teacup, Christina Trostel from the Parlour and Michael Lancaster on Bagpipes.  Well, now that I have announced the band – here are some of the gorgeous photos!

Remember, if you combine paper airplanes with friends and cocktails, you may get decked.  Miss Katie’s solution, go outside and hulla hoop.  Did I mention these two are the best?

I think they loved this day.  And now for some of the hysterical photobooth shots (complete with some Goverment Mule lyrics . . .) and a late night dip in the pool.

yep, that is how we do things at Pick Me.  Katie and Chad, thank you for being fantastic.  We ARE going to Panic next year together.

Tiffany and Jay’s wedding at Snow Mountain Ranch was a perfect elopement with just enough people (14 – including the bride and groom).  Tiffany called me a few days after Jay popped the question.  She has already decided on Snow Mountain Ranch (since she had worked at the stables a few summers ago) and knew exactly what she was looking for.  We came up with a floral plan, I told her about Stellar Photography and just like that – a little ranch wedding magic. . .

Rachel Terry from Stellar Photography did a fantastic job of capturing the day.  Tiffany and Jay, thank you for trusting us with the details.   We admire any bride who can hop on a horse IN A WEDDING DRESS!!
