Name: Debbie Orwat

Favorite Wedding Detail:  The table. Designing the table elements from linens to chargers to centerpieces…I dream about these things. You can tie together every component …flowers, linen colors, chair style, menu cards, seating cards, favors. The options are endless.

Favorite Moment at Weddings: Five minutes before the bride walks down the aisle. I am privileged to see these moments between the bride and her father. It is such a turning point in both of their lives. I am always touched by their emotion and excitement. It also reminds me of my wedding day and spending those last minutes of single life with my dad.

Favorite Colorado Venues:   There are so many incredible venues in Colorado.  My very favorites are Aspen Mountain Club and Devil’s Thumb Ranch

Name: Danielle Meyer

Number of years in the wedding business: This will be my second full season working in the wedding industry. My experience lies in the field of interior design–more specifically commercial interior design, which includes design of such things as hotels, restaurants, corporate offices, fitness clubs, hair salons and retail spaces.

Favorite wedding detail:  I love flowers! I think the right use, color, and amount of flowers can be used to accent the smallest details (like your menu card on a folded linen napkin) or become one the biggest focal points–like your centerpieces and bouquets. Flowers are one of the easiest ways to add style and color to your wedding day.

Favorite moment at weddings:  I live for the moment when the groom first sees the bride. In my opinion, there is nothing that shows the couple’s love for each other more than that simple exchange. I absolutely melt if he gets a tear!

Favorite Colorado venues:  Maroon Bells in Aspen for an outdoor mountain ceremony that will take your breath away. Botanic Gardens or Hudson Gardens as alternatives to the typical ceremony and reception spots in the Denver metro area.

Five words that describe me: Stylish, Fun, Creative, Detail-oriented, Loving and Open (I know I cheated, but the last 2 are inseparable for me!)

Five words that absolutely do not describe me: Superficial, high-maintenance, sloppy, closed-minded, dull.

My Starbucks order is:  I get sleepy on caffeine–weird, I know–so I often go for hot cocoa or tea.

My hobbies and interests:  I have made a career out of my love and interest for design. I ooze creativity, so wedding and interior design are the perfect canvas on which to create exciting designs with clients.
I also play soccer 3-4 times a week as a way to maintain balance in my life and stay in shape. I love anything athletic and outdoorsy…camping, hiking, climbing, etc. Most of my downtime is spent with my fiance and my enormous Great Dane puppy!
