We are very excited about Shay and Mason’s upcoming wedding at the Bristlecone Pine Lodge in Breckenridge. These fantastic Denver engagement photos by the very talented Susan Pacek Photography really capture their fun loving personalities. We can’t wait for the wedding!
During the sixties, fashion became very fluid and varied, and broke many fashion trends. It was the era of the go-go boot, corduroy pants, paisley prints, mini-dresses and eventually styles we refer to today as “hippie”.
Large sunglasses, heavy eye makeup and pale lipsticks belong in this era. Large funky accessories were used, and hair was big. Think of wearing a minidress (pictured), or a long empire-waist gown to mimic the styles of this era. Put your bridesmaids in batik fabric or paisley or tie-dyed prints. Pass out daisies to your guests, and incorporate this flower into your arrangements. Skinny ties and fitted polyester suits could be worn by the groomsmen.
For a vintage inspired wedding from this era, use mismatched patterns and/or bright, psychedelic colors for your linens and napkins. Think about including patchouli incense sticks in your wedding favors. Hiring a classic rock and oldies band would set the perfect mood for your guests.

Expert Help - Don’t go it alone. Never plan a destination wedding completely on your own. In doing so, you are risking disappointments like your cake not showing up, choosing the less-than-ideal location, your flowers being late, etc. Consider hiring a professional experienced planner who has your best interests in mind. The time and peace of mind you receive will be well worth the expense.
Trust Your Expert Help - Once you hire your planner and vendors, trust them. You’ve found the best vendors to handle your day. Trust your judgment and their guidance, especially in a location where you may or may not have visited. While things like what time the sun sets behind the mountains and the effects of altitude may not be of concern to you, it will definitely be on the mind of your wedding planner as well as your other vendors, who are ultimately there to ensure you have a flawless wedding day.
