Modern Green and White Table Design

Thursday, January 19th, 2012

modern-white-green-wedding

We had the privilege to design four distinct inspiration tables for the Denver ISES-NACE event last summer.  Not only did we get to showcase the styles we have always wanted to try, we spoke to 150 of our industry peers about our designs!  This modern green and white style is the first table we are sharing on our blog.

This table design is perfect for a couple who enjoys modern style with a clean color palette. This would be beautiful for a summer wedding.  It’s modern, clean and distinct.   It would also be fun to add a few pops of orange for a more whimsical feel. You can see more photos of this design in our design gallery.

Estes Park Wedding Planner | Della Terra Mountain Chateau Wedding

Tuesday, December 20th, 2011

It was so much fun planning Carrie and Derek’s wedding!  We love their sense of humor and zest for life. Della Terra was the backdrop for this beautiful Colorado wedding.  The weather was absolutely perfect and Carrie and Derek said their vows at the beautiful outside ceremony location. Herb, better known as Herbie the Love Judge, kept the theme of humor running through the ceremony while imparting words of wisdom on this beautiful couple. The ceremony was set to music provide by Sure Thing Entertainment, the ring bearer pulled the flower girl in an adorable red wagon as Carrie prepared to walk down the aisle. After the ceremony, guests enjoyed cocktails and appetizers on the deck at Della Terra.  Guests were invited into a beautiful ballroom with tables decorated in deep purple and brown satin linens. PlumSage brought the outside indoors with aspen birch centerpieces. We also brought nature inside by using pine cones as escort card holders. Guest enjoyed the most creative variety of action stations that I have ever seen at a wedding, from the “Brinner station” (breakfast for dinner), which had waffles on a stick and chocolate syrup, to the mac and cheese bar, guests enjoyed the tasty treats provided by Footers Catering.

The cake was equally unique, they had a cake that looked like an Aspen tree but was topped with a bride and groom gummy bear couple. Accompanying the wedding cake was a grooms cake that was a glass of Guinness that depicted the groom floating in the beer with his dog, Dbar desserts did an outstanding job on the cake designs. After dinner, it was time for dancing with Raising Cain Band. The guests worked up an appetite for the beautiful candy buffet provide by Pink Posey and a late night chocolate fountain. Jason+Gina and 1321 studios did an amazing job with photography and video production.  Planning and design by Brynn at Save the Date Events.

Rosie and Taylor were one of the sweetest couples we have had the pleasure of working with.  They both live in Washington DC and wanted a fabulous tent wedding at the home of Taylor’s mom in Denver.  Rosie had great design ideas and we loved working together to create the overall atmosphere. We incorporated many wonderful little details such as custom made napkins, grandma’s antique linens at cocktail hour and a custom cake made with love from a family friend. The groom’s only request was that the wedding be Bronco’s colors - orange and blue. 

The clean look of the wood tables and bamboo chairs really made a style impact as guests entered the tent.   Pick Me did an oustanding job with the florals and decor.   Thank you Rosie and Taylor for being so wonderful to work with. You truly touched our hearts and we wish you the absolute best wishes!

Della Terra Mountain Chateau Wedding | Estes Park Weddings

Tuesday, November 1st, 2011

Kate and Kevin are arguably one of the most adorable couples in the world! It was so much fun working with these two on their light, airy, and happy wedding this past August at Della Terra. For their colors, soft champagne provided an excellent backdrop for bold, bright hues of red and orange. These colors emanated from every detail, from the linens and centerpieces to the bridesmaids’ dresses and shoes—even to the wedding cake, which was inspired by Kate’s gorgeous wedding dress.

It was the little things made this wedding very memorable. For example, because Kevin’s birthday was the day after the wedding, Kate surprised him with a Rubik’s cube birthday cake (an iconic symbol of the groom’s childhood). That moment, and many others, made this wedding a true original. Special thanks go to Rachael Grace Photography for capturing those moments. Congrats Kate and Kevin!

Monday, November 29th, 2010

gerard-wedding-1041

This beautiful and creative couple, Holly and Seth, got married on a warm day in August at a stunning Colorado venue called Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfied. Having the mountains within reach and an adorable red barn, Chatfield is a dream.

Holly and Seth are incredibly talented and designed every aspect of their wedding details, from the scrabble table names, to the ceremony and reception direction posts, to the hidden message on the cake. Holly is also a talented graphic designer and after having so much fun designing her own wedding, she has started created wedding-related papers for other brides.

The bride’s makeup was styled by Natosha from Aphrodite Affairs. The beautiful flowers were created by Bella Fiori and they did an amazing job! The adorable cake was designed by Intricate Icings, and as always it is perfect! The beautiful day was captured by Lupher Arts for video - and these AMAZING photos were provided by Fuse Photographic. Thank you Travis and Laura for sharing their stunning wedding photos.

This incredibly amazing couple got married at Wild Horse Inn on 4th of July Weekend and what a crazy fun evening that was! The sweet wedding ceremony was held outside in the warm breezy weather, and then the party moved under a white tent decorated with lights and fabric. The beautiful flowers were designed by Pick Me! Floral Design and they did an incredible job.

The food was provided by Wild Horse Catering and was delicious. Guests were also treated to a dessert buffet created by Sweet Celebrations - SO delicious!

Ashley and Kyle had some serious dancers, I wish I could have the playlist from the reception. The tunes were provided by Mike from A Music Plus and it took super efforts to stop myself feet from dancing. At the end of the evening we opened the Scotch and Cigar Bar which was a huge hit with their wedding guests.

I loved planning with Ashley and Kyle for their Colorado wedding. They are incredibly genuine and had amazing families and friends.

Special thanks to the super team at Colorado Wedding Photograhers: Jason+Gina to a fabulous job!

Real Wedding Denver | Betina and Ken

It was a beautiful day in June when Betina and Ken got married at Boettcher Mansion in Golden, Colorado. It was a sunny and breezy day, with a short mountain burst of rain that did not stop this outside ceremony on the patio of the mansion. The wedding guests were all formally dressed at this black tie wedding, where the reception fare included a multiple course dinner experience catered by Footers Catering along with wine pairings specially chosen by the bride and groom. The beautiful flowers were created by Annie Aubert, and she did an amazing job!

The delicious cake was provided by Intricate Icings and was gone in a flash. The guests were dancing (including tango) to the tunes of Quality Mobile Sounds and the parents had some relief thanks to the helpful staff of Wedding Sitters by Charity. It was a beautiful evening, the bride looked lovely(thanks to Makeup by Janine) and it was a pleasure to work with this couple!

Special thanks to Julie and Chris from Sharber Photography for these amazing images.

Ask Gabby:Wedding Etiquette for the Contemporary Bride 2

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

rsvp2Dear Gabby,

I recently moved to Denver from a small town, where a couple invites close friends and family, not friend+date. Here, it is different. People who attend weddings are assumed to need the security of a partner in order to comfortably celebrate the event. And this person is often a stranger to the bride and groom. My fiancee and I just got engaged but are in a disagreement about this - I do NOT want strangers at my wedding, and he is perfectly okay with it. I consider a wedding as something intimate and private and also very special. How can I get around this trend without seeming rude?

Sincerely, Frustrated Bride

Dear Frustrated Bride,

I understand the desire to keep such a special day close to your heart (and family/friend circle!) My general suggestion is to ask yourself if you know the surname of the individual that your guest wants to bring as a date. If the pair have been dating and you have formed a relationship with the other person, it would be considerate to invite them on behalf of your guest. However, guests who are reading this should never assume that a wedding invitation addressed to you as an individual is actually a ticket-for-two unless specifically spelled out that way. Lastly, for any guests who inquire about bringing an unknown date, you may say “We are only inviting people we know to the wedding, but would love to meet her another time…” Sincere. To the point.

Bachelorette Party Ideas in Denver

Friday, June 11th, 2010

Today we wanted to share with you some fabulous ideas for your special Girls Night Out aka The Bachelorette Partay! While the boys are having their own fun, the ladies can have some seriously exciting activities of their own. Drum roll…Let me introduce the hottest dance studio in town, Tease Studio.Tease can offer customized one-hour parties for the bachelorette and her ladies that can focus on pole dancing, lap dancing and burlesque. This is a fun way to start your night out, and they are conveniently located close to downtown!

We also love the idea of some serious pampering! For this, we turn to the experts at Tootsies - The Nail Shoppe. Tootsies focuses on extremely sanitary nail care (as well as the reputation for keeping the nail polish on longer than anywhere else - how do they do that??) For your bachelorette party, Tootsies is a great choice because they have so much experience, have a fantastic atmosphere and prepare complimentary Hpnotiq “Tootsies Toniq” cocktails for these parties!

If you want to use either of these fabulous ideas, consult your wedding coordinator to plan these parties!

What Vintage Means to You - Part IV

Friday, April 16th, 2010
Vintage wedding blog

The early 1900s in America was an era of daring styles – short haircuts and shorter skirts. Women had liberated themselves from the constricting corsets and skirts of the decades before, and now wore loose dresses and even pants!

Although the Great Depression was right around the corner, the years before it were a time of peace and prosperity. Many fashion houses were founded in this age, including Chanel. Coco Chanel, the founder, emphasized elegance and class. She is the lady who insisted that every woman need own a Little Black Dress.

Some designers whose dresses mimic those of this era include www.jcrew.com, www.lazaro.com, and www.clairepettibone.com. If you don’t want to cut your hair into a bob, it should be pinned back or styled to look like one. Wide, jeweled headbands were very popular at this time and would lend your outfit authenticity. Necklaces were very long, often falling to waist-length (pearls were popular).

Dark, heart-shaped lips are a must, as are smoky eyes. Blush should be light.

Bridesmaids can be dressed as in this style as well, with loose-fitting, knee-length dresses and long strands of pearls. Cloche hats would add extra oomph! (you can always find those on www.etsy.com)

To pull this style into your wedding décor as well, try and incorporate art deco styles into your table linens and tableware. This means stepped forms, sweeping curves, chevrons or sunburst motifs. Wedding colors should be bold and opulent. Feathers could be incorporated into your flower arrangements. Rhinestones or glass beads could decorate your tables.

Ragtime and jazz music were very popular in this era, so consider hiring a band who can churn out tunes that people will want to dance the Charleston to!

Questions to Ask Before Buying Your Wedding Dress

Thursday, December 17th, 2009
short-wedding-dresses
The most important consideration when buying the dress for your Colorado wedding is very simple —to look and feel beautiful! When considering which boutiques to visit, check online for past reviews from brides and make an appointment during the week if possible. Here are top questions to ask before purchasing your wedding gown.

•What are your exchange and cancellation policies?
•Are any alterations included in the cost of the gown?
•Can I get a price list or estimate for possible alterations?
•What brand and designer lines do you carry?
•After my gown is ordered, how long will it take for it to come in?
•Will you store the gown until the wedding day if necessary?
•Will the gown be steamed/pressed when I pick it up?
•What are your deposit and payment policies?
•How long have you been in business?
•Do you offer a discount if my bridesmaid dresses are also ordered from you?
