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!

Meet the Team - Amber

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

Number of years in wedding business: 3 years

Favorite Wedding Detail: I love the personal details that let you know exactly who the bride and groom are as a couple. Anything from naming the tables after places they have traveled together to serving their guests the wine they had on their first date. I love it when a couple can add special details to their wedding that tells their story while showing off their personalities.

Favorite Moment at Weddings: This changes with every wedding for me, but I just adore the moment right after the bride and groom kiss for the first time. They face their guests with so much excitement! That is the moment when they relax and look forward to a fabulous time!

Favorite Colorado Venues: Grant Humphrey’s Mansion, and The Magnolia Hotel

Five words that describe me: Creative, Spontaneous, Compassionate, Loyal, and A (great) Listener

Five words that absolutely do not describe me: Judgmental, Lazy, Negative, Dishonest, Unsupportive

My Starbucks order is: Tall non-fat Chai with a Petite Vanilla Bean Scone

My Hobbies and Interests: Cooking, baking, interior design, finding great restaurants and coffee shops, yoga, traveling, theater, live music, movies, and sushi. I love participating in all of these activities with my fiancé, family, friends, and spending time with our 3 little cats!

Do’s and Don’ts For Your Mountain Wedding - Part I

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

For the next week, we are focusing on the do’s and don’ts of mountain weddings in Colorado. Whether you have lived in Colorado your whole life or are having a destination wedding here, there are unique circumstances and logistics for mountain weddings.

Hair and Make-up - Be realistic about your hair and makeup options. While a Colorado mountain wedding can be a dream come true, wind, cold and rain can do damage to hair and makeup. When planning a mountain wedding, take the elements into consideration before choosing your hair style. For an outdoor ceremony, seriously consider an updo. This tried and true style will keep you looking polished all night. If you are determined to wear your locks down, invest in a stylist to spend the day with you touching up your makeup and hair so you do not have a tangled and messy hairstyle by the time you enter the reception.

Your Guests - Do plan to entertain your guests. A mountain wedding is definitely more work than a wedding in Denver or in your hometown. You are not only inviting guests to your wedding, but you have also invited them on vacation. Plan activities at the ski resort, a welcome reception complete with smores, an easy day hike or other simple activities where your guests can spend time with you without breaking their budget.

Wedding Week Activities - On the other hand, don’t feel obligated to plan every minute. Guests are on vacation too. Do provide them with activity options and a short itinerary for the week so they know where to find you. However, definitely allow them time to explore on their own. Your wedding website is a good place to list local activities for your guests.

Guest List - Don’t expect everyone you invite to attend. Traveling is expensive, especially to some of the mountain towns in Colorado. Because of this, expect a certain percentage of your guests to decline your invite. While this can be initially disappointing, it will make for a much more intimate celebration.
