In Love with Lilac

Kerri Butler — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 15:06:49 +0000

Is there anything more lovely than the intoxicating scent of lilacs?

Would a wedding palette designed around lilacs look like this?

What a beautiful idea!

Ombre, Ombre, everywhere….

The hottest color trend that we are seeing around the wedding planning corner is ombre…it a natural color palette run, panatones abound in these beautiful patterns.

Katie and Giji’s Indian Jungle in the City: Denver Art Museum Wedding

Kerri Butler — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 21:32:09 +0000

We had the great pleasure of planning Katie and Giji’s wedding at the Denver Art Museum last August. Their Indian jungle in the city themed event was full of color, life and happiness! They tied the knot in the Sculpture Garden to a string quartet. The ceremony included cultural traditions including the string ceremony and sari ceremony.

A little wedding planner hard at work on a dress right before ceremony!

Katie was a beautiful bride in her dress from The Bridal Collection.

The Denver Art Museum set a contemporary backdrop for this visually stunning event!

Foreign coins were attached to every escort card, and the couple asked to drop their coins in a container to indicate a donation to three of their favorite charities.

The beautiful stationary suite and all signage were created by The Paper Guppy.

The stage was set…we transformed Pointi Hall into an Indian Jungle with the help of Event Rents, The Perfect Petal, and lighting by Fast Lane Productions to project through the leaves of the almost 50 palm trees in the room. The guests applauded when the room was revealed!

The room also featured a 25 foot dessert bar with a four tiered cake and over 900 desserts. It was consumed by guests while entrees were being served!

The guests danced the night away to the tunes of Elite DJ. The saris were stunning, even the bride had a costume change!

Such a beautiful couple and a colorful wedding – we wish Katie and Giji the best in their new life in Texas!

Diamond Rings are pretty things!

Diamonds are a girl’s best friend… combine them with a beautiful, sleek and modern piece of artwork and you have yourself a creation from John Atencio.

Does the ring showcase the diamond, or is the diamond merely the canvas for the ring? You choose!

Is Red the new White?

Becky — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 19:00:27 +0000

Or are we returning to our roots?

Red has been popping up everywhere as an alternative to the white wedding dress.

Here is a little history lesson on the Red wedding gown thanks to Luxurious Wedding Style Report.

Throughout the ages, Red was the traditional wedding dress color. Red is the color of good luck and auspiciousness. White was never even considered until 1840 when Queen Victoria had a white wedding gown made to incorporate some white lace she owned. Wanting to be like the Queen, women soon adopted the White Wedding Gown.

Roman brides wore fiery red veils. Today, Greek, Albanian and Armenian brides wear red veils. Chinese brides wear red wedding gowns and are carried to the ceremony in a red litter. Then the bride walks on a red carpet and is greeted by the groom who lifts her red veil. In ancient Russia people also loved the color red which symbolized joy, sun and beauty by wearing a red color sundress.

Roman brides wore red to protect themselves from evil. Brides in the middle ages wore red as a mark of the high status and many Indian brides still hold to this tradition. Chinese brides still wear red on their wedding day as a expression of good luck.

This OUI for MATTISON by Malan Breton gown was the finale for the Malan Breton Fall 2011 Collection.

Real Wedding – Jim and Kristen’s citrus-inspired wedding

Nicole — Thu, 26 May 2011 21:45:33 +0000

Jim and Kristen’s June wedding had a citrus-inspired color scheme that took full advantage of the sunny skies in Colorado. Their inspiration board sent their vendors into a sunny creative direction.

We love all of the ways color was brought into the day:

They got married at the gorgeous and dramatic Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception.

Who doesn’t love an old Rolls Royce?

We just love this bright and beautiful centerpiece by Babylon Floral.

Bright lanterns adorned the ceiling, and then came down to the floor when it was time to dance.

We love the look of surprise on her face – and the red flower in her hair!

Congratulations, Kristen & Jim!

Like a Kid in a Candy Store

Jazmine — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 21:47:13 +0000

Seriously, how much fun is this tablescape by Dylan Lauren?!?! I love everything about it – the colors are so vibrant, festive, and inviting! It’s also a known fact that candy makes you feel like a kid again, and thanks to Dylan, daughter of Ralph Lauren and owner of Dylan’s Candy Bar in New York, this tablescape envelopes us in great childhood memories .

Any bride that wants to have fun and playful elements like this in her wedding will definitely have the key to my heart. One word of warning: you may want to keep the little ones away and keep your dentist on speed dial!

Just Some Eye Candy

bridget — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 18:00:12 +0000

So I know the phrase, “Inspiration can be found ANYWHERE!” is super cliche and can even be really frustrating when you reallycan’t seem to find inspiration for a project or problem you’re working on.

Well, the truth of that phrase rang true when I stumbled upon Stina Persson’s site several years ago. A fantastic illustrator based in Stockholm, Stina has provided me with endless motivation when I’m stuck on something. The vivacity and strength of her colors and lines always spur me to get through my rut. Now I am finding the same inspiration from her pieces and applying them to weddings. Wouldn’t her bold colors provide a beautiful palette for a sassy summer soiree?? Go ahead and nod your head… nobody’s watching. ;) Take a peek at her website the next time you’re stuck and see how you get inspired!

heart,

Anna is Inspired… by Hermès

Anna Mae — Sun, 28 Mar 2010 03:39:52 +0000

On a very windy afternoon in Denver today, our fearless leader, Ms. Kerri Butler, took me on my first jaunt to Hermès… Upon entering the shoppe, I was speechless to say the least… The colors are the first thing that spring to mind when entering… the patterns are breathtaking, and the craftmanship… a work of art. I have many scarves, however, I have never owned an Hermès scarf… This will change one day soon… one day, I will own an Hermès scarf … and it will be very special to me. For those who idolize things colorful and revere unique patterns, here is some beauty to enjoy :)

one word….LOVE!

enjoy the beautiful colors and patterns… and….be inspired :)
