Bunches of Bliss...Elevating Events, Designing Details, and Bits of Wedding Sunshine

Browsing the topic Event

We were so honored to be a part of the Unveiled event last week at the Four Seasons Hotel Denver! Celebrity dress designer Angel Rivera was there to show off his incredible gowns and our team pulled together and blew everyone away with our “Luxe-Allure” vignette. If you weren’t able to attend, here are some pictures to drool over:

Guests were greeted with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres provided by the Four Seasons- Design Works transformed the ballroom into a NYC style runway show!

Beautifully detailed gowns by Angel Rivera and a live Q&A with him on stage at the fashion show.
Every detail from the inspiration board was executed perfectly in the vignette- our team was right on point!

“Luxe- allure” meant jewel tones, custom made linens, and an over the top cake. The highlight was definitely the tablescape with the incredible floral arrangements compliments of Swank Stems! Splendor was also there to adorn each guest in colorful pashminas.

We are very honored and excited to participate in Unveiled, a wedding showcase at the Four Seasons Hotel in Denver featuring a runway show with the designs of Angel Rivera. The event will also feature four couture vignettes from four top planners, including A Touch of Bliss! There will be cocktails, apps, and cake to enjoy! Please RSVP soon, the event is next Thursday!

Angel’s designs will also be featured at Anna Be over that weekend, book your appointment now!

Congratulations to Rachel and Moe who tied the knot at The Four Season Denver on September 2, 2011. It was such a beautiful wedding with soft romantic details!

Swank Stems and Denver Design Works created a romantic setting for their vows on the poolside terrace.

Love N Joy Photography caught the fun and love that was part of this wonderful day!

There is no doubt it is going to be a rocking weekend in the Vail Valley for the 1st Annual Snowball Music Festival March fourth to the sixth.  Chad Donnelly, creator of the event and an employee at AEG Live,  envisioned a miniature “Coachella” in the mountains and pulled together an outstanding lineup of eclectic artists and up-and-coming musicians to play at the three day festival.

Bliss Studios has teamed up with AEG Live and the Avondale Restaurant at the Westin to throw an amazing VIP after party for the festival.   The party venue is an ideal location for music goers to head to after the kickoff of Friday’s shows. The Avondale is close to the main music stage area, has spectacular views, and has a great space that Bliss Studios will transform from an elegant restaurant into party central.

Bliss Studios has kicked into full gear to create a fantastic party for Snowball.  The beautiful Wilhemina models will be showcasing the sponsors’ clothing and accessories in a non-traditional fashion while the Avondale will be providing an assortment of fabulous food. We are working with great sponsors and hosts to make the inaugural Snowball VIP after party the best party in town!  This is one hot ticket- don’t miss it!

There are a billion perks to our job.

We get to live in a world where tiny, little moments are all that really matter. Saying “I do”, first dances, joyful tears.

We get to plan for a single day that’s completely and entirely committed to the idea of love.

We get to eat cupcakes, play with linens and quite literally “smell the daisies”.

We get to be a part of the creative transformation from any given venue into something that’s completely about YOU. We get to walk into art museums and make them more about your wedding vows than the Picasso’s that hang from the walls. We get to make the history of century-old castles more about the best man’s speech than the kings and queens that once strolled the halls. So, you can imagine how I drooled when I read this article in the New York Times.

I would do cartwheels if a bride came to me requesting that her wedding be in a parking garage! This would be a chance to transform something that’s typically equated to over-priced parking and janky corners to … “cinematic and absolutely dramatic”! I mean, SOLD!

So, brides out there – I’ll leave you with some inspiration in hopes that your creative juices just may lean towards oil stains and concrete as well!

Here’s to making your wedding venue YOU!

A few weeks ago, Olivia Omega and Ricki Booker, the chapter organizers of Ladies Who Launch Denver and Boulder, asked for my help to complete their upcoming event – The Leading Lady Awards, to recognize outstanding female business owners in the Colorado community. I called on a few of my favorite vendors to provide flowers, linens, and cupcakes for the 200 guests. Thank you to Sweet Pea Flowers, Butler Rents, and Intricate Icings for their amazing contributions! Thank you to the Curtis Hotel for their amazing contributions.

Thank you to Audrey Michel Photography for the photos from the event:

The little ones enjoyed their own bar, face painting and balloon animals. Hula Hoops, Spin Art, life sized Jenga and Connect Four kept everyone entertained.
In the afternoon, the main event took the stage as the runway show began. 40 adult models and 40 kids modeled the spring fashions of local Denver and Boulder boutiques including Blush, Loft 22, Tallulah Jones, and Real Baby. Here is a shot of me thanking our sponsors and over 40 volunteers!

One of the generous donors to the silent auction for the Hopscotch Hustle was a Boulder Based momprenuer, Hot Mama Designs. They create beautiful, handmade, one-of-a kind jewelry for moms and family. She was kind enough to send the samples for the auction made for me – what a treat! I have been flaunting my “K” and “Benjamin” design and she even sent a “Touch of Bliss” necklace!
