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!

Andrew and Jessica did a fantastic job of capturing the light-heartedness of the occasion, expressed in the details of the groomsmens’ converse shoes, the bright citrus-inspired colors for the wedding, and even Kelly’s dogs making an appearance as the bride prepared for her big day.

We absolutely loved the hints of vintage glamour that Kelly added with her gorgeous cage veil and sparkling accessories.

This happy bouquet was put together by Swiss Flower and Gift Cottage.

Blue Moon Cake Design created this whimsical cake, capturing the spirit of the day.

During the reception, flowers felt like they were raining from the sky, thanks to Denver Design Works.

Our beautiful brides focused on the intricate details of their special day and it turned out extraordinarily.  They chose a chic vintage-country theme that could not have been more appropriate to their unique interests and tastes. Surrounded by a charming country-garden scene, the couple shared their promises with one another among an intimate group of friends and family.

What wedding isn’t complete without a trampoline? Brides and guests jumping for joy.

Their special moments were beautifully captured by This Modern Life Photography.

The Teacup Shop provided a variety of pastries from fruit tarts to delectable cakes for any sweet tooth craving.

As the sun cascaded behind the Colorado mountains, the brides’ chic reception and feast began.   The tent held custom built wooden canopies that were adorned with candle-filled chandeliers and hanging ornaments.  The tables were overflowing with flower arrangements from Sweet Pea Flowers and plates full of mouth-watering food by Big Bang Catering.

Everyone danced into the night enjoying music from Michael Lawrence.

Sitting by an open campfire, guests melted marshmallows and made some tasty smores.

Congratulations Beth and Sarah!

Many, many thanks to our wonderful vendors!

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,

A understated elegance and pure style…Don’t you just LOVE the peacock element?

Talk about a unique cake topper!
