As you may have heard, one of ATOB’s own recently got engaged. Kaylie and Scott will tie the knot this summer in Montana but took their engagement photos here in CO with the bride’s sister Brooke of Brooke Peterson Photography.

We can’t wait to share the big day with Kaylie and Scott. Congratulations!

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 couldn’t have asked for better entertainment than hip-hop violinist, Maestro Hughes- he provided a great energy and had everyone on their feet!

What a great event and we’re so happy to have been a part of it. Thanks to our amazing team, we couldn’t have done it without you!

We love the Do-It-Yourself trend! Homemade details and knick-knacks with special meaning for a couple are our FAVORITE. If you’re like us then you’ve probably heard of Etsy?

Etsy is a virtual marketplace for all sorts of handmade goodies. Anyone can start a shop on Etsy and sell art, jewelry, clothes, vintage items and the list goes on. It’s an awesome place to find all sorts of stuff for your home and for your wedding.

What you might not have heard of is the virtual marketplace that is specifically for weddings; Wedzu. Wedzu is like the sister to Etsy made for brides! Designers on Wedzu are dedicated to helping brides make the perfect stationary, bridesmaid’s dresses and invitations.

The editors are awesome and they post fun, new vendors on the blog every few days. You can search different categories like jewelry, honeymoon, beauty and more. Check out these beautiful veils from Sibo Designs! It’s so much fun to browse around… enjoy!

After living in Seattle I just can’t shake my love of all things Nordstrom. I was recently down at the Park Meadows store and discovered the Wedding Suite. The Suite carries a number of lines from different designers with a price range of $160 to $3,300. Plus on top of your gown they can help you with bridesmaid dresses, suits for the men, and accessories.

This dress is by Tadashi Shoji. Just gorgeous and only $548.

This simple textured gown from Nicole Miller is also fabulous!

And my personal favorite …

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!

Wrapped up in that little blue box is the new Tiffany Grace collection.  The collection features princess-cut and round brilliant diamonds bezel-set in platinum.

The tiara sparkles with an open pattern of circles and squares that would top off a gown with gorgeous.

Tennis champion Maria Sharapova wore these diamond drop earrings from the collection at the 2011 US Open.  If only I could wear something like this while exercising- it would make it all worth it!

You can find this beautiful collection at your Tiffany’s store or online!
