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!

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?

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 …

Brides, how many of you have agonized over finding that perfect heel for your dress? Are your bridesmaids stressing over their shoe, too? Sometimes it seems as if the shoe is harder to find than the dress itself. Well, there’s no need to worry because My Glass Slipper has you covered. They offer more than 250 wedding shoes from designers such as Kate Spade, Badgley Mischka, Stuart Weitzman, and so many more.

Need to find that elusive cute, dyeable shoe? They have you covered as well – get a color swatch for only $1 each to match your shoe selection to your dress.
