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!

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 …

Vanessa and Marcos are getting married next September at the Lakewood Heritage Center. A Touch of Bliss are planning an amazing day ! Check out their super cute engagement shoot in Denver.

A big thanks to Rachael of Rachael Grace Photography for the beautiful photos.

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!

On September 3, 2010, Tara and Josh had a “Phantom of the Opera” inspired wedding at the Oxford Hotel in Denver.

Before the ceremony, both bride and groom took advantage of the beautiful stairwells at The Oxford Hotel.

Love N Joy Photography captured some urban shots of the couple and wedding party around downtown Denver.

Little touches like masks and feathers to brought in the “Phantom of the Opera” theme to life. Kelley Kakes did wonders with the inspiration on the cake.

Congrats, Tara & Josh!

It was an absolute pleasure to bring to life Kristin and Guido’s vision of a wedding that would celebrate the union of their unique cultures.  Joined by their family and friends, our bride and groom were married at the Good Shepherd Catholic Church on August 14, 2010.

Colby Poppleton of Colby Elizabeth Photography did a phenomenal job of capturing this couples love for one another at the beautiful City Park in Denver.  Keeping with their cultural theme,  elegant Italian and American signs were added that quite literally “tied the knot”.

Delicious and gorgeously decorated pastries were provided by Cakes by Karen.

The reception, located at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, was elegantly decorated with candles and lanterns that glowed with Denver’s magnificent city scape in the back ground.  They also provided a photo booth complete with all sorts of goofy props for the guests to enjoy.

Many, many thanks to our wonderful vendors!
