Colorado Intimate Weddings & Elopements

Jen + Jason:  Microwedding Colorado

7/2/2019

Comments

 
Their story:  "Jason and I were setup by mutual friend.  We were both older and had never married, but hoped to find that special person to build a family together.  For us, it happened fast!  After six months of dating, we found out I was pregnant.  We now have a beautiful two-year-old.  We love our little family:  our motto - "three together!".  

Wedding details: Jen and Jason contacted us three months prior to the wedding (yes, we can plan a wedding in as little as 5 days, or 5 months)!  Breckenridge has always held a special place for them, having visited on family trips.  Their priority was a simple, intimate outdoor setting with a scenic background.  Family-focused and small:  6 adults, three kids.

Melissa + John  |  Intimate Colorado Wedding in the Mountains

6/1/2019

Comments

 
Their story: “John and I actually met online. It was not ideal at first, but now looking back, it was easily the best decision that I ever made :) We both thought we would have a traditional wedding, but looked into possibly doing a destination wedding. I did not expect for it to take off as fast as it did. We chose Colorado, because we both are so in love with nature. We knew that the mountain view was right up our alley!"

​
Wedding details:  Melissa and John took our base Intimate Wedding Package and the added several nice upgrades..... which, can we all agree their 3-year old daughter as part of the ceremony was the absolute CUTEST?!!!  Whenever we have couples that want to incorporate their children into the wedding, we recommend they exchange vows with kids and give them a little token - piece of jewelry, nice keychain.... any other ideas?  A couple of their other upgrades were chairs, floral ceremony arrangements, centerpieces at their dinner, and extending photography hours into the dancing and departures.

Ali + Michael  |  Sapphire Point Overlook small intimate summer wedding

8/24/2018

Comments

 
Their story:  like so many of our clients, Ali and Michale met online.  "We wanted a small wedding in the mountains because we didn't want to plan a large, elaborate wedding.  We wanted our families with us when we "eloped".  We both love the mountains and are big hikers, so it seemed like a wonderful place to get married." 

Wedding details: Looking back at our initial contact with the couple for their Ceremony Site Report, there top priorities were having good food, an outdoors ceremony site accessible to family members, and a great house to have a small reception.  We designed just that for their wedding day!  
 

The bride loves coral, so what better way to incorporate color than with flowers and cake!  The bride held a colorful & garden style bouquet in mostly coral & peach with purple & fuchsia and blue accents, created with dahlias, garden roses and other seasonal blooms with accents of mixed green succulents. 

The wedding day started with getting ready at a vacation home located in the stunning Shock Hill area of Breckenridge and a private "first-look" (with just the couple).  We all caravanned out to the ceremony site, Sapphire Point Overlook.  After the ceremony in which the groom's brother performed, we shot some fun photos before heading back to the vacation home where a private chef (Jen with the Happy Cuisiniere) was waiting with appetizers and drinks!

Laura + Tyler  |  Summer micro wedding in Rocky Mountain National Park

8/9/2018

Comments

 
Their story:  Laura & Tyler met in 2011 when starting medical school at Florida State University in Tallahassee. After graduating in 2015, both moved to Houston to start residency training. Upon completing residency, they hope to move to Denver. "We both have always wanted to live in Colorado as our favorite thing to do together is go hiking. Tyler actually proposed to me at the top of the Angels Landing hike in Zion National Park last Sept. We have an adopted rescue dog named Bella who is our cherished fur baby!"  We knew they were our type of client:  Wendee's rescue dog is also named Bella!

Wedding details:  sweet and structured in style, the purple bouquet adds natural colors found in the Rocky Mountain landscape - not to mention, we added material from her mom's wedding veil to the wrap.  We added 2 bouquets and 2 boutonnieres for their siblings as their wedding truly focused on family.  Notice the sweet notes and gifts the bride gave to all the women - so thoughtful!  We started the wedding service at their vacation home in Estes Park - this place was amazing and you could have a wedding there!  But, we traveled to the amazing Sprague Lake (maximum #15 guests - perfect for the micro wedding!).  After their ceremony, we returned to the vacation home to a private chef who had cooked an amazing dinner.  Their cake flavors:  raspberry mousse on the top tier and chocolate mousse on the bottom.

Bekah + Jason  |  Small Summer Tiny Wedding in Colorado

8/3/2018

Comments

 
Their story: "We have known each other since middle school, but started our relationship over the past several years. We want a small wedding because we've both been married before and don't want a typical wedding with all the hoopla that goes along with a big wedding.  We think Colorado is a beautiful place to get married!"
​
Wedding details
:  it was very important for our couple to include their combined three kids in the wedding.  So, they were involved in all the "first look" activities  walking the bride down the aisle, and a special ceremony in which they made commitments together as a family.  The bride wore a pale pink dress and wanted florals of pale pinks and ivories with accents of deeper pinks, possibly some plums and greens - we think it turned out romantically sweet!

Ali + Josh: Small Summer Wedding in the Colorado Mountains

7/12/2018

Comments

 
Their story: "We met in February of 2013 online - the funny thing is that we could have met in person because Josh was working with the General Contractor working on the remodel of my office at the time - haha! We joke that no matter what, we were supposed to meet!  We decided on a small mountain wedding because we wanted something intimate in a pretty setting where we could involve our kids and parents and get away from the City. We love the outdoors and spending time in the mountains, so this seemed right."

Wedding details:  An intimate and pretty wedding that incorporated their kids (standing up with them during the ceremony + a unity sand ceremony) is exactly what they got.  With summertime weddings, fun florals were abound:  a summer mix of pinks and purples with accents of ivory, dots of orange & yellow, pretty greens is what Ali requested.   ​

Emily + Daniel  |  Small Summer Wedding in the Colorado Mountains

7/11/2018

Comments

 
Their story: "We have known each other since elementary school, but we have been together since 10th grade (since we were 15, almost 12 years!).  We are both CO natives, and have always wanted a small wedding, especially since we are paying for everything ourselves.  We thought a small, mountain wedding would be perfect!  It is very important that we have our very closest family and friends there to celebrate with us."

Wedding details:  We love hearing stories of couples who have dated a long time and have decided to tie the knot!  One of the things that makes this package so great is that you get to have a wedding, without the huge expense of a traditional large event (TheKnot.com reports the average cost is $33,931!).  Emily wanted white florals with hints of blush and pink, greenery and succulents.  The sweet part: her cake flavors were  Couronne (chocolate cake, flavored with coffee liquor, one layer of mocha buttercream, one layer of chocolate buttercream), and Peach Melba (white cake, Grand Marnier flavor, sliced peaches and whipped cream on one layer, raspberry preserve on another layer

Victoria + Josh | Colorado Mountain Summer Elopement

6/24/2018

Comments

 
Their story: "We met in Virginia and we are both in the Navy.  We decided to elope to Colorado for the scenery and we love the outdoors. We’ve never been to Colorado, and wanted to elope somewhere memorable and have a great time."  Just the two of them traveled to Colorado for a pure elopement (they didn't announce it to their families until after their wedding!).  

Wedding details:  We get many clients that have never been to Colorado - we love sharing our beautiful state!  After consulting with the bride, we found that Summit County would be a perfect destination for them with hiking, biking, restaurants, and shopping, and more!  Victoria's style is shabby-chic with whites, pinks, deep blue accents and greenery.  We added-on a floral hair comb to match her bohemian-style ivory-champagne spaghetti strap dress.  They choose cake flavors after our own heart's desire:  Chocolate ganache (chocolate cake, rum flavor, chocolate mousse encased in ganache) and Peach Melba (white cake, Grand Marnier flavor, sliced peaches and whipped cream on one layer, raspberry preserve on another layer) - ooo-la-la!

Brittany + Adam  |  Small Colorado Mountain Wedding Overlooking Lake

6/22/2018

Comments

 
Their story: "Adam and I were set up at a Halloween party in 2014 and hit it off right away. Since then, we've traveled the world and have visited places like France, Greece, Iceland and Thailand.  Though, we are still your typical Colorado Native hikers and backpackers, which are the things that bonded us."

Wedding details:  When deciding where to get married, Brittany + Adam considered traveling out-of-state for a destination wedding or to get married in the Colorado mountains that they love.  "Obviously the Colorado mountains won as they have such a big piece of our hearts!"  We created a small intimate wedding package for them with a ceremony that included chairs for their guests.  They lodged in a condo in River Run Village at Keystone resort and hosted a casual dinner at a nearby Italian restaurant   We embellished her package just slightly with a bridesmaid bouquet, cake topper, a gluten-free cake.  She added personal touches by having her uncle perform the ceremony and having a private first look with her groom.

Melanie + Doug | Rocky Mountain National Park Microwedding Package

6/22/2018

Comments

 
Their story: "We met through friends almost 20 years ago, and became fast friends ourselves. After waiting so long to get married, we aren’t sure how to best go about it, but we know we feel most comfortable when we are with our family and when we are close to nature.  We continue to visit places in Colorado, discovering new places to add to our cherished memories."

Wedding details:  Melanie was born and raised in Colorado, and many of her family still live here.  "By fate or luck, all our family is able to come together this June."  And, we love their story: after having dated so long, deciding to get married in a place they love.  We enjoy capturing tiny details for our couples and found one in the note Melanie wrote to Doug:  "We deserve this!"  It was a total honor creating a micro-wedding for them in Rocky Mountain National Park.  They lodged at the iconic Stanley Hotel.  Post-wedding, they celebrated at a local restaurant in Estes Park that served cake with homemade ice cream!  Embellishments to there package were wrist corsages for the women.

Kelsey + Ben | Small Vacation Home Colorado Wedding

6/16/2018

Comments

 

A surprise engagement AND wedding!

Their story: This was one of the most unique weddings we have planned - a surprise engagement followed the next day by a surprise wedding.  What?!  Yes - the groom and both his/her families were all conspiring a destination surprise wedding trip to Colorado, but the bride did not know a thing about it!  
  • Friday's schedule:  a girls weekend (bride + best friend) flight arrival at DIA on Friday morning, a fake Uber driver (his best friend), to an engagement destination (Lookout Mountain in Golden), a surprise celebration luncheon in Golden (both families), dress shopping (prearranged that afternoon by bride's sister and mother), and a drive to a vacation house in Breckenridge where they were all staying.
  • Saturday's schedule:  the wedding day with onsite hair & makeup, musicians at the vacation home, our intimate wedding package, and a private chef catered dinner.  All the details were planned directly with the groom and Mom to reflect her style and personality:  whimsical, shabby-chic, yellow, sunflowers, daisies and her four-legged best friend.  ​

Allison + Zach  | Small Colorado Destination Wedding in Breckenridge

6/9/2018

Comments

 
Allison and Zach met through mutual friends in college at South Dakota State University. They both love the outdoors, and over the years have bonded over many hours of hunting, camping, hiking, and fishing. They wanted to get married in Colorado because they wanted an unforgettable outdoor ceremony to start to their adventure as husband and wife. They chose an intimate wedding because, "We believe this day is about celebrating each other and the love we have for one another."  They didn't want anything fancy - just us and some of their closest family.  We custom designed a sweet June wedding package for them that included romantic florals:  lush garden style with large blush & white flowers created with peonies, ranunculus, dusty miller and soft gray green eucalyptus foliage.

Brittany + Greg | Small Wedding in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado

6/8/2018

Comments

 
About the Couple:  Brittany and Greg met six years ago in Fort Collins, having been introduced by mutual friends.  "We hit it off right away, and after just a few dates...we knew we had something special."  They decided to do a small wedding because it was always their vision to have a wedding with just our closest family members.  "We wanted our special day to be exactly that...special!  And by doing a small wedding, it allows us to really enjoy the moment with our closest loved ones, without all the additional stress that larger weddings can potentially bring with them." 

​ Wedding details:  Brittany and Greg were planning a micro-wedding of less than 12 guests.  One of our favorite spots for this is in Rocky Mountain National Park.  They rented a vacation home near Allenspark, Colorado where they returned after their wedding for scrumptious dinner prepared by a private chef.  Because they enjoy spending time in Hawaii, their style, aqua color and inspiration is based on the sea, yet with a Colorado vibe.  We designed a wild-looking bouquet with a couple of her favorites: succulents and lilies.
