Kate + Chris: exchange vows in the fall with a Colorado micro-wedding package

Their Story:  “We are both in the aviation industry and have our pilots license.  We met at aviation maintenance school. A small, intimate setting is more our style. We like local bed and breakfasts and exploring. We initially almost moved to Denver years ago.”  Thus began the planning for Kate and Chris’s destination Colorado micro-wedding package with 23 of their guests mostly traveling from St. Louis and Philadelphia.  

Planning Details:   We started working with Kate and Chris about six months in advance of their micro-wedding wedding of 20 guests when they reached out to us through our ceremony site report services, which is a written consultation with detailed information about site options that will work with couple’s vision, budget, needs and priorities.  For their Colorado micro-wedding, they identified their top priorities as having scenic mountain views, uniquely intimate ceremony, an unforgettable experience and great photography.  Check, check and check - we got it covered and see their photos below ⬇️ 🎉  I’m biased, but I think any wedding in the mountains is unforgettable. With having 20 or fewer guests, there are more places you can go that I wouldn’t take a group of over 20 (mountain passes, you could ride a gondola). But, In think just having a spectacular view and a fun time with your guests is unforgettable.

Wedding Details:  It was also important for Kate and Chris to have nice florals, a more secluded spot and seating for guests at their Colorado micro-wedding.  So, they chose to exchange vows at Sapphire Point Overlook in Summit County, which is a great venue for small wedding…. But I wouldn’t necessarily consider it secluded as it is situated off a heavily trafficked trail.  Though, we do setup signage that states “wedding in progress” and thus most visitors are respectful.  Read this article for more detailed tips and current information at Sapphrie Point. 

Throughout their planning, they decided to add three bridesmaids and three groomsmen.  We do add florals for wedding parties and a little extra timing to get those fun group photos.  The couple and bridal party stayed at the Timer’s Edge vacation house managed by Paragon Lodging, and then had a first-look and a few pre-wedding photos before convoying out to the micro-wedding venue.  Afterwards, they had group photos. When finished with that, we sent the guests ahead to the Hearthstone restaurant to enjoy some cocktails and hors d’oeuvres while finishing with about 15 minutes of photos with only the couple.  An average time allotment for this type of micro-wedding package is about 3.5 to 4.0 hours, depending on the timing to/from the ceremony venue and restaurant.

Tips and Ideas:  With a fall wedding in mind, Kate wanted pretty florals in a peach, corals, and cream color scheme which can bring out the warmth and coziness of the season. Planning a micro-wedding may seem like a daunting task, but with the right tips and tricks, it can be an unforgettable experience. In this post, we'll discuss tips for having a beautiful fall micro-wedding with a peach, corals, and cream color scheme.

• Location:  choosing the location of your fall micro-wedding is crucial. In Colorado, most our couples want a venue that is scenic yet still accessible (no hike required).  An outdoor venue such as an overlook, park, or garden would be perfect for a fall wedding. This will give you plenty of opportunities to incorporate natural elements like autumn foliage, twigs, and branches. 
• Color Scheme.  when selecting your color scheme for a fall micro-wedding think of other colors besides the traditional red, orange and yellow.  Peach, corals, and cream are perfect for a fall wedding.  You can also go monochromatic.  For example, we see a lot of solid orange-rust bouquets, or solid red-burgundy-ruby bouquets.  Also consider taking a complimentary color for accents.  Purple works great with both orange and reds.  In fact, purple is a wonderful fall color to balance yellow backdrops from changing aspen trees.  Finally, another great color scheme is going with jewel tones. 
• Photography.  Photography and videography are crucial in capturing your micro-wedding day with peach and corals.  This is a perfect color scheme for adding natural elements like twigs, stone, berries and branches.  It is also a softer color scheme but with enough contrast to make your photos pop with a green backdrop, and in Kate and Chris’s cake…. The green of the bridesmaids dresses.   
• Other elements.  Be sure to add additional florals for your cake and incorporate florals into your hair.  For micro-weddings, not much decoration is needed, but you can always add-on a couple of centerpieces, or a floral collar for your dog.  Sometimes couples will send invitations which reflect your color scheme.  But a gorgeous bouquet and cake are all that is needed make it flow together well.
