Natalie + Austin | Small Mountain Wedding Venue in Colorado

Their Story: "Even though Austin was born and raised in Kansas and I’ve lived in Nebraska all my life, our paths crossed several years ago.  I really didn’t want a big wedding and we both love the mountains, so a small mountain wedding seemed perfect!  I have 3 kids and we’re excited to include them in the ceremony!".
Wedding Details:  A great way to incorporate kids into the wedding day is to not only have them has junior bridesmaids & groomsmen, but to also do a sand ceremony in which each member of the newly formed family pours a little sand into a decorative jar.  After their getting-ready, they decided to do a private first look where they read their wedding vows to each other, which is a great way to incorporate meaningful sentimental moments just for the two of you (learn more about first look ideas).  The ceremony was held at a gorgeous overlook that accommodates up to 35 guests - a perfect small wedding outdoor venue in Colorado!  After the ceremony and group photos, we spent a little more time with only the couple doing a mini photoshoot not only at the ceremony site, but also the nearby lakeshores for a variety of backdrops.  They then met-up with their guests at a small golf course property where they were the only ones (yes, kind of like your own private small venue).  

More Tips and Ideas:  Natalie and Austin booked our 3-hour intimate wedding package which includes photographer, officiant, florals, cake, planning and onsite coordination.  Their only additions were a few more spray bouquets and boutonniere for their kids and our benches/seating for the guests.  Natalie wanted a voluptuous and flowing bouquet with burgundy, deep fuchsia and accents of coral/peach with whites and greenery - it was gorgeous for a summer wedding adding a “pop” to the natural backdrop of mountains, lake and trees.  For the cake, yes - you can order different flavors for the top and bottom tiers: 

• Top tier - Peach Melba - White cake, Grand Marnier flavor, sliced peaches and whipped cream on one layer, raspberry preserve on another layer, topped with marzipan (can be included in a middle layer if not preferred on top). 
• Bottom tier: Raspberry Mousse - White cake, raspberry flavor, raspberry mousse filling.
