A Summer Romance in Colorado
From Julia & Ken Photography: The days are long and the nights are warm. The smell of freshly cut grass and sweet fruit is in the air. Summer has arrived. Rays of sunshine pour through the big windows of the bridal cottage at the Barn at Raccoon Creek and create the perfect romantic atmosphere as our bride Wendi is getting ready for her big day. She’s a hopeless romantic. Her dress represents that thoroughly. The blush lace gown with a beaded neckline and low-cut back from Casa Bianca Bridal fits her perfectly. She adores exquisite blush color details.
The beautiful touches included stationery work from Tasha at Tasha Rae Designs, a rustic engraved cake stand from Fox Creek Woodcraft, as well as Kailina from Roots & Wings Productions who was capturing this event beautifully on video.
The dress is hanging on a gorgeous antique wood carved hanger while Lark with Makeup by Lark is putting on the final touches and making sure Wendi looks flawless throughout the important day. The romantic half-up half-down hairstyle incorporating a braid and a beaded hair piece was created by Aleigha with Captivate Beauty. The unique jewelry pieces from Kellie at Daniel Diamonds added the finishing touch. The clean and bright space in the getting ready room provides soft and clean lighting for stunning bridal portraits before Wendi walked out to see her soon-to-be husband for the first time.
The chic blush-gold lounge area by Michele and Michael’Ann of The Hazel Grove Design created an intimate and fresh setting for loads of cozy scenes.
When Laura of Lummé Creations delivered the floral bouquet and centerpiece for the big day, our hearts skipped a beat! The bright-colored blooms in different shades of pink, yellow and greenery are the perfect prop for a girl on her summer wedding. The fresh and bold color florals add an extra pop and will make this sunny summer affair one to remember.
Jill at the Treatery delivered a perfect cutting cake in pink and white.
The unique bow tie and pocket square for this special occasion were designed by Denver’s very own The Knotty Tie company.
The Red rocks along the foothills of the Rockies served as a perfect backdrop for the bride and groom sunset portraits, finished off with a petal toss.
Finally, as the sun begins to set, the evening is completed by hopping into The Photo Bus for some fun selfies.
