An Elegant Mountain Wedding in Beaver Creek
Sarah & Shane | August 27th
From the bride: Growing up in Colorado, my dream was always to get married in the mountains. We love to spend time in the mountains year-round, with Vail and Beaver Creek being our favorite mountain towns. I wanted a classic, elegant wedding with a mountain feel. I love flowers so, we incorporated flowers into every aspect of the day. Our color palette was a mix of coral and light pink with lots of greenery to contrast with the beautiful mountain views. We also included gold accents throughout the ceremony and reception. Read more below…

A Mountain Wedding in Silverthorne, Colorado
Sam & Kyle | June 11th
From the bride: Kyle and I met in the funnel cake line at Colorado State University (CSU) where we both attended. We dated for about seven years before he FINALLY proposed! On the morning of my birthday, we walked around at the CSU oval throwing the ball for our puppy, Bailey. I reached down to get the ball and saw the ring!
WHY COLORADO
We absolutely love the Colorado mountains. We both love to ski, snowboard, hike, etc. We’re also Colorado natives.
THE CEREMONY
We got married at a private house north of Silverthorne. It was BEAUTIFUL! Looking to the west, you could saw Buffalo Mountain and a field of purple flowers. We didn’t plan it, but the flowers perfectly matched our wedding colors.
My most memorable moment was seeing my husband cry as I held his hands. This was the first time that I have ever seen him cry. I held it together but just lost it after that.
THE RECEPTION
We held our reception at the Silverthorne Pavilion, a beautiful building in town right across the river.
ADVICE
Plan everything together! Break in your shoes several weeks before the wedding – I didn’t do this and my feet hurt so bad. I ended up taking off my shoes after the ceremony. If you have a destination wedding, rent a house so everyone can be together and have FUN!

Rocky Mountain Vintage
Lauren & Lucas | June 2nd | Evergreen, Colorado
From the photographer, Daylene Wilson Photographic:
Lucas bought Lauren’s vintage ring and hid it in his guitar case for over 6 months before proposing!
Lauren has an amazing sense of style and did this entire wedding on her own, including going to The Brass Armadillo every weekend to pick out the perfect touches.
Lauren used milk glass and vintage price tags for table numbers. She picked out the fabric for the napkins, handpicked all the vases for the tables, and made the favors.
Lauren’s family made every dessert on the morning of the wedding by hand!

A Mountain Romance in Vail
Lauren & Benjamin | September 15th | Vail, Colorado
From the bride:
We love the mountains and the outdoors. We have both spent lots of time in Summit and Eagle Counties skiing, snowboarding, climbing, hiking and cycling. Ben proposed to me in Frisco, Colorado so we knew we wanted an outdoor ceremony in the mountains with a beautiful view.

It rained the day of our wedding, which I hear is good luck and honestly I wasn’t upset about it. Cloudy days make for great photographs!
My favorite detail was my dress! I think I almost tried on every dress in Denver looking for that magical moment when you know “this is the one!” Just as I started to lose hope I found it. When I put it and looked in the mirror it brought tears to my eyes and I knew it was perfect! Once I found it, it was probably the easiest decision of the whole wedding!
I wanted our wedding to feel personal and reflect us as a couple. I wanted it to be artistic and creative.
My degree is in fine arts concentrating in Graphic Design. It’s both a gift and a handicap… I end up taking a lot on myself. I designed the save the dates, wedding invitations, made hairpieces and earrings for the bridesmaids.
Our ceremony was amazing. It was freezing, but it was beautiful. I’ve been to so many weddings that they all start to seem repetitive and we did everything we could to make ours uniquely about us.
My brother-in-law recently graduated seminary and preformed our ceremony. His knowledge of us and our relationship made it so special. I loved every moment of it. We did not write our own vows because neither of us felt we could eloquently express our feelings in front of a large group of people. So, instead we spent time reading through several sets of vows. We found some that really spoke to us, but saying them to each other on our wedding day was more powerful than I ever could have expected.
I later found out that all day long our 3-year-old niece, who was also one of our flower girls, was following us around pointing at us and saying “Happily Ever After!” That affirmed everything! I truly was a princess that day!
Our guest book was a pair of antique skis that we sanded and re-stained.
At the end of the evening we had a sparkler send off and a white limousine.
