What a year 2015 was! We had 20 weddings between April and December, and had the absolute pleasure of celebrating with couples from across the country. We had the honor of planning the first same-sex wedding at Beaver Creek Chapel, sent a bride down an aisle built over the Four Seasons pool, and even made it down to Denver for a gorgeous celebration at the Botanic Gardens. We couldn’t keep all the love (or the gorgeous details!) to ourselves, so join us for a trip down memory lane!
We kicked off the season with Franchesca and Augustin’s wedding at the Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch, where the couple wed on the patio at Spago before heading into the ballroom for a killer dance party.

In June, Laura and Michael had a beautifully classic wedding at Beaver Creek Chapel and Country Club of the Rockies. We loved the mountain-modern combination of white blooms and metallic accents!

For Courtney and Bryan, we transformed the ballroom at the Ritz Carlton into a glamorous champagne-hued bash for an intimate crowd. The only thing that shone more than the glow of candlelight? Courtney’s jaw-dropping gown!

For Amanda and Blaine’s July 4th wedding, half of our team took over TenMile Station. A little rain couldn’t stop the festivities, which incorporated elements of Blaine’s Native American heritage, all capped off by Breck’s annual firework show!

Meanwhile, the rest of our team was in Vail for Jennifer and Ryan’s celebration at Cucina Rustica. The cozy restaurant atmosphere was perfect for the intimate crowd, who headed out onto Vail Mountain to catch the fireworks once dancing was done.

In July, we headed up Gondola One in Vail to The Tenth for Katie and Brett’s gorgeous contemporary wedding. Their floral altar perfectly framed the mountain views, and the evening was capped off with an absolutely mouthwatering dessert table.

We love having the chance to work with locals, especially when the bride and groom’s love story is anchored here in Summit County. Tiana and Jared wed at the bride’s family’s home (after pictures where they had their first date and got engaged!).

Kyndal and Daniel had a beautiful ceremony at Beaver Creek Chapel before heading up to Beano’s Cabin for the reception. Mountain elegance filled the space, and a dance party in a mountain-modern tent on the lawn was the perfect way to cap off the night!

Tucked away north of Vail is Piney River Ranch, a perfectly rustic venue with serious mountain charm. Kaitlin and Abe brought us along for the fun, and we loved bringing her relaxed vision to life.
