Annie + Joey’s NYC Engagement Session

I love New York and I love actors SO when my phone rang a few months ago from Annie and Joey – looking for some help to plan a mountain wedding – I had a feeling that we were going to get along just fine.  Every meeting and phone call (in the midst of a pretty amazing work season for these two) has made me giggle.  Enjoy these GORGEOUS photos from the always talented Laura Murray Photography and I cant wait to show you what we create for these two in July.  This one is going to be magic.  And click here to see more of this e-session featured on One Hitched Lane!

Anne + Andy C Lazy U Wedding

Anne + Andy’s wedding at C Lazy Ranch was absolutely one of my favorite winter weddings.  The gorgeous ceremony was in one of the pastures at the Ranch.  The guests and the bridal party all arrived by sleigh (and be sure to check out my Instagram feed to see how Rachel and I got there to set up!).  Jamee Photography’s photos are stunning.  The food (C Lazy U) and the cake (Intricate Icing) were divine and the guests boogied down all night thanks to the music from Chris of Tip Top DJ.  Yep, this was one of my favorites indeed.

C Lazy U Ranch Rehearsal Dinner

Anne and Andy are more fun than most people.  Tell me how many brides will not only have a GREAT design style but will also host AND PLAY in a pickup pond hockey game the day before their wedding?  Not many.  Not many at all.  And that is just one of the reasons that we adored working with this fantastic couple on their March winter wedding at C Lazy U Ranch.  As always – a big old thank you to our friend Jamee of Jamee Photography for sharing these gorgeous images!

Priorities

As you all know, I am pretty much smitten with my clients.  If I had to create a profile of the Love This Day Event Bride, you are fun, creative, kind soul and you want your wedding to be a reflection of that.  For my full planning clients, we begin by creating a priority list – this is before we create the budget or even consider a venue.  As the planning moves forward, we will revisit this list often (because quite frankly, the budget normally trumps the wants versus needs column).  I am delighted to be working with Allie and Owen to create an incredible wedding weekend in 2014.  And I want to share their list because it is kind and sweet and funny – just like them.  AND – if we can manage to get Mumford and Sons involved – game on.

Screen Shot 2013 03 28 at 10.49.21 AM 750x468 Priorities

Create your list and remember what is important to you.  That matters more than blogs, magazines and what your next store neighbor says.  Hold true to your values and your wedding will be exactly what you want.

Happy Thursday.

Claire + Bob Colorado Winter Wedding

I am witness to so many different couples over the course of a year.   Couples that are nervous, excited, madly in love, etc.  But Claire and Bob win the buckle for renewing my faith in love and family with their December wedding at Devils Thumb Ranch.  These two are so perfectly and madly in love.   And I am now in love with both of their incredible families.  Thank you for allowing me to assist with one of my favorite wedding days of all time.   And thank you to the lovely Sarah Hays for sharing her images of the day.

St Patrick’s Day Wedding Inspiration

I love green.  I love gold.  And I kind of have a thing for little people.  For the record, I felt this way long before we knew who Chelsea Handler was.  Needless to say, I love St Patrick’s Day.  Just blame to many years spent in Chicago . . .

St Patrick’s Day weddings have a great built in color scheme that works so well when the Colorado Mountains are covered in snow.  Bright green hydrangeas, maidenhair fern and Bells of Ireland are all great (and affordable) readily available lush greens.  Accents of gold (like the bunting featured above, sparkly linens or gold chargers) are a gorgeous way to add a little sparkle to a rustic ranch affair.

And green signature drinks are fun!  But please drink responsibly  . . .and remember that the photos live forever icon wink St Patricks Day Wedding Inspiration
