A Garden Love Affair

Highlands Ranch Mansion is a dream venue for any bride looking to relive her 5 year old wedding day fantasies. We came together with Ali & Garrett Photography, Park Floral Design, and other amazing vendors to create this modern fairytale. 

Bright pops of color in the florals and vintage rentals from House of Yonder brought the tangy, fun, spring elements. We absolutely adored working with Ashley Swapp from Park Floral Design. Her creations are unbelievably stunning. 

Organic, vintage with a modern twist, romantic, farm-to-table, and bright pops of color were the driving factors behind the styling of this shoot. Given the main themes, the vendors were then asked to interpret and create their own vision. After all, we LOVE seeing what people create when they are given the freedom to do so. We could have not been happier with the way our vision was brought to life. A huge thank you to the talented Ali Brannan of Ali & Garrett Photography. The way the light is captured in these oh so romantic photos warms our hearts.

Christian + Cody

This was a wedding week for the record books!

Christian and Cody planned a week in paradise with 150 of their closest friends and family. We were lucky enough to be included in the adventure. The wedding week was held in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. We spent 5 days in absolute paradise at an all-inclusive resort. The itinerary was packed full with bachelor/bachelorette festivities, beach days, a Mexican fiesta welcome party, a small intimate rehearsal dinner at a local fish shack, and a remarkably beautiful ceremony on the beaches of Mexico. Seeing that it was November and most of the guests are from Colorado, it was an amazing escape to the tropics to celebrate the love of two amazing people.

PS we are also lucky enough to call Christian and Cody friends. 

The ceremony was held on the beautiful white sand beach, where all the guests said cheers to the bride and groom with champagne following the "I dos". After the ceremony the guests were escorted to the top terrace of the resort for cocktail hour where a mariachi band played traditional mariachi music. Following cocktail hour was a formal sit down dinner and dance party. This wedding was absolutely breathtaking and we are so happy we were included. 

If you are planning a destination wedding, think about including LBW, we love to travel.
