Shelby & Brenton | DENVER, COLORADO

Did you hear?! Pantone just released the 2019 color of the year and it’s Living Coral! According to Pantone.com this gorgeous tone is “An animating and life-affirming coral hue with a golden undertone that energizes and enlivens with a softer edge.”

We love this beautiful, bright color and couldn’t help but recall a number of fabulous events we’ve designed inspired this color. This Spring wedding of Shelby & Brenton this past May was far ahead of the trend and featured this beautiful color in a variety of ways. We’re thrilled to share this beautiful day filled with so much love, and lots and lots of yummy c o r a l details!

One of the biggest regrets we hear from couples  after the big day is that they didn't hire a videographer.  We understand how the day flies by in a flash, and love to recommend a great cinematography team to help tell the tale of the day!

Going through the archives & flashing back to one of our favorite weddings for one of our favorite couples!  Check out our very own Event Designer, Meredith's big day, so eloquently documented in this special video!

organic mountain wedding | TABERNASH, COLORADO

There are a few locations and venues in Colorado that never get old.  The natural beauty (year round) and hospitality keep us coming back again and again.  Devil's Thumb Ranch is one of those venues- it's simply incredible!  Tara & Dale had been guests at a few weddings we had planned for friends of theirs throughout the past few years, so when it came time to plan their wedding, at the ever fabulous Devil's Thumb, we were beyond excited to finally work with these two and help bring their wedding vision to life!  In such a spectacular setting as this, we knew we wanted an organic approach to highlight what was already there - lots of whites and greenery created a lush, natural feel without distracting from the striking mountain views and Colorado architecture. Combined with special personal touches, I am SO in love with how it came together!

While this job is not always easy, it DOES come with a lot of perks!  Traveling to fabulous destinations to celebrate love is a big work perk for which we are so grateful!  We are lucky to take on a few destination weddings each year, so when Jenni & Cody contacted us to help tell their love story and create a three day event for 100 of their closest friends and family at the brand new JW Marriott Los Cabos, we said "Si!", and packed our bags to head to magical Mexico.  Working with Jenni & Cody through the entire process was an absolute blast.  These two are ridiculously hilarious, super lively & fun, and SO loved by the most warm and genuine friends and family they share together.  This wedding was unlike any other: the bridal party danced down the aisle, the groom surprised the bride with their favorite show tune, and all of the guests joined in song after I DO. We were all just singing and dancing and basking in their love and joy! Being a part of this destination celebration was a career highlight, and one we'll never forget!

These two are one of the most crazy in love couples we've EVER seen. Seriously.  Their adoration and love for each other is contagious, they're consistently beaming, while in their presence, you can't help but bask in their joy, and giggle right along with them!  Paired with a fabulous vision, and great taste, needless to say, working with Hailey & Michael planning their dream day was incredible, and every moment was filled with laughter, fun, and lots and lots of LOVE.

Our job is always fun, but Lindsay & David are one of the most fun-loving, couples we have ever had the pleasure of working with!  With David's career in the car dealership world, he has always worked Saturdays, so since their courtship, their special fun day together has always been Sundays.

While we're wedding obsessed, we also love planning non-profit events, corporate affairs, AND over-the-top social gatherings!  When we were approached to plan this special 50th bday party, we jumped at the opportunity to infuse some of the guest of honor's favorite things into an elegant celebration for 50 of his closest friends and family to enjoy.

This eclectic wedding came together so beautifully, we love this couple and all of the special details Amanda & Will incorporated into their special day!  With a beautiful venue like Denver's Blanc, a blank canvas, it was fun to pull in so much color and texture to really add to the guest experience and liven up the space!  One of our favorite photographers, Daylene Wilson, captured these two and their day so eloquently, we adore how these images turned out!

From the moment we met Katie and Shaemus, we were immediately impressed. This Denver power couple is not only strikingly beautiful, but stylish, cool, and crazy in love to boot! We instantly fell for their colorful personalities, balanced by a certain soft, sentimental side, and were inspired to design a wedding that reflected this modern couple.

We knew we wanted a place as hip as the bride and groom, so we opted for a non-traditional wedding venue—City Hall, a Downtown Denver night club, which features a retractable roof, graffiti wall, and built in stage (which is perfect for a band and a great dance party).

We were so honored to work with this wonderful couple to design a bohemian barn wedding chock-full of sophisticated, personalized, and special sentimental details.  With a vendor dream team collaboration, we are so proud of the outcome and the way our vision so artfully came to live! We invite you to check out the stunning images (& video!) and fall in love with this detail-rich Colorado wedding and this darling couple... love, LOVE!

We have a serious love affair with winter weddings.  Living in colorful Colorado, weddings are gorgeous year-round, but there's just something so romantic about creating cozy celebrations in those cooler months!  

Since we don't get to plan as many snowy wonderland weddings as we'd like, we decided to curate a little style shoot to showcase a lovely bride & her maids in some gorgeous winter looks with some of our favorite vendors.  

We're proud of how this all came together, and thrilled to say this was just featured on Couture Colorado Weddings this week!  Check out more of the loveliness on their wonderful blog here.

It's always such a joy to see our work PUBLISHED!  It's beyond rewarding to gain recognition for our unique designs and creativity from those whom we respect in the industry.  So as you can imagine, we were over the moon to see our concept and design featured on one of our very favorite wedding blogs just last month!!!  

Please enjoy the beautiful goodness captured in some of our most favorite photos, and then head on over to Ruffled to check out the feature!   

From Ruffled:  This this real elopement has captured our hearts, and not just because Sophie and Andy are one of the most beautifully in love couples we’ve ever seen. Every element of their day was carefully thought out and brought to fruition by Danielle DeFiore Photography, Bello and Blue Events, and Somerset Design, with a brilliant color palette of orange, purple, and soft turquoise. If you’re thinking of eloping, this is a wonderful place to start for inspiration!

We really have the best gig in the world.  Like, seriously, we pinch ourselves daily that this is actually our job!  Working with D&D on both of their wedding celebrations was a dream.  First we planned one elegant, intimate ceremony & reception in a mountain-top estate in beautiful Breckenridge, Colorado (check out the deets on that one here!), THEN, we got to plan a fun and fabulous city reception in the heart of Downtown Denver at the amazing  Union Station- what a treat! 

To maintain some continuity, for both events we stuck with a color palette that the bride loved. Inspired by orange calla lilies (given to her by her groom through the course of their courtship), we paired an unexpected rich purple, complemented by black, white, and touches of gold. It looked awesome and unique in both spaces and while different, we absolutely loved both celebrations!

When they first came to me, D&D wanted to plan not one, but TWO wonderful celebrations. First, an intimate affair with 50 guests at a private estate in beautiful Breckenridge, CO. Followed by a fabulous, fun reception for 150 guests at Denver's coolest hotspot, Union Station.  (Psst, See more on that wonderful event here!)

This savvy bride works in the event industry, so she was clear on what she loved and didn't love from the beginning. To maintain some continuity, for both events we stuck with a unique color palette that the bride loved. Inspired by orange calla lilies (given to her by her groom through the course of their courtship), we paired an unexpected rich purple, complemented by black, white, and touches of gold. 

We embraced the mountain setting of this private estate and added touches of vintage and understated elegance to soften and elevate the feel of this Colorado setting.  One of many details to enhance the comfort and experience for guests at this spring mountain-top wedding, was luxurious faux fur blankets to cozy up for the outdoor ceremony, and later around the fire pit as guests enjoyed making s'mores.  It doesn't get much more Colorado than that!

Every once in a while I get the pleasure of being around couples who are so crazy in love it really gets me.  As a hopeless romantic, I live to know this kind of connection exists.  These two are so into each other, it's both a pleasure & a joy to be in their presence.  So it goes without saying, planning this classic, elegant Denver wedding for two love birds was the most fun ever!

For B & L's Denver wedding, we designed knowing we wanted to achieve a vibe of classic glamour & romance.  With personalized, fresh details woven throughout, and a contemporary spin on old hollywood, we curated this urban affair to feel fresh and intimate with just the perfect amount of glam. 

Complete with amazing food stations featuring the couple's favorite urban fare, paired with hand selected wines sourced from vineyards all over the world, guests enjoyed a delightful food & beverage experience before dancing the night away!

The fabulous Sarah Perkins so perfectly documented their love and their day.  Check out these beautiful images & fall in love!

As wedding season slows down, and summer comes to a close, it's fun to finally start appreciating the most gorgeous photos and memories we have acquired from this summer's successful events...  Get excited, lots more lovely to come! 

Today I'm very excited to share because this is one wedding that is very special to me.  I mean, honestly, they all are. In different ways. {& I'm really not just saying that.} Every one holds a place in my heart. I LOVE what I do!!  That said, there are a few couples for whom I feel exceptional gratitude.  Those who took a chance early on, hiring me right from the get-go, trusting me with every detail of their most special day based solely on a recco when my business was barely an infant.  

To M & M, and ALL of my loyal clients, I'm humbled and grateful that you picked me, and I would not be here if it weren't for brave souls like you taking the chance- THANK YOU!!!

I feel like I say this after each and every wedding, but I swear it's 100% true!  This couple is seriously amazing, and I loved every single second of working with them to create a beautiful eclectic urban wedding in May in our beloved Mile High City!  

While their love story began in New York City, and they currently reside in Manhattan, the bride is from Colorado, and the groom from Brazil, so these two decided to plan TWO weddings in both wonderful places!
