Our latest window display would be fantastic for a New Year’s Eve or holiday wedding in Colorado.  

We designed the table above for our StudioWed Denver window display for the holiday season.   By using a chandelier motif, feathers, silver bulbs, rhinestone buckles and a touch of fuchsia, we create a very fun table-scape that works great for a New Years Eve wedding or party in Colorado.  The fantastic stationery was created by Julie at JS Design Custom.  The gorgeous cake was designed by Rachael at Intricate Icings.  Thank you to Premium Digital Solutions for the great images.

 You can also see this table design and holiday party design tips featured on the Knot.com Colorado wedding blog!  If you are planning your wedding and looking for our favorite vendors, stop by StudioWed for incredible inspiration, vendors and design ideas.

Aside from the fabulous flowers, great food and other wedding details, we don’t want to forget one of the most important aspects of the wedding, the marriage license.

A Colorado marriage license may be issued in any county and used in any county in the State of Colorado. However, the license must be used within 30 days from the date of issue. The license is issued the day it is applied for and may be used immediately. The fee for a marriage license is $30 and must be paid with cash.

Both male and female applicants must appear in person to complete and sign the marriage application. If one party cannot appear due to illness, is out of state, or incarcerated, he or she must obtain an ABSENTEE APPLICATION from the Clerk and Recorder’s office. The party applying must bring the absentee application along with identification for the absent party. Applicants need not be residents of Colorado. ABSENTEE APPLICATIONS MUST BE NOTARIZED.

If either party has finalized a divorce within 30 days of applying for the marriage license, the final decree must be produced. This decree must be signed by the judge or court referee. If the divorce has been final more than 30 days, divorce information must be given regarding date of divorce, place of divorce and court in which the divorce was finalized.

A marriage may be solemnized by a judge of a court of record, a public official whose powers include solemnization of marriages, or in accordance with any mode of solemnization recognized by any religious denomination or Indian nation or tribe. As of August 1993, a couple can solemnize their own marriage without any type of officiant. That’s right, you can perform your own wedding ceremony without an officiant in Colorado and it is legal. You can read more about wedding and marriage license requirements on the City of Denver website.

“All of my unconscious fears were in my face about letting go of the current identity. A lot of the thoughts that came up were fear-based and false, so I had to work to let them go.” – Alanis Morissette from her Interview

Alanis Morissette, as millions of fans well-know, is a most extraordinary musician and human being. She possesses that rare combination of strength and humility that allows her songs to shine the light of consciousness and offer a lifeline of hope without being dogmatic. Her commitment to her personal growth is evident; her commitment to the healing of the planet is inspiring. And for her, there’s no difference between the two, as she says in the interview: “Evolution and the growth of love are synonymous.”

The core of my work with transitions is about helping people heal the fear voices and faulty beliefs that interfere with their ability to evolve in love. We live in a culture that tries to sidestep or deny the inexorable presence of change. We move quickly, talk quickly, work quickly, and keep busy to avoid to grief, fear, disorientation, and loneliness that live inside every conscious life transition. For in order to step into the new life – whether it’s a new city, a new job, a marriage, parenthood, or retirement – we must be willing to let go of the old lifestyle and identity. Alanis speaks to this process in the above quote, as well as in many of her songs. The dovetailing of her work and mine will be the topics of the next seven posts.  You can read the read of the post  and listen to my interview with Alanis Morrisette at Conscious Wedding Blog.
