Mindy and Dan went back and forth about having a small, intimate, ceremony in Italy or keeping it close by and staying in Denver. But, they wanted to be able to have all of their friends and family close by and choose to have a backyard wedding at a close friends house with an italian twist, including a gelato bar at the end of the night instead of a traditional wedding cake. There was amazing Italian inspiration in this wedding. The wine cork escort holders,  grapes hanging from the chairs, purple and green filled bouquet, wine bottle centerpieces and the table names were all named after cities in Italy they intended to visit on their honeymoon!

Mindy and Dan opted for a first look.  They hugged, kissed, hugged some more.  They enjoyed a little privacy, a moment to be together alone, before the craziness of the day began.  Revert Photo then did a few photos of them together, before the bridal party met up with them.  After the ceremony, Mindy and Dan decided to head over the trampoline and get one really amazing photo! Immediately after cocktail hour, while everyone was finding their seats, there was one of the most amazing Colorado sunsets!

Thank you to Revert Photo, Colorado wedding photographers, for sharing these outstanding images!

Tarin and Mike are very active and wanted their engagement photos to reflect that.  To start of their fun filled engagement shoot, they headed up Loveland Pass and later they headed to Keystone for some ski action shots. They are having an Estes Park wedding in September at Della Terra Mountain Chateau.

A big thank you to This Modern Life Photographers for sharing these gorgeous skiing inspired engagement photos! Kevin and Jessica from This Modern Life Photographers are Denver area wedding photographers who work throughout the state of Colorado.

 Katherine and Frank’s wedding at The Ritz Carlton, Denver was orchestrated beautifully by Angie Johnston with Sapphire Celebrations. The ceremony was sweet and romantic with a surprise, “Love Actually”, ending for Frank. Katherine had a gospel choir sing “All You Need is Love” during the recessional, bringing the life-long Beatles fan to tears. Their afternoon ceremony was followed by a total throw-down of a reception. It was like you see in the movies- parties never seem as fun as they are in movies – this one was!  Their band, Funkiphino, was on fire (if you haven’t heard of these guys, you need to check them out) and the party was awesome. The live music filled the ballroom with an energy that was hard to resist.

Thank you to Colorado Wedding Photographers: Jason+Gina  for sharing these wonderful pictures!

August 28, 2010~ Abby and Darren

On a beautiful late summer afternoon at the Boettcher Mansion, Plum Sage Flowers had the pleasure of joining forces with This Modern Life Photography and Pink Monkey Solutionsto create the elegant yet, rustic wedding for Abby and Darren. Their day was filled with rustic elements; lanterns, branches, birch centerpiece containers and a truck-load of birch “props”, most which Abby’s Dad made by hand and drove out to Colorado from Wisconsin. To help offset some of the rustic décor, soft and modern touches were added, including ivory draping, romantic candlelight and ice vases filled with Phalaenopsis orchids (ice vases/sculptures provided by Michael at Colorado Ice Sculptures).  Abby’s bouquet consisted of phalaenopsis, cymbidium, mokara and dendrobium orchids with garden rose accents and her bridesmaids carried coordinating orchid blooms.  Centerpiece arrangements filled with hydrangea, roses, several different kinds of orchids and curly willow accents added color and a little romance to the already beautiful Boettcher Mansion. With all of the personal touches and attention to detail that went into making Abby and Darren’s wedding so memorable, it is certainly one that will be hard to forget.
