Ten Peaks Wedding Dance Floor Installation

As with most of Crested Butte’s wedding venues, Ten Peaks certainly is easy on the eyes. Guests often walk off the shuttle and instantly want photos taken of them and their close family with the towering peak of Crested Butte in the backdrop. Callie and Logan’s wedding began with a cloudy sky, rain showers and everything cleared 30 minutes before the ceremony began.

The couple focused on a natural yet polished look. During the ceremony, guests sat in cross-back chairs. A traditional arch was swapped with a low, horseshoe-shaped floral arrangement circling around the couple and their wedding party during the ceremony. This tied in the white, peach and yellow floral color pallet yet did not black the views of Gothic Mountain.

For the cocktail hour, guests took in the views from the deck of the Umbrella Bar where yard games were found.

Long wood farm tables were brought in for the head table. The natural wood planed well off the gray and gold flatware and soft green napkins. All other guests were seated at round tables that were covered in soft green linen to match the napkins. Delicate floral arrangements and votive candles acted as centerpieces.

As a warm welcome into the reception tent, the tent entrance was adorned with a floral installation, drapery and a cluster of white lanterns.

My favorite design element was an installation over the dance floor. We were aiming for a combination of garden flowers, organic and forged greenery and clusters of eclectic chandeliers. The install consisted of hardware hidden by drapery and lots of love by Dahlia Florals.

Crested Butte Mountain Top Wedding

Talk about amazing views. This bride’s parents own a home on Red Mountian Ranch in Crested Butte. All guests were shuttled up for a Crested Butte mountain wedding ceremony. Following that, a cocktail hour and reception were hosted at the Club at Crested Butte.

The design focus was large, eye-catching pieces and installations. Therefore, the ceremony arch was intentional but not over the top to take away from the breathtaking view for this Crested Butte mountain top wedding. Every other chair had a portion of a bible verse. And white flowers popped against the striking green and blue backdrop.

Over at the Club, the dance floor installation was nothing less than amazing. Guests walked to a simple yet impactful pacesetting. Continued themes, such as the wax seal, were continued throughout the decor. Once the dance party began, guests danced under a net of greenery and lush white florals.

Mountain Elegant Wedding with a Donkey

This day can be summed up with mountain elegant wedding that meets bright florals and a surprise guest! The bride and groom invited their closest 30 family and friends for an intimate gathering at the Mountain Wedding Garden.

We focused on keeping the pallet clean and white. To accent, this simple pallet, pinks, and golds were brought in. Therefore, gold flatware and gold chargers were used while being paired with the prettiest floral print napkin. Each place setting had a pink water goblet. Because the couple missed their pup, a custom drawing of the dog was made and put on to custom gold foil cocktail napkins. And then Dirty Girl arrived, surprise guest to everyone (but the couple!). The florist even made a flower crown for the wedding donkey. This mountain elegant wedding was one for the books.

Funky Ten Shades of Pink Wedding

Leading up to this wedding, every single person I told about this pink wedding, said: “Dang, how did that bride convince the groom to go with an all-pink wedding.” Needless to say, they couldn’t comprehend the epicness of this “pink wedding”. I was given the go-ahead to bring every shade of pink into the color pallet with black and gold accents. Come day-of, I could not be happier about how it turned out!

A boho vibe mixed with big bright flowers and tons of turquoise was the best way to get across their personalities. Which is fun-loving adventure-seekers.

Signage had to be cozy but bold and decor items we were drawn from natural elements including hand-woven willow branch installations.

These guys wanted to BBQ so red and white plastic bibs were brought out for the guests so they could keep their dancing clothes fresh.

The real showstopper was the dinner tables. Each was covered in lush greenery, an assortment of brass candle holders, and table “numbers” were named after their favorite National Parks.

Think secret garden meets night sky. There were soft elements complimented with bold colors.

The showstopper was the head table. Wood farm tables were covered in moss and accented with an assortment of bud vases filled with ferns and blooms. The wood wall behind the head table was covered in greenery.

A whimsical and delicate feel was achieved by using big lush blooms throughout both the ceremony and reception. Maroon touches were used to provide contrast, and the subtle yellowy, blush tones were introduced to achieve a beautiful flow throughout the space.

The stunning palette was inspired by the existing nature surrounding Ten Peaks. Amazing aspen trees line the drive to the ceremony site and upon our first visit, I knew pairing greenery with soft pinks and white would be a beautiful combination.

Their 10′ circle insulation dripping with florals over the dance floor was their feature piece.

Mid-October was the perfect time in Aspen to share the stunning views of the Maroon Bells and golden leaves with C+B’s 175 guests. A jewel-toned color palette was chosen to complement the fall colors. Handwoven mats were used as runners to connect the Western space. Pressed flowers were used sporadically through decor to tie in the cold temperatures of fall.

Natalie + Patrick

As Crested Butte locals, this couple escaped mud season in mid-April and headed for the beaches of Mexico. Natalie and Patrick’s focus was spending quality time with their closest friends and family all while soaking up the warm weather.

Wedding guests flew into Cancún and traveled an hour south to Akumal. Guests explored caves the day before the wedding and swam in cenotes. Come wedding day, all guests were poolside until 2 hours before the wedding. Beach themed elements were found throughout the wedding; from palm leaves with modern calligraphy “Bride” and “Groom” to coral. During cocktail hour, guests were surprised with a mariachi band! Following dinner, guests moved into the poolside cabana which quickly lead to a dance party in the pool.
