Summer Mountain Wedding In Colorado

Getting married on a mountain top among soft clouds and blue skies has to feel like a dream. Here’s a romantic and sophisticated wedding that is elevated in almost every sense of the word — Beaver Creek, Louboutins, and a stunning Ulla-Maija. Take a peek at the beauty captured by Urban Safari Photography.What was one of your favorite moments of the day? “My favorite part of the day was seeing Brett for our first look and then spending 15 minutes together riding the lift down to start the ceremony. It was so special to take in all of the beauty of the mountains and see my handsome groom. We are avid skiers, so it is always so wonderful to take in the majestic mountains in the summer time. I had a few nerves but being with Brett helped calm these, and then I was ready to say our vows and celebrate. We also ate dinner together at the bridal table while our guests were at cocktail hour. It was so nice to be able to eat the wonderful food and enjoy those moments alone! I highly recommend this to other brides because the night flies by, and you can easily forget to eat!”

What was your favorite thing to design or plan? “Lori Harding at Beaver Creek Lodge is fantastic! She encouraged us to design our menu for the evening. This was so much fun to sit with Brett and brainstorm about our favorite things. Once we went up for a quick getaway weekend and had the tasting, I couldn’t have been more excited for our big day. We incorporated all of our favorite things and, of course, a beef tenderloin for my dad! The second thing would be picking out or flowers and designing the centerpieces with Loretta. If you know me well, you know I always have fresh flowers in my house, so I wanted this to be something special! They all turned out spectacular!”

If you could give one piece of advice to other brides + grooms planning their wedding, what would it be? “First determine the things that are important to you and your fiance. Focus on those things throughout the wedding process and try not get wrapped up in other people’s opinions. Always remember this is a special time, and you’re only engaged once, so try not to get bogged down with the chaos of the planning. Focus on the fun things! Lean on your friends who have recently gone through the process of planning a wedding. This will save a tremendous amount of time in terms of hiring vendors. Most importantly be patient and have fun!”
