Real Wedding: Lauren & Ethan

Lauren and Ethan’s wedding took place at one of the most spectacular ceremony sites in Colorado, Arrowhead Golf Club

The stunning mountain views were a picture perfect back drop to their personal, heartfelt wedding that focused on their love and celebrated family and friends.  While storms brought rain during our setup, almost as if on queue the clouds parted as the guests arrived.  The ceremony took place on one of Arrowhead’s gorgeous lawns as the sun began to set.

Lori from Statice Floral did a wonderful job with the garden-inspired mix of coordinated flowers.  Each aisle was adorned with a jar of assorted flowers that delicately added a touch of color, without taking away from the incredible views.
After the ceremony concluded the guests enjoyed cocktails on the patio before entering the reception.  Lauren and Ethan love to travel so they tied in this theme to each of there tables – a fun personal touch.  Their table cards were pictures of the two of them on their journeys and the tables were named for each of these places. 
The escort cards were miniature postcards with the guest’s name and the name and photo of the table where they were seated.
At each place setting Hazel Thornley, from Inky Fingers Calligraphy, beautifully created a hand painted menu card, each with a different flower.  This detail enhanced the charming table décor.
Arrowhead staff served a delicious plated dinner.  The yummy cake just had to come from Child’s Pastry Shop.  Lauren has always been a fan of their frosting!  After dinner EVERYONE enjoyed dancing to music by A Music Plus.  The DJ did a fantastic job playing songs the whole crowd loved.
When guests needed a break from dancing they had their pictures taken in Magnolia Photo Booth Co.’s photo booth.  The props were a huge hit!
Lauren and Ethan’s gift table held a small suitcase which they used for their cards, surrounded by wedding pictures of their families.  It was a beautiful way to honor their parents and grandparents.  The guests loved to look at these treasured family moments.
Julia Timmer Photography and Mares Video Productions did a phenomenal job of capturing every moment of the wedding. 

What a special event this was!
