We were absolutely in love with this wedding from start to
finish. An incredible couple and family
and spectacular celebration!
The amazing three venue wedding started out at Audrey’s
family ranch in Berthoud, Colorado.
A romantic ceremony tent was created for the “I Do’s”. After the
beautiful ceremony, the guests enjoyed cocktails around the pool as a string
quartet played. The guests were then shuttled into Boulder to the gorgeous St Julien Hotel,
where another amazing tent was created for the reception dinner. When
dining and cake cutting concluded the guests walked a short distance into the
hotel, where the ballroom had been transformed into a chic lounge for
dancing. The “Crazy Love Lounge” was named after Audrey & Troy’s
first dance song. This was truly a stunning event that we were honored to
be a part of. Happy Anniversary Audrey
& Troy!
From the bride…..
My husband and I are high school
sweethearts and have dreamed of saying “I Do” for as long as I can remember. We
both grew up in the same town and spent many years of our relationship around
our close friends and family, and we couldn’t have imagined it any other way!
Flash forward almost 6 years later and Troy
was knocking on my parents door, engagement ring in hand, to ask my father for
my hand in marriage.
When it came time to plan our
wedding, we knew we wanted it to be a celebration that our family and friends
would remember forever. Our first quest in planning our dream wedding was
choosing the right venue. After flipping through countless magazines and
websites, my dad presented the idea of having the wedding at our home- a 300
acre ranch nestled in the quant town of Berthoud,
Colorado. Troy and I instantly fell
in love with the idea! Troy
asked me to be his girlfriend in the front driveway of my home, and we were
thrilled at the thought of creating our first memories as husband and wife
there.
Once we chose the venue, we knew
we needed a team of professionals to make our vision of a fairytale wedding
come to life. We were so blessed to have met our wedding coordinator, Kathy
Vaughan, of A Beautiful Memory and the amazing vendors she works with. Kathy
was a dream come true. She knew exactly what we wanted to make our fairytale
wedding come to life-- and exceeded our wildest expectations!!
My favorite aspect of planning the
wedding was designing three unique locations for the ceremony, reception, and
dancing. We began the evening with a romantic ceremony at my home. Pale pinks
and cream roses transformed our backyard into the most breathtaking ceremony I
have ever seen. Exchanging our wedding vows in front of family and friends at my
home was a dream come true in itself. Pair that with an aisle covered in fresh
rose petals, a live string quartet, and an alter draped in thousands of fresh
roses, and we were living in a fairytale.
After the ceremony, our guests
were shuttled to the St Julien Hotel in Boulder
to kick off the second round of celebrations. We wanted to bring in dramatic
red accents and rich tones to the reception tent to reflect the love Troy and I share with our
family and friends. It was important to us that the reception was a place for
our guests to truly enjoy themselves and celebrate with one another.
After dinner, our guests were led
into our third and final location- the “Crazy Love” lounge. Troy
and I danced to our first song, “Crazy Love” by Van Morrison, that was played
to perfection by our band, Tunisia. Our guests loved the
energy of the live band, and even got to mix it up with top 40 songs from the
dj. I loved the ambiance in this room- I truly felt like we were in a chic
club, dancing the night away with friends and family!
Our wedding was magical and we
feel so blessed to have worked with such an incredible team of vendors. We
cherished each and every aspect of our wedding and couldn’t have imagined
spending our first day as husband and wife any other way!
