Denver wedding

Caroline + Joey | Skylight Wedding | Denver, CO

| purplesummerevents

This lovely bride wanted a Mediterranean-style celebration with ocean blues and bright, bougainvillea-inspired floral…which basically describes our ultimate design dream!  We had such fun putting this one together.  With a canopy of greenery, a statement entrance tunnel, modern acrylic signage, luscious charcuterie boards, and ocean blue watercolor accents, our goal was to make guests feel truly transported.

So…Are these models?  Fair question, but the answer is no!  Real couple goals right here!  Congratulations, Caroline + Joey!  We love you and couldn’t be happier for you as you begin this new journey into marriage!

Hannah + Jeff | Spruce Mountain Ranch Wedding | Larkspur, CO

| purplesummerevents

These two lovebirds had so much fun playing in the snow on their wedding day!  Wintry Colorado didn’t disappoint and this couple didn’t hesitate to take advantage.  Once guests were cozy indoors among the venue’s roaring fireplace, they enjoyed a delicious family-style meal and an ice luge!  Our favorite detail: the chocolate + peanut butter buckeye favors that guests took home — a nod to the couple’s Ohio roots!540_1 Continue reading →

Andrea + Mikey | Flying Diamond Ranch Wedding | Steamboat, CO

| purplesummerevents

We couldn’t be happier that Andrea + Mikey chose us to help them bring their romantic, mountain wedding to life!  We designed the reception tent to mimic the atmosphere of the cozy, intimate ceremony that took place in a nearby aspen grove.  These bouncy, lush florals and soft, airy paper goods truly took our breath away!  Our favorite details included a show-stopping, 5-tier, ruffly cake and a signature drink named after the couple’s sweet pup, Calvin.  Congratulations you two!  We wish we could relive this beautiful day again and again!

Michelle + Jamie | Moss | Denver, CO

| purplesummerevents

This incredible bride and groom planned everything with their guests in mind:  a stand-out dinner (laid-back Italian food, including chicken parmesan + garlic bread), an interactive photo booth complete with a floral backdrop + flower crowns for the ladies, multiple delicious dessert options (including a crepe cake + gelato), cheesy tater tots as a late night snack, and a dance party for the ages.  Okay, so most of those involved food, but what better way to a wedding guest’s heart?!  We will remember this day — and Michelle + Jamie’s smiles — quite literally *forever,* and we will never stop being thankful that they found us!  Cheers to clients turing into friends.  There’s nothing sweeter.Michelle_Jamie_481 Continue reading →

Bailey + Mark | University Club Wedding | Denver, CO

| purplesummerevents

We ended our 2016 season with Bailey + Mark’s winter wedding.  The high temperature for the day was one degree.  That’s right, one.  But, that didn’t stop these two from getting some killer outdoor photos + celebrating to the max!  Santa even made an appearance at their reception.  At the end of the night, as our team + the catering staff hustled to complete the day’s cleanup tasks, Bailey and Mark sat alone at one of the remaining reception tables.  They ate a cupcake together and chatted quietly about the day’s happenings, their favorite parts they hadn’t yet had the chance to discuss, and they watched as the space transformed from their wedding – full of beautiful wintry decor and people they love – to an empty room.  It’s one of the most endearing things we’ve ever seen a couple do.  We tried to shoo them off to an after party or the warmth of their home, but they wanted to stay and watch…for closure, they said.  And yet, it’s just the beginning.  Congrats, you two!  Thanks for ending our our season with such beauty!moriartybrideandgroom-94 Continue reading →
