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!

Molly + Kevin’s wedding day was the perfect combination of rustic elegance and off-beat details.  We love when a couple really makes their celebration unique to their relationship!  No choice shined brighter than Molly’s stunning navy blue, floral print gown…who says white is a bride’s only option?!  We loved that this dress highlighted her playful personality and how the bright, summer-inspired floral palette complemented the embroidery so perfectly!

Jessica + Jason | Moss Wedding | Denver, CO

| purplesummerevents

It’s possible there are too many favorite details from Jessica + Jason’s wedding to properly share them all!  This beautiful celebration included so many personalized details: a funfetti cake with cereal milk frosting and fruity pebbles, a Pantone-inspired escort card display as a nod to the groom’s job selecting pharmaceutical coloring, and a playful and moody design featuring moss, ferns, and succulents.  Our favorite part of the day was the moment we caught the bride and groom sneaking a selfie as they waited for their ride to the after party, soaking in that final memory of the evening.  These two are such special people…it’s our favorite when clients turn into friends and we’re so happy that this was the case with these two!

Brooke + Jim | Devil’s Thumb Ranch Wedding | Tabernash, CO

| purplesummerevents

It was so fun to design this colorful winter wedding at Devil’s Thumb Ranch!  We kept the intimate ceremony in the Timber House more traditional with lush ivory blooms + trailing greens and then amped things up for the reception with deep maroons, bright pinks, and glam gold.  It was such a fun surprise for guests and really helped differentiate the celebration spaces.  We love looking through these photos and reliving this gorgeous day!

Denise + Marty | Devil’s Thumb Ranch Wedding | Tabernash, CO

| purplesummerevents

We couldn’t be more thrilled that our 2019 season started off with the intimate winter wedding of this lovely couple!  There is nothing quite like celebrating your marriage on a magical, snowy day in the mountains, cozied up in front of a roaring fireplace and sipping hot cocoa.  With only 40 guests in attendance, it was important to make the Broad Axe Barn at Devil’s Thumb Ranch feel full despite the small guest count, and one long community table did the trick!  Modern + classic details rounded out the design, including a neutral color palette, wintry furs, rustic wood accents to complement the mountain lodge setting, and chic acrylic drink stirrers that doubled as escort cards!  DeniseandMarty-30 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!

Amalia + Sam | Blackstone Rivers Ranch Wedding | Idaho Springs, CO

| purplesummerevents

Amalia + Sam’s wedding day occurred on the night of a meteor shower.  They encouraged guests to lounge on a viewing deck under the stars to enjoy nature’s magic, but this couple has a magic all their own — a magnetism, a deep kindness — so most guests found it difficult to pull themselves away from the party.  And what a party it was!  These guests had stamina!  When we look back on our 2018 season, many weddings stand out for different reasons, but this is the one that resonates in our hearts — the one that makes us believe in love…and in people.  Amalia + Sam, you are a gift.  Thank you for leaving your fingerprints on our world. A+S-86 Continue reading →

Silver + Matt | Lyons Farmette Wedding | Lyons, CO

| purplesummerevents

Silver + Matt’s wedding day started with a hail storm, but we were still able to hold a beautiful and sunny outdoor ceremony a few hours later.  Proof that Colorado weather is truly unpredictable minute to minute.  With sweet details to share with their guests and pizza + cupcakes for dinner, everyone was more than happy to brave the weather to help these two celebrate!  Our favorite details were the topographical maps that the groom + groomsmen wore (marking the spot where the groom proposed) and an epic watercolor display of the cupcake varieties available for dessert!austyn-elizabeth-SMH769 Continue reading →
