Ceremony on the Golf Course

Photography by IlluminArts Photography

From the bride, Crystal:
Our ceremony was held on the lawn of the golf course at the (private) Glacier Golf Club in Durango Colorado.  We had 200 of our closest family and friends there to celebrate our special day.  The highlight of the day was walking down the grassy aisle towards beautiful mountains and seeing my future husband waiting for me at the end of the aisle. Our baby Tucker (dog) stood by our side during the vows.

I absolutely loved my bouquet from April’s Garden!

MEMORABLE MOMENT - My dad sang ‘Butterfly Kisses’.

Perfect Paisley at Silver Mountain Guest Ranch

From the bride, Kerry:
Our wedding was held at Silver Mountain Guest Ranch. The ceremony was short and sweet just like we wanted, but long enough for a bridal party of twenty to get down the aisle. The lighting was perfect and we couldn’t have asked for a better day or place, especially with the pond in the background and Silver Mountain shadowing our day.
Our reception was held on the ranch in the large, log awning which was absolutely beautiful and housed a wonderful dinner as well as a great dance floor.  We danced our first dance to “I Do” by Mark Wills, then our band tore it up as guests had their share of great country dancing.
We made our centerpieces, on top of bandanna wrapped posts, with the help of my family! We also mixed up the table décor by alternating brown tablecloths with blue runners and vice versa as well as using
different table sizes. Some tables were tall cabarets and others were large eight seaters.

MEMORABLE MOMENT
My three older sisters put on a hilarious dance skit.

LOOKING BACK
I wished we would have hired a “day of” planner just to keep things on track.

An Autumn Romance

Photography by Allison Ragsdale Photography

From the bride, Amber:
Our inspiration was Fall in the country.  Our color palette was chocolate brown, ivory, green and yellow. I tried very hard to personalize every aspect of my wedding by having lots of handmade items.  This not only cut down on costs, but also included family and created a wonderful personal feel for our special day.  For example, my aunt handmade every single escort card; each card had green and brown papers with a twig and ribbon.

Our wedding took place at Ridgewood Event Center.  The location was absolutely perfect; it had a barn-like building for our fall theme and a breathtaking view. Our outdoor ceremony was amazing; we were even fortunate enough to have the first snow of the season on the La Plata’s!
We had the first few dances outside on the lawn at dusk.  Our song was “Lucky” by Jason Mraz and Colbie Calliat.

FAVORITE DETAIL
My ‘something blue’  was a small blue heart that my mom sewed on the inside of my dress. It had a special message for me on it.
