Real Wedding: Aspen, Colorado

Meredith and Kyle were married this fall in a vintage chic inspired wedding in Aspen, Colorado. I absolutely adore Meredith's dress, and the all white candy bar is gorgeous. The groom's cake is made to look like a ski hill, which is such a cute idea. Thanks to Jason G for the images - you can see more from Meredith & Kyle's wedding on Jason's blog!

The Sweetest Occasion

I am dreadfully behind on writing about this, but better late than never! The very talented Cyd recently relaunched her blog, The Sweetest Occasion. Not only is the blog beautiful, but Cyd is writing a "Puppy Love" series about dogs being included in weddings and was nice enough to write about our little Lola! You can see the entire post here, and be sure to check out her gorgeous blog while you're there.

Oh, Vera...

I just adore these dresses from the Vera Wang spring collection. The top left dress is my absolute favorite (also available in ivory and white), but they are all so ethereal and lovely. Don't you love them? Which one is your favorite?

Quick Palette: Dusty Rose

Maybe one of my new favorite color combinations! It would be perfect for a garden wedding or even a bridal shower. Hope you all have a lovely weekend! {Image from A Creative Mint}

The Dress

Maybe one of the most beautiful dress images I've ever seen, from the ever talented Elizabeth Messina.

Real Wedding: Breckenridge, Colorado

This gorgeous Colorado wedding was shot by Jason Grubb, and since he always does such a great job of describing the day himself I will just leave it up to him. But I do have to say - that image of the bride's train on the pier? Maybe one of my all time favorites! From Jason:

Okay, so honestly, we love Kurt and Jenny. After our initial meeting at Cru, we had to keep ourselves from texting, facebooking, or calling them to tell them how awesome we though they were… basically we had to not stalk our potential clients. Turns out, the feeling was mutual- they loved us too! Yeah! (however you don’t know how serious it was- we almost recorded a video to send to them. What in the world is wrong with us?)

Kurt and Jenny decided to do a first look at Sapphire Point overlooking Lake Dillon. Snow was lightly falling, they climbed up on the ledge and we were able to capture some amazing moments! They had an 8 guest total wedding and held their ceremony in a pavilion on Lake Dillon. It was beautiful, intimate, emotional… the day turned out exactly how they envisioned it. They included us in a fantastic dinner at Spencer’s Steak and Spirits. Despite the crazy weather changes (there were many), their day was surprisingly stress-free and peaceful!

Thanks, Jason! You can see more pictures from Kurt and Jenny's wedding on his blog.
