All of the lace doilies on the reception tables were hand made by the bride’s great grandmother. The antique ball jars were collected by the bride’s aunt Judy from garage sales, antique stores, and church rummage sales and transported from Michigan to Colorado.

This mountain chic destination wedding in Keystone was filled with winter themed details. Their outdoor ceremony had a beautiful view of snow covered pine trees and mountains. The reception followed where guests enjoyed dinner, dancing and a chocolate & scotch bar tasting bar.

One of the most elegant mountain weddings I have seen pass through my inbox. The bride and groom rode in on horse back to the ceremony. The lush green florals paired with the deep purple linens and the gold decor created an enchanting and romantic ambience. Event Design by one of our fabulous LISTmembers:

Notes from the bride: From the time Jeff and I were engaged, we knew we wanted a smaller wedding with our closest family and friends in the Colorado mountains. We both grew up in Colorado and wanted the day to reflect us as a couple. We searched so many venues and fell in love with Taharaa Mountin Lodge in Estes Park. We loved everything from the breathtaking views to the antler chandeliers, it was perfect. After the venue was decided I knew I wanted to incorporate lots of DIY details. The”Mr.” and “Mrs.” signs on our chairs as well as the “I Do’s, We Did” sign were particularly special. The wood was from an old country barn and my mom hand painted the letters. We also hand painted the table numbers and escort cards. The whole day was made perfect by our incredible vendors and we feel so lucky to have had such an amazing day surrounded by the love of our family and friends.

I am thrilled to announce that anna bé {LISTmember} is holding a new series of events called Summer Sessions. Summer Sessions is a series of trunk shows featuring guest bridal designers from around the U.S. These designers have a great price point and over-all different aesthetic than brides can currently find in Colorado, a bit more Indie, if you will
Their next event is coming up on June 14-15: Elizabeth Dye {portland, or designer features thoughtful details and unique trim}
Portland based designer Elizabeth Dye’s collection of soft, feminine gowns are the essence of craftsmanship. All of the gowns are produced locally to Portland and feature thoughtful details and unique trims. As a small designer, Dye has been very selective about where her gowns can be found and Anna Be is so thrilled to be chosen for her Denver Debut. Don’t miss your chance to play with these romantic beguiling beauties.

From the Event Designer, Sarina Fields of Haute Event Studio:
It all started with a song…
Some consider me an old soul; totally obsessed with old Hollywood, black and white movies and timeless music; while others know me as a sometimes quirky but full time romantic. And then, back in 1950, many years before I was born, a song (one of my favorites) was recorded by the late great Nat King Cole (also one of my favorites) that “married” two of my favorite things: classic music and romance.
“Orange colored, purple striped, pretty green polka-dot sky”…my color inspiration for the style shoot! How serendipitous is that? My color scheme is the lyrics to the song! So there you have it, orange, purple and green.
“One look and I yelled timber” (more lyrics). This line set the stage for the location. This shoot had to take place where there was an abundance of trees and what better place than in the mountains?
I wanted to capture the simplicity of the song and allow the colors to be the main focus, so I opted for a no-fuss picnic wedding.
A laid back dessert table made the “reception” even sweeter.
Who needs a wedding cake when you have cupcakes topped with orange slices…need I say more?
What is a reception without favors, right? Homemade orange marmalade in mini glass jars tied with “orange”, “purple striped” and “green polka-dot” ribbon. There are those lyrics again!
Zen the Pug stood in for his best friend as the best man.
A musically inspired shoot, called for a guitar of course. Our groom is a musician, so this tied in nicely.
