Notes from Bride and Planner, Jordan Casinelli of Long Ago Love Vintage Rentals & Event Planning {LISTmember}:
Our wedding was all about our love for living in Colorado--because many loved ones were coming from out of state to help celebrate the day, the focus was to share the beauty that we are lucky enough to be surrounded by on a daily basis. The feel for the day was natural and rustic, with some fun vintage touches. The beautiful Spruce Mountain Ranch, with the sweeping views and breathtaking lodge, was undoubtedly the perfect spot!
It was so important that the day really represented both of us--personalities, histories, and families. For the ceremony, our Ringbearer's pillow was made by my Oma (grandmother) and embroidered with Edelweiss flowers, to represent my German heritage and my little cousin sang an Italian love song (in Italian!) in honor of Kyle�s Italian heritage. Kyle�s brother officiated and we wrote our own vows, making that moment so special and completely us.
For the reception, the centerpieces were comprised of a variety of antiques, many from our inventory at Long Ago Love Events, but also some which were borrowed from both families. They included my father's bronzed baby shoes, pictures from Kyle�s grandparents' wedding day, and my grandpa's tin lunchbox. There were also quite a few DIY projects which included programs, favors, signage, and d�cor. The dessert bar was made up of all our favorite treats from growing up--parents, grandparents, and family friends all contributed!
Our advice to couples planning their Colorado wedding?
Don�t pull the weight all by yourself! Allow the assistance of friends and family who want to support you and look to your vendors as great resources�they work weddings every day, so they know how to make your day smooth and just as you imagined! Distributing responsibilities will allow you to enjoy your day to the fullest instead of feeling stressed.
