in mid-january, i had the opportunity to participate in STYLE ME PRETTY "INSPIRATION TO REALITY" feature. STYLE ME PRETTY runs a competition for their readers who are challenged to create a "style board" with elements that they would like to see at a wedding. our colorado dream team of vendors picked the winning board and then re-created it. the team was amazing and quite honestly this was an easy shoot for me because everywhere i pointed the camera, the team had done such incredible design.
if you are looking for an amazing wedding team here in colorado, we have already assembled it or you...check it out.

The Color Palette. This color palette is so insanely striking. It’s girly without being over the top. It’s modern while still being totally timeless. To get the same look, start with a patterned black and white fabric (or rented linens). If you don’t want to splurge on the entire table covering, head to your local fabric store and buy bolts, trim them down and use EZ hem to create large square place mats for the center of each table. Alternatively, a raspberry colored linen would look just as fantastic.
To add that amazing pop of pink, go for brightly colored roses or carnation, tightly packed into a large bowl. Carnations will save a bundle but you need to make sure that you really pack them in there. Accent with black napkins and you’re good to go.
The Chic Decor. We found these amazing black picture frames at IKEA for $24.99. We loved them so much, we bought them ourselves! Perfect for your wedding signage. Long pillar candles in silver holders like these to accent the tables, along with petite silver clocks each add to the drama.
The Fashion. We loooove the Vera Wang dress that the model is rocking, but it’s pricey. So if you are looking to save a few, we all fell madly in love with this one by Galina. Or, go even flirtier with a cocktail dress by our latest obsession, Ciarla bride. Add to that a cute pair of hot pink pumps and bridesmaids who are wearing their own little black dress and you have the recipe for gorgeous.
The Invitations. We spotted these cuties on 4th and Folded. Printed in Blossom with the Lexington liners…total perfection. And, at $55 for the templates, um…hello bargain.
The Food and Drinks. Save on your bar bill by just doing a signature cocktail (or beer, wine and a cocktail). For this look, a cold glass of champagne or a champagne cocktail is ideal. We can totally see a dessert and champagne reception with perfect French macarons and sweet crepes. Love, love, love.
