From Earth to Heirloom. Montana sapphires are as unique as the breathtaking landscapes they come from. Ethically sourced in Montana, these gemstones are known for their distinctive color range. Each stone is mined with minimal environmental impact, and great care is taken to restore the land—replacing soil and replanting native vegetation to preserve the natural beauty of Montana. No two stones are exactly alike, which means your ring is as unique as the moment it marks, whether that’s a love story, a milestone, or simply a celebration of self. SARAHOJEWELRY.COM

@brit_rockymtnbride A wedding is rarely just one day. It’s the gathering of friends who have traveled from different places, the dinner that stretches a little longer than planned, the morning spent getting ready together and the quiet moments in between that you didn’t know you would remember. The season you choose becomes the backdrop for all of it and creates a distinct experience in itself.

KENZ AND NICK PHOTOGRAPHY

Across Colorado, fall and winter weddings offer couples an opportunity to create celebrations that feel uniquely their own. Fall brings the warmth of changing landscapes, crisp evenings and golden light that makes every gathering feel especially inviting, while winter invites a different kind of gathering - one that leans into the unique beauty of snow covered mountains, the intimacy of candlelight and the comfort of gathering somewhere warm and welcoming. In this issue, we’re celebrating both seasons and the many ways they can shape a wedding weekend. From autumn celebrations surrounded by Colorado’s golden landscapes to winter weddings that embrace snow, mountain views and cozy interiors, these stories showcase just how varied and personal a Colorado wedding can be. We’re also rethinking the bachelorette weekend with a wellness-inspired shoot that puts connection at the center. Instead of adding another packed event to an already full season, we imagined a weekend designed to slow down, spend time together and enjoy the friendships that brought you here in the first place. Movement, skincare, journaling, time outside and plenty of space to simply be together and create a celebration that feels restorative as well as memorable. I hope this issue inspires you to slow down, savor the season you’ve chosen and make space for the moments that happen beyond the planned details.

Phones Down, Girls Weekend On. Forget the packed itineraries and over-the-top party plans. Instead, gather your girls for a weekend in the mountain town of Alma, where Haute Haus offers the perfect backdrop for a slower kind of bachelorette celebration. Start by surprising everyone with cozy welcome bags from Arden & Gold filled with matching pajamas, wellness journals, tea, skincare favorites and a few sweet treats before settling into the A-frame for a weekend centered around connection. Complete with soaring windows, outdoor hot tubs, a sauna and an optional wellness center, Haute Haus makes it easy to slow down, recharge and create meaningful memories with your favorite people. rocky mountain bride colorado fall & winter 2026 / rockymountainbride.com

Slip into your matching pajamas and start your slow mountain mornings with colorful, nutrientpacked smoothies before gathering around the table with wellness journals from Papier. Work through fun conversation prompts and write notes the bride will treasure long after her wedding day. Afterwards, head outside for a leisurely walk or a nearby hike, taking in the crisp mountain air and beautiful alpine scenery before returning to Haute Haus for an afternoon of wellness and relaxation.

After a morning spent exploring the mountains, return for an afternoon dedicated to rest and recovery. Roll out your yoga mats on the deck for a private yoga or Pilates session, then unwind in the sauna, steam shower or year-round hot tub. The best part? Feeling better when you head home than when you arrived. Guests can also upgrade their stay with access to the property’s private wellness center, complete with a Peloton bike, Tonal Smart Mirror and more, making it easy to create a personalized getaway with your girls.

The new pre-game looks a little different. Gather your girls for an at-home spa session complete with hydrating skincare, red light therapy masks from iRestore, cups of tea and plenty of laughter before heading out for the evening. Or skip the reservations altogether and stay cozy in your pajamas. Haute Haus’ concierge services make it easy to enjoy a private chef-prepared dinner, in-home massages or creative wellness experiences without ever leaving the cabin.

Throughout the weekend, disposable cameras and CampSnap photos capture the candid moments that make the best memories. Before everyone heads home, spread everything across the table for one last girls’ night and create a scrapbook filled with Polaroids, handwritten notes, snapshots and little keepsakes from the weekend. It’s the kind of souvenir no one buys at a gift shop and one the bride will treasure long after she says “I do!” Finish your time together making memories, put on your favorite record, build a charcuterie board, mix up a few zero-proof cocktails and gather around the table for card games and conversation. Or curl up with your girlfriends for a movie marathon, share stories from years past or simply watch the sun set behind the mountains.

Jenn and Ryan first struck up a conversation at the hotel bar following the rehearsal dinner of a mutual friend’s wedding. While they shared a few dances at the reception, the weekend came to a close with the two parting as friends, each returning to finish medical training on opposite sides of the country. They stayed in touch, and a year later made things official, navigating long distance until both relocated to Colorado together in 2023. A little over two years later, Ryan planned a day filled with thoughtful surprises, first leading Jenn on a hike to Panorama Point near Evergreen, where he got down on one knee at the top of their hike and asked her to be his forever. Halfway down the trail, Jenn’s parents were tucked away waiting to surprise her, followed by her two best friends who arrived one by one throughout the day. That evening, Ryan’s parents and one of his closest friends joined everyone for a celebratory dinner, turning the proposal into a full day shared with the people they love most.

Kylie and Luke met while they were out line dancing, when Luke mustered up the courage to ask Kylie to dance, sparking an instant connection that neither of them could ignore. Just eight months later, Luke planned an unforgettable proposal disguised as a couples photoshoot at Piney River Ranch. Having modeled with the photographer before, Kylie didn’t think twice about the setup and went along with each prompt, completely unaware of what was coming. As she turned around during one of the shots, set against glowing aspens turning bright yellow, sweeping mountain views and a sunset casting the most beautiful colors across the sky, Luke got down on one knee and asked Kylie to marry him, a surprise she’ll never forget.

Naomi and Brett met on the very first day of their first real job out of college. A relationship that started as strictly coworkers quickly turned into a natural, easy friendship, built on “lunches together, quick conversations between meetings, lingering a little longer than necessary at our desks,” until it became clear they were showing up for more than just work. It didn’t take long for Brett to ask Naomi on their first date to a cute little hole-in-the-wall pizza spot. Five years later, after growing through every season of life side by side, Brett planned a surprise proposal during a getaway to Aspen. What began as a cozy mountain trip turned unforgettable, as Naomi shared, “When we stepped outside the elevator, I saw the most stunning arrangement of flowers with a snow-dusted mountain backdrop, straight out of a movie. It had been snowing nonstop for 24 hours, and somehow, in that exact moment, the sky cleared, the snow stopped and the sun came out just for us.” In that moment, surrounded by fresh snow and golden light, he got down on one knee and asked her to be his wife.

Lauren and Shiloh met like many modern love stories, with a swipe right on Hinge. They met up for their first date at The Family Jones Distillery and as Lauren reminisced, “It was truly love at first sight!” From that moment on, they never stopped dating, bonding over their shared love of skiing, travel and good food. Four years later, Shiloh invited Lauren on what she thought would be a scenic gondola ride during peak leaf season in Vail. Instead, at the top of Lionshead Mountain, he got down on one knee, turning an ordinary afternoon into the most unforgettable moment. To celebrate, Lauren designed a retro-chic, St. Moritz ski-inspired engagement session at The RitzCarlton, Bachelor Gulch, capturing the elevated, mountain-luxury mood she had always envisioned.

Ella and Luke had known each other in high school, but their connection never quite extended beyond a casual friendship. Two years later, their paths crossed again, this time with something more intentional. As Ella recalls, “After our first date, God made it clear that we were meant to be.” Just six months into dating, Luke planned a surprise trip to Vail, where the mountains set the stage for an unforgettable proposal. After a gondola ride to the top, Ella was led to a scene of white florals overlooking the peaks. There, with sweeping views all around them, Luke got down on one knee, pausing to pray over their future before asking her to be his wife.

Rachel & Mike rockymountainbride.com / rocky mountain bride colorado fall & winter 2026


Rachel and Mike met for their first date at Eight Row Flint, where they shared the restaurant’s famous ranch waters, a drink they would later incorporate into one of their signature wedding cocktails. If you ask Mike, however, he might tell you the tall tale of how they first met in the canoes at summer camp in Texas. Rachel did attend summer camp in Texas as a child, but Mike certainly did not! Two years later, Rachel’s family planned a trip to Mykonos, Greece, to celebrate her mom’s 60th birthday. Just one week before the trip, Mike booked a last-minute flight and secretly joined the celebration. On the second evening, Rachel was told the family would be taking photos for her mom’s birthday, but when she walked onto the deck overlooking the ocean, she found Mike waiting to propose. Completely surprised, Rachel said “Yes!” and the couple spent the rest of the evening celebrating at a beach club with her family and their friends.


THE COUPLE EDIT FAVORITE PURCHASE My favorite purchase, honestly, was H-E-B butter tortillas. I brought them fresh from Texas so we could have breakfast tacos while getting ready the wedding morning. My favorite purchase on a more traditional note: vintage white Louboutins for the rehearsal dinner, suede with a lace overlay and a heel tall enough to make a short bride very happy. FRAGRANCE The Matcha 26 by Le Labo NON-NEGOTIABLES The groom’s coconut cake SOMETHING BLUE A ring my mom gave me in high school from Becky Kelso. AISLE SONG “Turning Page” (Instrumental) by Sleeping at Last SIGNATURE COCKTAILS Hugo Spritz, Negroni, Eight Row Ranch Water and the Martini Bar: Dirty Martini (Gin or Vodka); Flatliner Espresso Martini; Cosmopolitan FIRST DANCE SONG “Carry You” by Teskey Brothers SECOND-LOOK I changed into a lacey short Bronx and Banco dress that has a corset and boned skirt. My hair stylist made a second appearance and she pulled my hair into a high pony. My dress also came with lace gloves around my wrists. LATE NIGHT SNACKS Crazy Elk Pizza, french fries and chicken tenders VENDOR LOVE Ashley from Studio Ashmohr, she was such an important part of my planning experience. My whole invitation suite and wedding paper products were a labor of love. She did such a good job capturing the wedding personality through our invitation suite and we had such a fun time designing all the paper products. From the ceremony booklets matching my fabrics to the Last Dollar Martini Club hats, her touch on my wedding was monumental. She was there during the pouring rain making sure all of my day-of paper made it through to the wedding. She was incredible. Runaway Vows, Nathan George and Sutton worked as a true team, taking the time to understand Mike and me so our vision came through exactly as we’d imagined. The Western night photoshoot with Nathan was a highlight of the weekend, the way he and Runaway Vows played off each other’s work made the whole shoot feel effortless. Working with them was such a fun experience as a bride. They gave me so much confidence and really helped me feel present in those big life moments.

Rachel and Mike’s wedding weekend kicked off with an Italian garden party rehearsal dinner at Rachel’s parents’ home, followed by a Western-inspired welcome party on Friday evening. On the wedding day, 160 of their closest friends and family joined them for a black-tie celebration at Lower Golden Ledge at Aldasoro Weddings. There, towering aspens anchored the ceremony site, while soft ground florals in shades of baby blue, lavender and purple lined the aisle. Although an unexpected storm delayed the ceremony, the skies eventually cleared, revealing the season’s first snow, which dusted the mountaintops as the couple exchanged vows. Immediately after the ceremony, guests made their way into the reception tent, where they were seated as the sun set across the mountains. Rachel shared that one of the evening’s most memorable details was the Last Dollar Martini Club, a custom martini bar named in honor of Telluride and complete with its own neon sign and personalized hats that made their way onto the dance floor.

Cat & Lukas

rockymountainbride.com / rocky mountain bride colorado fall & winter 2026


One evening while scrolling through Hinge, Cat came across, as she describes, “a very cool man in an allspandex cycling outfit, mysteriously looking out over Dominguez Canyon.” Intrigued, she decided to reach out, and after chatting late into the night, the two made plans to meet at City Park in Denver. What started as a simple first date quickly turned into something more, and a little over four years later, they found themselves back where it all began. During a walk through the park in November, Lukas managed to keep Cat guessing just long enough before leading her to the very bench where they first met. There, he shared a few heartfelt words before getting down on one knee to ask her to be his wife. Her answer? “Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!”

Cat and Lukas went on to plan a minimalist and fun wedding weekend complete with nods to Cat’s Chinese heritage, hosting 70 of their closest friends and family in Winter Park. As Cat shared, “We wanted a wedding that felt like a destination getaway without creating a major travel or planning hassle for our guests.” Their ceremony took place at the top of Winter Park, where sweeping mountain views set the tone, complemented by a soft, autumninspired ground arch that added just enough detail while still letting the scenery take center stage. After saying “I do,” the couple honored tradition with a Chinese tea ceremony where they served tea to their elders and received gifts in return. The celebration carried into the evening as dinner began with a lively lion dance performance, with guests invited to offer red envelopes to the lions for good luck. As the night went on, the energy shifted into a full dance floor moment, complete with disco cowboy hats, oversized cutouts of their cat and outfit changes for both the bride and groom, with Cat slipping into a short, sparkly halter dress and Lukas changing into a white tuxedo coat. rocky mountain bride colorado fall & winter 2026 / rockymountainbride.com

Anna and Dalton met while earning their biomedical sciences master’s degrees at Colorado State University. With fall being her favorite season, she had always dreamed of seeing the leaves change in the mountains, but one year while they were dating, they made the drive only to find the trees already bare. The very next year, Dalton planned the ultimate proposal, bringing her back for a fall getaway and getting down on one knee surrounded by vibrant, colorful leaves that made the moment feel even more special. Anna and Dalton always knew they wanted to get married in the Rockies, and after touring Devil’s Thumb Ranch, it was a clear choice. They went on to plan a whimsical and moody wedding for 115 of their closest friends and family.


THE COUPLE EDIT FAVORITE PURCHASE My wedding dress, of course! I wore The Gayle by Cinq, and it was the most perfect, beautiful dress of my dreams. SOMETHING BLUE Years ago, my brother and I gifted our mom a blue topaz necklace. For my wedding, she gave me the stone and let me create a ring with it to wear on my wedding day. It was my something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue. SHADE OF LIPSTICK I used Sephora brand lip liner in Soft Suede and Elf’s Lip Balm in Vanilla. FRAGRANCE Pomegranate Noir by Jo Malone HIS NON-NEGOTIABLE Dalton feels very passionate about music, so he really took the reins when it came to our DJ and creating the perfect playlists. AISLE SONG “Experience” by Ludovico Einaudi FIRST DANCE SONG “Invisible String” by Taylor Swift CAKE FLAVORS We had a two-tier vanilla cake with Swiss buttercream and raspberry jam in one tier and cream for the other tier. SECOND-LOOK I loved my wedding dress so much that I didn’t want to take it off until I was going to bed! LATE NIGHT SNACK We had pizza for everyone! SONGS THAT MADE EVERYONE DANCE “Found A Way” by Drake Bell and anything Smash Mouth

Check out their wedding video here!


It was clear that fashion and fun played a major role in Anna and Dalton’s wedding weekend at Devil’s Thumb Ranch. The celebrations began with an intimate “Dinner in Denim” gathering with family, followed by a welcome party where the bride surprised guests in an ivory satin jacket and matching mini shorts, styled with playful accessories that set the tone for the weekend ahead. On the wedding day, she slipped into a strapless CINQ gown paired with a romantic lace veil, while the groom complemented the color palette in a rich brown suit with an olive tie. Standing at the altar with the mountains stretched out behind them, Anna shared that time seemed to stand still, the rest of the world fading away as she looked at the love of her life. As guests made their way into the reception, a collection of thrifted frames filled with photos of those who had passed was displayed beside the seating chart, a meaningful detail woven into the celebration followed by an evening of dancing, ending with a song by their best friends’ band, Shady Oaks.

Remy & Rob

rockymountainbride.com / rocky mountain bride colorado fall & winter 2026


Rob likes to say that he and Remy met in the kombucha aisle at Whole Foods, but Remy remembers it a little differently. After matching on Hinge shortly after she moved to Denver, the pair met for drinks at Catbird in RiNo. Remy still vividly recalls pulling up to the iconic pink hotel and spotting Rob leaning against the wall in a gray-green chromatic outfit, complete with long dark hair and a bold mustache. It’s a moment she has never forgotten. Just two years later, during a winter weekend in Evergreen, Rob suggested the couple take a walk around the lake despite the bitter cold. Thankfully, Remy agreed. As they crossed the bridge, Rob got down on one knee and asked her to marry him. After she joyfully said “Yes!” Remy’s sister and her partner emerged from hiding to capture the moment on camera. The newly engaged couple celebrated with champagne before reuniting with their parents and closest friends for a surprise dinner in honor of their next chapter together.


THE COUPLE EDIT FAVORITE PURCHASE My wedding dress was an absolute dream. I first saw it on a TikTok influencer and immediately went down a rabbit hole trying to find it. When I finally did, I ended up redesigning it a bit, removing some fabric and making small changes to match the look I fell in love with. It turned out even better than I imagined and truly became one of a kind. It felt so ‘me,’ and I couldn’t have dreamed up a more perfect dress for our day. SHADE OF LIPSTICK Creme Cup by Mac Cosmetics and Wherever Walnut Lip Liner by Make Up For Ever FRAGRANCE Nothing but the mountain air! HIS NON-NEGOTIABLE His mustache :) AISLE SONG “Home” by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros SIGNATURE COCKTAILS Hers - gin cocktail with flavors like elderflower and berry, his - mezcal banana margarita FIRST DANCE SONG “Me & You (OurVinyl Sessions)” by Field Guide SECOND-LOOK I wore a green dress with blue snakeskin boots and a pink cowgirl hat as my afterparty look. The dress was Anthropologie, the boots: Schutz and the hat: Gigi Pip. I love to wear color. I almost bought a pink wedding dress! LATE NIGHT SNACKS French fries with so many dips and fried chicken bites! SONG THAT MADE EVERYONE DANCE “Pink Pony Club” by Chappell Roan and “The Chicken Dance” VENDOR LOVE Our content and media team was absolutely incredible. Even though they were all separate vendors, a videographer, content creator, and photographer, they got along so well and bounced ideas off each other seamlessly. It was amazing because we were able to get content right away. We just received our photographs and still have our full video to look forward to, which has made reliving the day even more special. We also can’t say enough about the two managers at the A-Frame Club, Susanne and Kelly. They are truly exceptional. They treated us like family and focused on every single detail, down to making sure my mom always had a carafe of tea in her hand. Their care and attention made the entire experience feel effortless and personal, they were absolutely amazing.


After stumbling across A-Frame Club on Instagram, Remy and Rob knew they had found the perfect setting for their retro mountain chic wedding weekend. Known for her love of funky patterns, bold colors and playful accessories, Remy infused her personality into each look throughout the weekend. For the welcome party, she wore a vibrant yellow Bernadette dress while Rob opted for a blue suit. On the wedding day, Remy chose a Paco Rabanne gown, customizing the design by removing the collar for a look that felt simple, comfortable and effortlessly chic, while Rob complemented her in a tricolor suit woven with rich shades of brown. Later that evening, Remy slipped into a satin green dress paired with blue snakeskin boots and a pink cowgirl hat for the afterparty. Keeping their earth-conscious values in mind, the couple allowed the natural beauty of the setting to take center stage, opting for minimal decor and letting the energy of their loved ones shape the celebration. Their dog joined in the festivities, while colorful floral arrangements by Fair Verona Floral added just the right amount of personality and polish to the mountain surroundings.


ADVICE The hardest part of wedding planning is getting started. Deciding on guest numbers and finding a venue that works can feel overwhelming. Rob wanted a big wedding, I wanted a small one, and we finally landed on 70 guests after a bunch of honest conversations. Lean into those tough conversations, you’re preparing for marriage, after all. Delegate tasks with your partner and don’t be afraid to ask for help. Talk about budget with family early, and make sure everyone is clear on wiggle room and non-negotiables. Most importantly, enjoy the process. Don’t let the cliché ‘wedding stress’ take over, the day flies by in the blink of an eye!

Juliet & Cole

Juliet and Cole met while out on the town with friends at Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row, proving you really can meet true love at a bar, as Juliet likes to joke. After two years of dating, Cole proposed on Juliet’s birthday during a sunset visit to Sycamore Cove Beach in California. He surprised her with a romantic beachside picnic complete with champagne, flowers, cozy blankets and pillows before getting down on one knee. With Colorado always holding a special place in their hearts, they chose to host an elegant mountaintop wedding in Telluride for 130 of their friends and family. Against a backdrop of golden fall foliage and sweeping alpine views, the couple exchanged vows with the San Juan Mountains as their backdrop and honored Juliet’s Jewish heritage by sharing wine from the Kiddush Cup and sealing their vows with the breaking of the glass.


THE COUPLE EDIT ADVICE Remember that the day goes by so quickly, so take intentional moments to pause and really take it all in. Focus on each other, not the timeline or the tiny details—those will fade, but the way the day feels won’t. Trust the people you’ve chosen to help you and let go as much as you can. At the end of the day, it’s about marrying your person and celebrating with the people you love most. FAVORITE PURCHASE I loved buying my bridesmaids cozy pj sets that they got ready in! They were the Ruffle Bamboo Pajama Set in Tan Gingham from Waverles!! FRAGRANCE J’adore Eau de Parfum by Dior AISLE SONG “Canon in D” played by guitar SIGNATURE COCKTAILS His: Margarita, Hers: Aperol Spritz and Maple’s, our dog: Old Fashioned FIRST DANCE SONG “You Are the Best Thing” by Ray LaMontagne CAKE FLAVOR Vanilla berry chantilly cake SECOND-LOOK I changed into a sparkly crystal mini dress, also designed by Dana Harel, with gold platform heels. LATE NIGHT SNACK Sliders SONG THAT MADE EVERYONE DANCE “Pink Pony Club” by Chappell Roan VENDOR LOVE Rhinestone Rodeo Band!!!!

Kendall & Kevin

Kendall and Kevin met at a friend’s house before a concert, where they spent the evening talking and dancing before parting ways without exchanging numbers. To Kendall’s surprise, a few days later, Kevin slid into Kendall’s DMs, and despite Kevin leaving on tour shortly after their first date, the two quickly grew closer. And, just three years later, during a Labor Day weekend getaway with friends, Kevin surprised Kendall with a proposal overlooking a picturesque mountain lake. Thinking the weekend was meant to celebrate another couple’s engagement, she never saw it coming.

With the help of Riviera Creative, Kendall and Kevin brought their vision of a romantic, cozy and organic celebration to life in Buena Vista, where Kendall first realized she wanted to marry Kevin. Kendall stunned in a pleated Danielle Frankel gown and veil paired with Jimmy Choo heels, while Kevin wore a custom suit from Bespoke Edge. Surrounded by 225 of their closest friends and family, the couple exchanged vows beneath a lush floral arch with their beloved dogs by their side and the Collegiate Peaks serving as their witness. A palette of rich greens, soft neutrals and colorful garden-inspired blooms carried guests from the ceremony to a sailcloth tent reception where Kendall slipped into a shimmering gold Cult Gaia dress. One of the most unforgettable moments came when Kevin surprised her with a song he had secretly written and performed, bringing the entire tent to tears before everyone closed down the evening on the dance floor. rocky mountain bride colorado fall & winter 2026 / rockymountainbride.com

THE COUPLE EDIT ADVICE You end up spending quite a bit of your wedding weekend with your photographer and videographer. Liking their style is important, but they’re so much more likely to capture good photos and videos of you if you’re having fun. Choose people you vibe with! FAVORITE PURCHASE Honestly, the sun parasols for the ceremony were one of the best things we bought. The ceremony site had zero shade, and the parasols were such a vibe in photos. Also I really loved my Jimmy Choos. FRAGRANCE Matcha 26 by Le Labo SOMETHING BLUE My dear friend gave me a handkerchief with “Something Blue” embroidered on it. HIS NON-NEGOTIABLE Good music and a custom suit AISLE SONG Kevin walked down the aisle with his mom to Ella Fitzgerald’s “Sunshine of Your Love” and I walked with my dad to “Can I Call You Rose?” by Thee Sacred Souls. SIGNATURE COCKTAILS The “Praia da Rocha” was a tamarind tequila drink named for both our dog, Rocha, and a beach we love in Portugal. The “Little Lily” was a cucumber G&T named for our other dog, Lily, and the Widespread Panic song she was named after. FIRST DANCE SONG “Thank You” by Bonnie Raitt SECOND-LOOK I wore a sequined dress from Cult Gaia to the afterparty. SONG THAT MADE EVERYONE DANCE The dance floor was packed throughout, but “Pony” by Ginuwine and “I Wanna Be Your Lover” by Prince were two standout hits. LATE NIGHT SNACK Domino’s thin crust pizza at the afterparty. VENDOR LOVE Our photographer, Laur Fernandez Photography, videographer, KP Visuals, and wedding planner, Riviera Creative, were truly a dream team. The photos and videos from our wedding day were so exceptional, and Keely, our planner made sure everything was taken care of and seamless. They all work so well together and made time spent taking photos/videos fun. If I could do it all over again, I’d choose this vendor trio a million times over. Our florist, Rose Bud Thorn Florals, was also incredible. Our ceremony florals were absolutely gorgeous, and she repurposed all of them in the reception tent. She even sourced actual TREES for inside the tent and created some truly breathtaking hanging installations. I loved our entire vendor team and can’t say enough good things about all of them.

Maxine & Isak 110 rockymountainbride.com / rocky mountain bride colorado fall & winter 2026


After matching on Bumble, Maxine and Isak headed to Denver’s Vesper Lounge for their first date. Three years later, Isak proposed during a winter trip to Davos, Switzerland, where Maxine’s family had long spent their holidays. As the sun set over the snow-covered mountains on New Year’s Eve, he got down on one knee at a scenic overlook and asked Maxine to be his forever. The couple welcomed 115 guests to Snowmass for a winter wedding inspired by the warmth and charm of a Colorado chalet. As avid skiers, they chose Snowmass for its mountain culture and easy access for their European family.

THE COUPLE EDIT ADVICE Make the weekend a reflection of you! There will be many opinions, but at the end of the day it’s a party for/of/ celebrating your relationship. Also, try not to put too much pressure on yourself -- it’s perfectly OK if it’s not the best day of your life. FAVORITE PURCHASE Our wedding rings of course! SOMETHING BLUE Vintage Chanel bag SOMETHING OLD Grandmother’s pearls FRAGRANCE Rose by Le Labo HIS NON-NEGOTIABLE Bolo tie for afterparty AISLE SONG “The Swan” of Carnival of the Animals by Camille Saint-Saens SIGNATURE COCKTAIL “The Lola” take on Old Fashioned, named after Isak’s late dog FIRST DANCE SONG “If We Make It Through December” by Phoebe Bridgers (Cover) CAKE FLAVOR Lemon with strawberry buttercream SECOND-LOOK Full lace outfit from Yellow The Label LATE NIGHT SNACKS Mama's homemade goulasch soup and fries SONG THAT MADE EVERYONE DANCE “WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!” by RAYE VENDOR LOVE Our catering/beverage team from European Caterers were fantastic: excellent service, friendly staff, no cocktail too complex for our beverage lead. They stayed late into the night to make sure we had a wonderful afterparty. Also, a special thanks to our friend Jake Gardner, owner of local brewery Westbound & Down, who gifted us hundreds of custom beers for the weekend. Their design team took our matches, two cherub angels, and created the perfect “Celebration Lager” label. We are still working on the extras to this day!

A cozy, dinner party atmosphere shaped every part of the weekend, from a creekside ceremony, where the couple's dog, Lila, wandered among guests during their vows, to cocktail hour in the home's living room, a candlelit reception beneath a clear-top tent, and an afterparty in the property's barn. Maxine wore a pearl-embellished Sarah Seven gown with a soft wrap before changing into a highneck lace tunic by Yellow The Label for the afterparty, while Isak completed the look in a modern tuxedo with patent loafers. Of course, European traditions were woven throughout the celebration with a cheese raclette station, German-inspired cuisine and homemade goulash served by the bride's mother late into the evening.

TELLURIDE - HOTEL MADELINE

Mara & Tiler

Mara and Tiler celebrated their engagement at Black Cat Farm in Boulder and designed nearly identical custom rings with Luz Made. A little over six months later, they were joined by 13 close friends in Telluride for an elegant, slightly Western and feminine weekend filled with skiing, delicious meals and plenty of celebrating. When it came time to make things official, however, it was just Mara, Tiler and their two dogs. Personal details appeared throughout the weekend, including a custom ranch brand created from their initials and featured on their vow books, hats and the dogs’ bandanas. Mara also wore a vintage gold “M” pin that belonged to her grandmother, while the couple completed their looks with matching creamy gray cowboy hats finished with brown leather hatbands and subtle silver hearts. After privately reading their vows, the couple signed their marriage license and, of course, had their dogs serve as witnesses with paw-print stamps.

THE COUPLE EDIT FAVORITE PURCHASES Our custom rings and custom hats. We also loved how the cake turned out, and we’re glad we put the time, energy and money into that detail. Since we were there over our annual ski closing weekend, we bought matching white ski suits from a Colorado company called Half Days for the occasion. They turned heads on the mountain, and everyone was excited when they learned why we were wearing matching outfits. We rounded out the look with matching white helmets and cream-colored gloves. FRAGRANCE Tiler wore I Don’t Know What by D.S. & Durga. Mara wore Dirty Rice by Born to Stand Out, a niche Korean fragrance house. She’s received so many compliments on it that she’s almost hesitant to reveal it. NON-NEGOTIABLE Tiler had to have the dogs’ paw prints on the marriage license. SIGNATURE COCKTAILS Since we didn’t have a traditional reception, we didn’t have a dedicated bar with signature cocktails, but each dinner venue had a great cocktail program. At the first, a mezcal drink was a favorite. At the second, everyone loved a jambased cocktail, served with a spoonful of jam you stir into your spirit of choice. CAKE FLAVORS Almond vanilla cake with vanilla frosting

SECOND-LOOK Mara’s second look, slightly more formal, was a white jumpsuit with a sheer back and sheer sleeves, paired again with white heels featuring more shine and sparkle. My second outfit was a strapless, body-skimming, floor-length white dress, worn with a chiffon scarf around my neck that flowed down the back like a veil worn with closed-toe pointed off-white heels. VENDOR LOVE We were lucky that our wedding photographer is one of our closest friends — shoutout to Becca of Rebecca Haley Photography. She went above and beyond, spending two full days photographing us all over the mountain, in town, at our hotel, at the courthouse and even on the gondola. We rented a space at the ski resort with a beautiful view, and she joined us for a sunset shoot at 9,000–10,000 feet elevation in the cold, making the most of it. She was wonderful with our dogs and incorporated them in such fun ways. She even brought her camera to one of our dinners and captured amazing shots of all of us celebrating, plus curated photos of our guests, such a thoughtful, above-and-beyond touch. The photos turned out better than we ever could have imagined, and they still don’t feel real when we look at them. Our other close friend, Gina Dodge of Drawn to Flowers, put together our bouquets for the weekend and also went above and beyond. We were pleasantly surprised that she’d made small bouquets for the dogs’ collars, plus provided extra flowers throughout the house and hotel room, special touches we had no idea were coming. She made both fresh and dried bouquets, since we weren’t sure what the weather would be like or how long fresh flowers would last over the week we’d be there. Having never worked with a professional florist before, we didn’t quite know how to communicate our vision up front, but she brought it to life perfectly and really captured who we are.


ADVICE Trust the universe to ultimately bring your plans to life in the best way for you. Don’t feel pressure to do anything a certain way, go in the direction that feels least stressful and most like yourselves. Focus on what will make you and your partner happiest and most present in the moment. You want to be able to look back on it and really feel so vividly there again as much as you possibly can. Remember that the day is about you and celebrating you, so bring it to life however best for you.

Bethany & Ben

Bethany and Ben’s story began with a second chance. The pair first matched on Bumble, where Bethany admits she may have ghosted Ben at first. When they matched again on Hinge, they finally decided to meet up for a first date and quickly realized there was a spark. After nearly four years together, Ben planned a picturesque proposal during a summer trip to Rhode Island. Looking back, Bethany recalls, “Ugh, it was so perfect.” As the sun dipped below the horizon, he got down on one knee atop a cliff overlooking the ocean near Castle Hill Inn. After she said “Yes!,” the couple celebrated with a dreamy dinner at the inn.


With the help of Amber with Perfect Day Co., Bethany and Ben brought their vision of a “Nancy Meyers in the mountains” wedding weekend to life at Kendall Mountain Lodge. They invited 60 of their closest family and friends to experience the mountain town they had fallen in love with years before. No wedding weekend would have been complete without their golden retrievers, Wrangler and Annie, who inspired signature cocktails and joined in the festivities throughout the weekend. Looking back on the planning process, Bethany says choosing her outfits was one of her favorite parts. For the welcome party at The Wyman Hotel, she paired a romantic lace dress with a Stetson hat and Tecovas boots, embracing the weekend’s refined Western aesthetic. On the wedding day, her bridesmaids got ready in thrifted men’s button-ups embroidered with their initials while Bethany walked down the aisle alongside Ben in a heartfelt tribute to her late father, wearing a vintage Monique Lhuillier gown she discovered on Facebook Marketplace. Set against the dramatic San Juan Mountains, guests gathered for a floral-lined ceremony before dancing the night away with drinks flowing. The celebration continued back at the hotel for an unforgettable afterparty.


THE COUPLE EDIT FAVORITE PURCHASE My vintage wedding dress, it was just such a perfect find!! SHADE OF LIPSTICK I actually lost my own lipstick so I was using different friends’ shades all day, but I did a lip stain from Sacheu Beauty that morning with gloss! FRAGRANCE Peony & Blush Suede Cologne by Jo Malone NON-NEGOTIABLE The Dogs! AISLE SONG Our bridal party walked down to “Landslide” by Fleetwood Mac and Benjamin and I walked down to “Our House” by the Vitamin String Quartet SIGNATURE COCKTAILS For the welcome dinner we had “The Wrangler” Topo Chico, tequila, lime and Tajin and “The Annie” a spicy peach margarita. On our wedding day we had three, “The McCrary” which was like an Old Fashioned, “The Bethany” which was a Paloma and “The Benjamin” which was a Moscow Mule. FIRST DANCE SONG “Wonderful Tonight” by Eric Clapton CAKE FLAVORS Almond with raspberry jam, my sister actually made the cake! She is a baker in Texas. SECOND-LOOK My afterparty look was custom from a shop on Etsy! Shoes were vintage Caparros from Depop. LATE NIGHT SNACK We had pizza at our afterparty! SONG THAT MADE EVERYONE DANCE Anything by ABBA VENDOR LOVE All my vendors went above and beyond for our wedding weekend! Our photographer, Ann Mark, flew in from New York and her second shooter, Emma, from Nebraska, they were truly the dream team! Our day-of coordinator, Amber and her team were so organized and efficient. They made the weekend go so smoothly I literally don’t know if anything went wrong, or if it did I didn’t know about it. And my florist Marissa! She traveled all the way from Fort Worth, Texas, and made the florals of my dreams happen! So thankful for her and her husband for putting in the work for our weekend.

RANCH HERITAGE Set against the sweeping Rocky Mountain backdrop of SageHeart Ranch in Boulder, this heirloom-inspired editorial by planner and photographer Josie Grace Photo, reimagines the beauty of celebrating close to home. Designed with a focus on legacy, connection and gathering, the wedding weekend embraced an earthy palette of sculptural florals and flowing drapery. The celebration began with a relaxed poolside welcome party where guests mingled over passed hors d’oeuvres, sipped cocktails and enjoyed elevated lawn games as horses grazed nearby and the Colorado sun dipped behind the mountains.


The fashion reflected two distinct moments of the wedding weekend. For the poolside welcome party, the bride wore a delicate off-white lace midi dress, while the groom opted for a relaxed black double-breasted suit worn without a shirt and finished with statement loafers, striking the perfect balance between playful and polished. For the wedding day, the bride changed into the CINQ Louise gown from Raw Golden Rentals, where its shirred off-theshoulder neckline and sculptural basque waist offered a modern interpretation of timeless bridal style. To complete the look, she added earthy brown pointed-toe heels, pearl drop earrings and an organically shaped bouquet of calla lilies by Junegrass Florals. Meanwhile, the groom wore a classic black tuxedo accented with a pearl brooch that echoed the bride’s jewelry.

The ceremony design transformed the home itself into part of the celebration, seamlessly blending the beauty of the landscape with the meaning held inside the home. Soft ivory drapery cascaded from the second-story windows, pooling gracefully behind the couple as sculptural grasses, calla lilies and meadow-inspired florals framed the aisle. As planner, Josie Grace, describes it, “Rather than separating the home from the ceremony, the space became intertwined. The drapery created a visual connection between the intimacy held within those walls and the union unfolding just outside them.”

After the couple exchanged vows, guests made their way to the back lawn overlooking the ranch’s pastures, where long, family-style tables invited everyone to linger over dinner beneath the Colorado sky. A lace-inspired wedding cake by Alyce in Flourland served as the centerpiece of the celebration, while heirloom-inspired place settings, delicate glassware and twiggy, garden-inspired floral arrangements created an atmosphere that felt elevated yet warm and inviting. Nearby, an abundant escort display overflowing with fresh grapes and seasonal fruit welcomed guests to their seats, setting the tone for an evening centered around good food and great conversation.
