BREE + MICHAEL TELLURIDE
Bree and Michael’s story began in Chicago, Illinois although it almost didn’t happen. “I saw a photo of him on a friend’s Instagram from Red Rocks and immediately asked about him,” Bree recalled. “She told me there was a 0% chance as he lived in DC and had a girlfriend.” However, almost a year later, fate intervened. Bree spotted that same smile and those unmistakable blue eyes on Bumble. Turns out, he had moved to Chicago the day before. After staying up all night messaging, they had their first date and never looked back. Seven years later, Michael proposed during a ski weekend in Aspen. After a perfect day on the slopes, they checked into the St. Regis Aspen and took a walk before dinner. That’s when they stumbled upon an aisle of candles and rose petals leading to framed photos from every year of their relationship. Michael got down on one knee, and just after Bree said yes, the hotel’s dog, Kitty, came running out with a bottle of champagne. They celebrated with dinner at Casa Tua and spent the rest of the weekend soaking it all in.

BEAVER CREEK
BEAU + BILLY
Beau and Billy first met when Beau was in town for a job interview. Even though he was just visiting, the pair decided to take a chance and go on a first date after matching on Bumble. “Neither of us knew then that one swipe would change our lives, but from that very first date, everything just clicked,” they shared. After seven years together, Billy planned a proposal that was unforgettable. Looking back on the moment, Beau shared, “After an amazing dinner at Splendido at the Chateau in Beaver Creek Village, we enjoyed cocktails in the lounge when fireworks started outside. We stepped onto the balcony to watch, and Billy suggested we move for a better view. Next thing I knew, he was down on one knee, ring, or rather, watch—in hand!” For their engagement session, Beau and Billy returned to the mountains that have long felt like a second home. With fresh snow underfoot and a crisp alpine breeze in the air, the couple skied through Beaver Creek, laughing and soaking up every moment all while photographer, Mary Ann Craddock documented the day.

CAMILLE + EVAN
ESTES PARK
Camille and Evan met during their senior year at the University of Delaware. After five and a half years together, Evan planned a proposal on a snowy winter weekend. The couple checked into the A-Frame Club in Winter Park, a favorite getaway location since they had moved to Colorado. After dinner at the property’s cozy grill, they returned to their cabin with dessert and cocktails in hand. As snow gently fell outside, Evan asked Camille to spend forever with him. To celebrate, they chose to have their love story captured doing what they love most, skiing in the mountains. Dressed in thrifted vintage outfits styled by their photographer, Victoria Kait, they hit the slopes together for an unforgettable engagement session.

ROXANNE + BRANDON
Roxanne and Brandon met during a college summer break. Roxanne had a house that was a frequent hangout spot for friends, and one day, Brandon walked through the door with a mutual friend, no knock, just confidence! She happened to be home that morning after a summer spent working an internship, and the two struck up an easy conversation. Before long, Brandon asked for her number, and just a few months later, they were officially a couple.
Seven years later, Brandon planned the ultimate Colorado proposal. The couple had purchased a home in Loveland with sweeping views of Rocky Mountain National Park, and from their backyard, they could see Longs Peak, a 14er they’d always talked about hiking. One crisp morning, they set out before sunrise and made the climb. At the summit, 14,259 feet above sea level, Brandon got down on one knee and asked Roxanne to spend the rest of her life with him. “He asked me where my favorite place in the world was, and I said, ‘At home with you,’” Roxanne shared. “That moment on the mountain felt like the perfect beginning to forever.”

TAYLOR + NICK
Taylor and Nick first met on a game day in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where fate and a shared love for the Minnesota Vikings brought them together. Taylor, a former Vikings cheerleader, was out with friends watching the game when Nick spotted her across the bar and mustered the courage to say hello. After a few weeks of exchanging messages, they met up again for a casual night of pool in Nick’s unfinished basement, and the rest is history. Four years later, during a group trip to Sarasota, Florida, Nick orchestrated a surprise proposal on the beach at sunset. Taylor recalled, “The group took a quick ‘walk on the beach’ to grab some photos prior to dinner, but to my surprise, we stumbled upon a white flower setup, a hidden photographer and Nick down on one knee as the sun touched over the water. The friend group celebrated, popped champagne on the beach and went out to a local joint to mow down my favorite food, king crab legs!”

Emily and Joe’s love story began with a little creative matchmaking! Emily’s best friend took matters into her own hands by setting up a Hinge profile as Emily, a real-life catfish moment, to do some pre-screening. Fortunately, her instincts were spot on. Their first date, a hike up Mt. Falcon Castle Trail, turned out to be their last. After nearly three years of dating, while in Paris, France, ahead of a friend’s wedding, Emily unknowingly booked a sunset tour to the top of the Eiffel Tower, the very moment Joe had been waiting for. With the ring discreetly in tow, he got down on one knee at golden hour. “I will tell you that even though I booked the tour up there, I was shocked when I saw this man down on one knee,” Emily shares. “I design engagement rings, my dream ring, and had opinions on this design and didn’t believe my team would ever get it past me. But of course they did.” The proposal couldn’t have been more perfect, a memory Emily says “will be so full of love as it replays in my head forever.”

Heritage & Heart
With the sweeping views of Tundra Springs as their canvas, Nicole Silver Events and Alicia Rinka set out to create a styled shoot that embodied the spirit of old money Western charm. The venue’s sprawling ranch and rugged peaks provided a cinematic backdrop for a look that blended refinement and rusticity. Think heirloom elegance meets cowboy cool, where timeless textures, understated details and heritage-rich style converge to tell a story of elevated celebration.
The paper goods from Montana Paper Co set the tone, showcasing pressed floral prints and textured deckleedge stationery. Guests would find their names written in delicate script atop place cards finished with gold wax seals, complementing a tablescape that felt luxurious even in the open fields. The fashion was equally striking. The bride stunned in a sculptural strapless Lela Rose gown from Little White Dress Bridal Shop, accented with sparkling diamonds from Sarah O. Jewelry; the Jenna Marquise Engagement Ring with a 1.5 ct center stone, paired their Thin Gold Stacker Band and completed with the Emma three diamonds in bezels necklace. While the groom’s tailored look from SuitShop balanced elegance with a Western edge. No old money Western moment is complete without custom cowboy hats, and Hats by Parker Thomas delivered timeless, personalized toppers that brought the couple’s chic ranch aesthetic to life.
A moody and refined palette of deep maroons, forest greens and grounded neutrals wove its way through the day including the textural arrangements flanking the ceremony aisle. Yarrow & Spruce crafted a floral story that felt native and luxurious all at once, using Colorado-grown blooms such as chocolate cosmos, terracotta lisianthus, smokebush, ninebark, wild buckwheat and native grasses. The combination of textures and tones created a truly seasonal and evocative experience.
For the reception, guests were invited to gather in an open meadow framed by mountains and golden light. The lounge setup by Oak & Twine Rentals combined cozy textures with tailored finishes like rich wood furniture, fur throws and earthy-toned floral accents that brought warmth to the wild. A single long table was set for dinner, dressed in green printed linens and layered with emerald flatware and vintage-inspired details like fine china and crystal glassware. But the showstopper? A three-tier cake by Alyce in Flourland, adorned with sculptural wafer florals and cascading amaranthus, with an indulgent brown sugar chocolate chip cookie crumb and rich cookie dough filling. Each guest was even served their own miniature version, offering a sweet and sophisticated finish to a storybook romance.

Set against the sweeping peaks of Colorado’s San Juan Mountains, this fall-forward editorial at Purgatory Resort captures the golden beauty of autumn in the Rockies. Inspired by the season’s vibrant shift when aspens and maples light up the mountainside in rich golds, fiery reds and burnt oranges, planner and designer Cinder and Pine Weddings brought the changing landscape to life through immersive ceremony florals and natural, locally foraged foliage. Towering aspens appeared to grow organically from the ceremony aisle, while fresh-cut flowers like mums, roses and amaranthus were carefully layered into the scene. As Casey Baird of Cinder and Pine shared, they “constructed a life-sized display that felt as though it had organically emerged from the mountainside. Using innovative mechanics, we were able to support towering, seven-foot trees within foam blocks, carefully filling in with fresh cut flowers so that every element appeared intrinsically connected, growing together just as they do in the wild.”
In keeping with the organic sophistication of the day, the bride wore a lace gown from Katerina’s Darling Bridal, paired with a soft, romantic veil that echoed the delicate flutter of aspen leaves in the breeze. The groom’s tailored slate suit was styled with a modern twist, featuring a bold floral collar in place of a traditional boutonnière. Bursting with warm fall blooms, the updated design added a fashion-forward flair to his look while also complementing the surroundings.
The bride’s bouquet, made entirely of blooms grown in the designer’s own flower garden, featured delicate dahlias, dancing cosmos and larkspur in shades of soft ivory and blush, adding a whimsical contrast to the bold ceremony setup. Inside, the reception embraced the same grounded palette, with warm-hued florals arranged against crisp linens and oversized windows framing the forested slopes. With panoramic alpine views, on-site lodging and multiple venue spaces to choose from, Purgatory Resort offers couples an unforgettable place to celebrate surrounded by Colorado’s most awe-inspiring landscapes.

Tasha and Brad were introduced by a mutual friend while Brad was in Denver on a work trip. The two met up mid-week at a WeWork and grabbed lunch together down the street. They quickly connected over their love of food, trying new restaurants and cooking at home. “A few days later, we went on our official first date at Tavernetta in Denver on their opening night. Shortly thereafter Brad was on a weekly flight to visit and we were soon inseparable,” Tasha recalled. After dating for almost six years, Brad proposed on a beach in Homer, Alaska, with Tasha’s friends secretly hiding to capture the moment.
With the help of Telluride Unveiled, Tasha and Brad planned a timeless and warm autumn wedding at Lower Golden Ledge featuring golden-hour views beneath the towering aspens trees. Tasha stunned in a strapless Sarah Seven gown with a floral corset bodice and flowing cape, paired with Lucchese boots and a high ponytail for an effortless Western twist. Meanwhile, Brad wore a sage green tuxedo-inspired suit with a stitched outline of their corgi, Banana Bread, hidden inside the jacket; a nod to their most loyal guest. Their ceremony took place beneath a sweeping floral arch by Alex Fairchild, bursting with autumn tones that mirrored the surrounding scenery. Guests were then welcomed into a cozy sailcloth tent for an Italian family-style dinner featuring handmade pasta filled with butternut squash in a brown butter and sage sauce by local chef Will Nolan. Instead of florals, Alex created food sculptures for the table centerpieces that aligned with the menu including tomatoes, olives, grapes, garlic, and bread. To make the dinner even more memorable, Tasha and Brad drove in their favorite wines from Teutonic Wine Company in Oregon. Instead of cake, the night ended with passed Sweet Cow Ice Cream cones so that guests never had to leave the dancefloor!

ADVICE TO FUTURE COUPLES
“We hired a wedding day content creator, Follow The Bride, that captured iPhone photos and video and uploaded it the same night so we were able to see hundreds of photos and videos the next morning to relive the day. Many of these moments were unposed and all unedited, so they are different than your photographer and videographer’s finished products. We wanted all our family and friends to enjoy the moment, so if you have the opportunity to have a vendor do this for you, we highly recommend!”
Seamless Celebrations, Stunning Locations
With 13 venues across the Front Range, Wedgewood Weddings pairs breathtaking settings with all-inclusive, fully customizable packages that save time, save money, and reduce stress. Our Event Experts coordinate every detail, from first look to last dance, so you can enjoy the moments that matter.
BOULDER - CORRIDA
Lucy & Jock
Believe it or not, Lucy shared, she and Jock met in real life on a warm spring day in Boulder. “They locked eyes from across the park picnic, and then everything was different,” Jock wrote on their wedding website. Lucy, dressed in a chic vintage outfit, immediately caught his attention. The two spent the afternoon sipping sangria and swapping stories, creating a connection that lingered long after Lucy returned to Seattle, Washington. After a few months of nightly FaceTime calls, Jock asked, “So was that a serious offer?” and soon booked a trip to visit Lucy. One visit turned into several, and before long, Jock made the move to Seattle. After relocating together to Washington D.C., he proposed during a weekend getaway to Boulder at the Bald Mountain Scenic Area. Lucy had a feeling it was coming, but Jock still managed to surprise her by hiring a photographer and secretly arranging a celebratory dinner with her family and best friend at SALT.
On a sun-drenched September day, Lucy and Jock exchanged vows on the rooftop terrace of Corrida, just blocks from the park where they first met. Lucy stunned in a vintage ivory Alexander McQueen gown with intricate lace detailing on the back paired with heirloom-inspired accessories and a playful gold mesh bag. Jock brought his own twist on formalwear with a black velvet Tom Ford dinner jacket and a custom bolo tie by Hells Canyon Bolo Company. Their ceremony featured sweeping mountain views and floral arrangements in soft pinks and punchy oranges. Inside, tables were set with locally grown blooms, sculptural glassware and personalized paper goods, including a custom floral motif inspired by the shirt Lucy wore the day they met. A mix of mid-century textures, artful menus and chain-stitched napkin place cards made each detail feel uniquely theirs. As the sun set over the Flatirons, guests enjoyed a regeneratively sourced feast followed by funfetti cake and late-night fries.
favorite thing purchased for your wedding day
My wedding dress. When I tried it on I knew I absolutely had to wear it. It fit me perfectly and I didn’t have to make a single alteration. The beading and silk are exquisite. I also love all the paper products designed for the wedding. Noelle is an amazing artist and I’m honored she contributed her talents to represent our love in the form of art.

VENDORS THAT WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND
Our planner Hillary Lowe went above and beyond every step of the way. She is an incredible designer (she worked at Nike as a designer, how cool is that!) and always keeps it real. She is super organized and a great project manager and incorporates the entire vision and design as she plans weddings. Hillary and Christina (Novella) came to Boulder with me and Jock in January 2024 to see the venue and visit potential vendors. It was a great trip and I appreciate Hillary so much.
Our florist, Novella, used all local flowers without any floral foam and composted her designs after the event. We rented plants from a local plant shop in Boulder, Terracotta, to warm up the space.
Our band, Haute Mobile Disco, prioritizes sustainability and our DJ Michelle Sinclair hosts a zero waste podcast. We danced the night away to Charlie XCX, M83 and Hot Chip. Our band included a saxophone, electric violin, electric drums and DJ.
My makeup artist Beth Walker uses only clean, eco-beauty products.
We incorporated chain stitched napkins by Portland artist Soothe Folk as place cards. Soothe Folk also designed our banners.
My friend Noelle Webster, a designer for Brooks Running, designed our letterpress stationery and letterpress dinner and bar menus. She drew a floral print to match the vintage floral printed shirt I wore the day my husband and I met - an amazing Easter egg.
Our letterpress menu cards on top of our dinner menus included our gratitude and information about the regeneratively farmed meal.
Plus, the food is insanely good - much better than typical wedding food. During our family style meal, our guests ate a variety of tapas: charcuterie cured by the restaurant, shishito peppers, grilled bread and caña de cabra cheese, and olives, sides: patatas bravas and salad and for mains: wild Alaskan halibut and American Wagyu NY strip steak whose website reads “Saving the world one steak at a time.” We served a late night snack of fries and slices of Funfetti cake, heavy on the frosting.
ADVICE TO FUTURE COUPLES
“If you have an idea for a wedding that sounds a little unconventional - go for it! Your wedding represents the love you two have for each other and can help share your story with your loved ones. Your wedding is not for the internet, it’s for you. So if you want to wear a dress that isn’t white or serve a plant-based meal, do it! Also, it’s okay to take your time selecting your vendors. Find vendors that you connect with and share your vision. Also, relax and have fun! Wedding planning brings out so many emotions. Remind yourself that this is a party. Get inspiration from the internet but know when to unfollow and not look at accounts. Comparison is the thief of joy.”

Bree and Michael planned a refined and romantic winter wedding weekend in Vail with 165 of their closest friends and family. The celebrations kicked off with a rehearsal dinner at Tavernetta followed by an unforgettable welcome party on Friday at the Express Lift Bar. Guests skied straight into the event still in their gear, greeted by a full-blown après-ski bash complete with a live DJ, CO2 cannons, glitter, fuzzy bucket hats, wild outfits and boozy hot chocolate. Bree wore white moon boots, a curve-hugging snowsuit and a fabulous fur coat, while Michael sported a custom T-shirt with Bree’s face on it, setting the tone for a night full of personality and flair.
favorite thing purchased for your wedding day
Not even for me but best purchase for the day were these light up cups that we had for the dance floor. They were these globe shaped cups with straws and lids that lit up different colors. People were dancing energetically so it was amazing to not worry about spilled drinks or broken glass on the dance floor plus the lights really contributed to a club-type vibe. Everybody loved them! Lindsey recommended these.

So much fun! Lindsey at ByBello really listened to the components that were important to us and made our vision come to life. We spent time upfront interviewing and selecting a planner whose style and vision aligned with our own which made the rest of the process really seamless.
Greg Garmin our wedding DJ spent so much time with us understanding and customizing our vision. He DJ’d après on Friday and the wedding Saturday and made both events distinct and perfect. The dance floor/ music was the most important component for us and Greg understood the assignment.
Reinhart
The ceremony took place at The Hythe Vail beneath a chuppah draped with Bree’s grandfather’s tallis, a treasured family heirloom dating back 70 years. Bree wore a strapless Lihi Hod gown and a Laura Jayne veil, while Michael donned a custom tux by J.Hilburn with Gucci shoes. After exchanging heartfelt vows, the celebration continued inside where Lindsey of ByBello Events brought their reception vision to life with candlelight and cozy lounge vignettes that captured the quiet elegance of the season. After a seated dinner, guests packed the dance floor as the DJ played their favorite songs, with Bree leading the crowd to “Pink Pony Club” and Michael getting lifted for “Higher” by Creed.
ADVICE TO FUTURE COUPLES
“Despite all the planning, preparation, and organization, some things inevitably didn’t go as expected on the day of the wedding. Regardless, it was still the very best day of our lives. Don’t sweat the small stuff, there is nothing more special than having your favorite people celebrating your love.”

Katelyn & Matt
Katelyn, a physical therapist, and Matt, an orthopedic surgeon, met through work via a mutual friend, Katelyn’s former boss. After three years of dating, Matt planned a proposal that was unforgettable. Katelyn relived the moment, sharing, “We always go to Ouray for my birthday, Feb 19, which falls around Valentine’s Day. That first night we got there, after coming back from dinner the home was filled with lit candles, rose petals sprinkled on the floor and up the steps, and vases of roses all over. At first, I wasn’t sure what it was for, perhaps my birthday, or maybe Valentine’s Day. It wasn’t until I got up the steps and turned around when he took my hands and got down on one knee, that I realized it was for our engagement!” The newly engaged couple spent the rest of the evening celebrating by the fire with a bottle of wine.
Katelyn and Matt planned an intimate and romantic fall wedding in the mountains for just 35 of their closest friends and family. The ceremony, overlooking the San Juan Mountains, featured a floral ground arch beautifully framing the edge of the cliffside lawn. Golden aspen leaves swayed in the breeze and raindrops gently fell as Katelyn walked down the aisle, opting to forgo an umbrella in favor of fully embracing the moment. “I wanted to take it all in, enjoy every moment that was meant to be, even if that meant rain,” she shared. “It was such an intimate feeling that’s hard to explain, feeling the light rain hitting you as you’re walking down the aisle to marry the love of your life. Then when I saw him and his smile, it was truly the moment I had dreamt and prayed of for so long.” Right after the opening prayer, the rain stopped and the clouds lifted, a moment Katelyn describes as a clear sign that God was present in their love story.

For this look I wanted it to be fun, a little sexy and easy to dance in.
I chose an off the rack dress from Heiress Beverly Hills that was made of lace and had a corset top and a thigh split. For my accessories, I wanted to add in pops of amethyst purple. I wore a vintage amethyst Christian Dior necklace and earrings, my something blue sapphire and diamond bracelet from my mother and a purple Prada clutch. My heels were Christian Louboutin, Me Dolly Metalilic Red Slide Sandals.

I would say just in general with everything, Emily Smith, our wedding planner, was absolutely incredible to work with. She is down to earth, fun to work with and so professional. She brought our vision to reality, better than we ever could have imagined. Many of our guests shared how amazing she was and how great of a job she did.
ADVICE TO FUTURE COUPLES
“Enjoy the day! It sounds cliché, but it’s easy to get caught up in all the uncontrollables and small things. Nothing matters other than the way you felt during the day. Don’t let rain, weather or whatever else it may be, interfere with the joy of the day and what it symbolizes. You will never regret being fully present and joyful during your wedding day.”
Afterward, inside The Western, their reception was draped in moody fall tones with arrangements of rust, ivory and amethyst hues that popped against candlelight. Hand-illustrated napkins showcased their beloved dogs, Opie and Jager, who also signed the marriage certificate as honorary witnesses. Espresso martinis added a touch of sophisticated flair to the cozy celebration, while Katelyn’s reception look turned heads. She slipped into a lace gown from Heiress Beverly Hills featuring a corset bodice and thigh-high slit, perfect for dancing the night away to a live band.
The day after the wedding, the couple treated guests to a farewell Jeep ride and mountain picnic, an experience that quickly became a crowd favorite. Everyone caravaned up to Yankee Boy Basin in a fleet of Jeeps, the newlyweds’ adorned with a floral “Just Married” sign. Awaiting them at the summit was a dreamy fall spread of cozy blankets, overflowing picnic baskets and hand-painted Veuve champagne bottles.

Katelyn & Trent
Katelyn and Trent met when they both swiped left on Bumble. What started as a profile that seemed too good to be true, a tall, former basketball player with a golden retriever and a love for the outdoors, quickly became the real deal when Trent sent Katelyn a DM on Instagram. Their first date at Hapa Sushi was one of those rare moments when you just know you’ve found your soulmate. From then on, weekends were filled with bike rides, brunch and walks with their pups, Ollie and Lily. A year and a half later, Katelyn and Trent escaped to Santa Teresa, Costa Rica, for a sun-soaked getaway. After a full day of activities, the two enjoyed a nice stroll along the beach. With the sun setting on the horizon and their closest friends secretly capturing the moment, Trent got down on one knee to ask Katelyn to marry him. She, of course, said “Yes!”
Katelyn and Trent planned a modern Western celebration at Patak Ranch in Snowmass, welcoming 100 of their closest friends and family. With the golden aspens as their backdrop, Trent looked handsome in a custom tweed suit accented with a bolo tie, while Katelyn radiated elegance in a lace gown topped with a cream Stetson hat. Guests gathered for the ceremony framed by sweeping mountain views before transitioning into an evening designed around connection and shared experiences, including a spiritual fire ceremony inspired by the couple’s travels to Costa Rica. “We finished the fire ceremony filled with depth and tears, and then with those raw emotions and close ties, moved straight onto the dance floor and danced our asses off,” Katelyn shared. The day was the perfect balance of intention and celebration: wild, refined and utterly unforgettable.
ADVICE TO FUTURE COUPLES
“One piece of advice that our friend gave us leading up to our wedding weekend was that everything moves so fast. Before you get fully consumed in it, take time to find 10-15 minutes to spend as a couple away from everyone…just be there for the two of you, admire what you’ve created. Laugh at the craziness, feel your emotions and just be…It will fill your cup just right before the show takes over. Truly one of our favorite moments looking back was the 10 minutes we snuck away right before our first event welcome party on Friday, cheers’d with some champagne and knew we were about to have the best weekend ever.”

We have to give a big shoutout to DJ Savy from Aspen Entertainment who literally brought our A/V vision to life. After a ton of communication and visits to the venue before the wedding, Savy and his crew thought through every detail of the lighting, electricity, sound, microphones - EVERYTHING.
He was so great to work with and really cared about the little details that made our night go off without a hitch.

Landon & Miller
Landon and Miller met on the very first day of law school. Looking back on the moment, Landon shares that her college best friend, also a lifelong friend of Miller’s, mentioned that morning there was a guy in their class she just had to meet. Just a few hours later, Miller sat directly behind her in their Contracts class, and from that point on, everything changed. Two years later, Miller proposed at Landon’s favorite place in the world, her family’s farm just outside Opelika, Alabama. “As we were heading home for Easter weekend, we made a stop at the farm. Miller asked me to go with him to my favorite spot, the dam overlooking the ponds and my grandparents’ old home. It was there, in that deeply meaningful place, that he got down on one knee. Moments later, our closest family and friends came racing up the driveway, honking and cheering to kick off the celebration. It was a beautiful full-circle moment because my parents had also gotten engaged at the farm over 33 years ago.”
With the help of Anna Wynn Event Design, Landon and Miller planned a luxurious winter wedding in Aspen with 130 of their closest friends and family. The celebration kicked off with a laid-back Colorado-Western themed welcome party followed by a high-energy après-ski party atop Aspen Mountain at Eleven212, complete with Veuve, shotskis filled with tequila and dancing in snow boots. The festivities didn’t stop after the vows either, the newlyweds hosted a casual lunch at Home Team BBQ the following day, where guests could grab a drink, enjoy live music and catch the Final Four basketball games. “That was one of the best parts of choosing a destination wedding, the party just kept going!” Landon says.
The ceremony was held at Aspen Community Church, where one of Landon’s dad’s best friends officiated the couple’s traditional Christian service. Landon wore a stunning lace gown by Dana Harel, paired with a vintage white mink coat passed down from her mother-inlaw and Miron Crosby cowgirl boots. After riding up the Silver Queen Gondola for a magical first look surrounded by snow-covered mountains, the couple joined their loved ones at Cache Cache, a French restaurant owned by close family friends, for an elegant reception. Guests indulged during cocktail hour with duck confit tacos, crab cakes and 7X beef meatballs, followed by a three-course dinner with standout dishes like Colorado rack of lamb and wild black sea bass. For the dance party, she slipped into a sparkly mini by Rachel Gilbert. “It was the perfect moment to surprise everyone and kick off the dance party,” Landon says. And one of the most heartfelt memories of the weekend? Wearing her grandmother’s wedding bands as her “something old” and sharing a father-daughter dance to “A Bushel and a Peck,” which ended with a surprise voicemail of her grandmother singing the very same tune. “There wasn’t a dry eye in sight,” Landon recalls.

VENDORS THAT WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND
Without a doubt, Cache Cache. The owners of Cache Cache are old friends turned family. They, along with all of their staff, made us, and all our guests, feel that warmth throughout the entire evening. The team was incredible: professional, yet full of fun and personality.
The food and drinks were absolutely unforgettable. In a delightful coincidence, we even ran into one of the waiters we’ve known for years, who was getting in a last run on the slopes just as we finished our first look!
ADVICE TO FUTURE COUPLES
“Enjoy the engagement season—it’s brief and precious. Have fun, listen, and be patient!”

Lindsay & Nathan
Lindsay and Nathan met in Economics class while attending business school at the University of Texas at Austin. With fate on their side, Lindsay took the seat next to Nathan and sparked a conversation with a simple clarifying question and the rest was history as Lindsay shared. Almost five years later, Nathan planned a surprise proposal during a summer getaway to Big Sky, Montana, finding a secluded spot along the Gallatin River and even coordinating a hidden photographer to capture the moment. A storm was rolling in, but he played it cool, joking that the photographer was just there for the weather. Lindsay and Nathan went on to welcome 125 guests to Aspen for a fall wedding weekend that celebrated the natural beauty of Maurin Ranch.
With a full weekend of festivities planned, the celebration began on Thursday with an intimate rehearsal dinner at Acquolina followed by cocktails at Las Montañas, both infused with a cowboy chic vibe. On Friday, guests gathered for a welcome party where they sipped drinks and mingled under the Colorado sky before the big celebration. Drawing from a palette of soft greens and dusty blues, the design complemented the surrounding fall foliage rather than competing with it. Florist Amy Lauren brought the landscape to life with lush, organic arrangements that lined the ceremony aisle, featuring hydrangeas, garden roses, lisianthus and wisps of textural greenery. Inside the tent, the reception design was inspired by a circular sage green custom bar wrapped in Aspen logs by Radix Creative Design House. Towering aspen trees and climbing vines framed the space, creating a refined yet organic atmosphere accented by antler chandeliers and luxurious patterned linens. Guests were treated to a Hillstone-inspired dinner curated by Catering by Design, complete with Macho salad, spinach artichoke dip, sliders and tableside fries, before dancing the night away to the sounds of Mannequin the Band under the glow of a twinkle-lit canopy.
