Ah, there’s no better place in the winter than Colorado. One day it can be 25 degrees, fluffy snow falling throughout the state. Another, the temperature can swing 30 degrees, snow is melted, the sun – blinding, as if it were the middle of June.
We have it pretty easy here in this gorgeous Rocky Mountain State, but the unpredictable weather can make things a little tricky for soon-to-be brides planning their Colorado winter wedding. Just like any day of the year, you literally don’t know what temperature or conditions you are going to

It’s September 21, which is the last day of summer… so it’s basically Fall.
It’s totally valid for everyone to ditch the shorts, throw on leggings with boots, and go to the closest Starbucks to order a venti PSL. 
Serious talk though, the leaves are changing in the Rocky Mountains and it’s absolutely beautiful! As of today, the temperature is FINALLY dropping (below 90 degrees, haha) and Colorado residents are getting a nice refresher on what it’s like to have a chill in the air. After the scorching summer, we’ve had, everyone seems to be craving that 4 letter word… F-A-L-L. Some

Colorado winters are so unpredictable – January especially.
In the first month of 2018, the weather treated us just right. For this ideal Colorado elopement, we embraced the beautiful blue skies and slight Rocky Mountain breeze. Most of the day was spent on the peaks in Boulder… not too shabby. Bride and groom, Brittany and Jordan, dressed to the nines and hiked the Boulder Flat Irons all for the sake of some glorious mountain top images.

I welcome you to enjoy our tribute to one of Hollywood’s most cherished icons, Audrey Hepburn…

Imagine if Audrey Hepburn were to be married in Denver…
at the Brown Palace…

A few words of wisdom to keep in your back pocket from the glamorous, playful legend:

“Success is like reaching an important birthday and finding you’re exactly the same.”

“Paris is always a good idea.”

“The most important thing is to enjoy your life -to be happy- that is all that matters.”

“I never think of myself as an icon. What is in other people’s minds is not in mine. I just do my thing.”
