Colorado Woodland Wedding with a 1920s Twist

March 6, 2017 | Junebug Weddings

Elizabeth and Kramer’s wedding blended majestic Colorado woodland vibes with glamorous 1920s flair! The couple has family roots in Colorado’s Estes Park area, so they had their ceremony in the picturesque Camp St. Malo, also known as Chapel on the Rock. We love how the couple chose a color palette of earth tones and deep fig to complement their reception venue’s natural scenery, and we can’t get enough of A Florae‘s protea-heavy floral design that reflected that palette! Jordan Voth Photography captured every moment of Elizabeth and Kramer’s Colorado woodland wedding, including the bridal party’s splash around the St. Vrain River during the reception.

The Couple:

Elizabeth and Kramer

The Wedding:

Camp St. MaloRiver Bend, Lyons, Colorado

From the groom: I’ve driven past St. Malo hundreds of times in my life and each time, I told myself that if I ever was lucky enough to find love, I would get married in that chapel. My wife and I were one of the dozens of couples that are married in that chapel each year. The setting is stunning, but the reason I wanted to be married at St. Malo runs deeper than that. My family has been tied to Estes Park and the surrounding area for over one hundred years. We have been lucky enough to have cabins that have remained in our family since the late 1880s. Generations have come and gone, however, we all have shared a common love of this magical place. It only made sense to celebrate the best day of my life in my favorite place in the world.

We wanted to create a romantic and fun evening that felt like a 1920’s party tucked away in the woods. I fell in love with Riverbend immediately. I never really dreamed of my wedding as a little girl but as I grew older, I had this vision of a huge party in the forest with twinkling lights and candles. The Riverbend made my little dream a reality. It is nestled right next to the St. Vrain river and has these towering red rocks overlooking the area. The space itself is sprawling grass with beautiful and unique sections for various parts of the evening. The dance floor was right next to the river. It felt elegant and dramatic.

We wanted a 1920’s party feel with elements of Colorado mixed in. An elegant and dreamy feel. Ethereal and bohemian meets a 1920’s party.

Our wedding colors were earth tones and LOTS of various shades of green. The main colors were fig, olive, and emerald. The bouquets were full of texture and various greenery. We wanted to enhance the beauty of Colorado and really bring out the exquisite and majestic feel of the mountains.

Modern Romantic Dinner Party Wedding at The Ravington

March 5, 2017 | Junebug Weddings

Modern romance gets a DIY twist in Blake and Clayton’s wedding at The Ravington. From the beginning, the couple knew they wanted to create an upscale yet relaxed dinner party vibe. So they filled the historic venue with lush florals, modern signage, marquee letters, and even a donut peg board! The bride’s getting ready photos with her girls gave us some serious squad goals: from their “first look” reactions to their heartfelt prayer before the ceremony. And let’s not forget their perfectly mismatched dresses in shades of pink, which complemented the bride’s flowing beaded-top dress from a&bé bridal. Photographer Abby Roses had us from the first photo, and the video from Anna Schroeder Visuals was the cherry on top!

The Couple:

Blake and Clayton

The Wedding:

The Ravington, Bentonville, Arkansas

The most important thing to us was to make the day a celebration of all the people who have impacted our life, both individually and together. We wanted to be able to walk down the aisle and lock eyes with people and know the significant role they’ve had in our lives. We wanted to make our wedding day a celebration of those people – the people we have to thank for who we are today. We knew we wanted a smaller wedding, to be able to make it a more beautiful, detailed, and intimate experience than we could have if we had a larger wedding.

We DIY’d quite a few things, but my favorite DIY addition was our invitation suite. I’m a graphic designer, so it was an easy decision to design our own invitations. We got them printed by a local printer on watercolor paper and then dip-dyed each invitation and RSVP card individually in pink and blue dye (our wedding colors). Watercolor warps, so I had to iron each invitation and RSVP card individually!! Clayton had a leather stamp made with our initials that matched the invitations. On every invitation suite, we tied on a little customized leather piece. They were a labor of love, but definitely one of my favorite touches!

The most memorable part of the day was, hands down, walking down the aisle and seeing Clayton for the first time during the ceremony. We went back and fourth on whether or not we wanted to do a first look, and actually ended up having to call each guest individually to change the time because we changed our minds last minute. The anticipation and weight of that moment was better than I could’ve ever imagined. So worth it!

From the get go, we knew that we wanted a smaller wedding. When our wedding planner asked us what we wanted the feel to be, my immediate answer was ‘a big dinner party’. I wanted the people there to know that while our day is of course a celebration of us, its also a celebration of everyone who has been a part of our lives, how they’ve impacted us. I wanted it to be upscale, but still relaxed and fun. With those things in mind, we went for a combination of romantic + modern. It ended up being the perfect mix!

I loved being hands on with the elements of the day. We made our own Donut Peg Board, customized our coffee cups, and my dad made the letter boards and sidewalk signs. 

At the reception, we had two favor stations: Cake To-Go and Bouquets To-Go! For the cake, instead of having one big cake, we did 5 smaller cakes, all different flavors. We had personalized Chinese to-go boxes that we boxed up cake in + a little wooden spoon for people to take for their post-wedding snack! We also had a to-go station for all the leftover flowers from the tables so they didn’t go to waste. They were all wrapped up for people to take as they left!
