Rustic Mountain Wedding at the Dunton Hot Springs in Colorado

August 12, 2014 | Junebug Weddings

Magnificently photographed by Chowen Photography, this rustic mountain wedding at the Dunton Hot Springs is both charming and luxurious. From the bride’s original take on her wedding day look to the eclectic decor, everything about Brenna and Andrew’s wedding feels like a breath of fresh mountain air.

The Couple: Brenna and Andrew

The Wedding: Dunton Hot Springs, Dolores, Colorado

The Inspiration: I would describe the inspiration as “rough luxe”. I wanted it to be rustic and warm, very nostalgic and rural without being too western or campy. I love the juxtaposition of weather materials like worn wood, weathered stone, pitted antler and bone with soft linen, burnished gold, and polished saddle leather. I love texture and nuance, and we wanted our wedding to be very lush and very environmental.

Fun Destination Wedding at Casa China Blanca in Puerto Vallerta, Mexico

Fun and joyful from start to finish, Evita and Alex’s destination wedding in Puerto Vallerta, Mexico is such a blast! Complete with a JT music video featuring the groom and his entourage, these newlyweds gave their guests an incredible night to remember, and it was all captured by the talented Elizabeth Lloyd.

The Couple: Evita and Alex

The Wedding: 4.26.2013 – Casa China Blanca, Puerto Vallerta, Mexico

The Inspiration: Alex and I are total film buffs, in fact we met in a college film course over seven years ago! Since then, film has been a big part of our relationship and when it came to figuring out the aesthetics for our wedding day, we knew we wanted something breathtaking and grand that would make our guests feel like they had been transported into a scene out of a movie. With the guidance of the incredible Dazzling Details, we found a venue that fit our vision perfectly – in fact we realized later we had SEEN our venue in movies in the past! Dazzling brought to life the vintage chic wedding I had dreamed of, as well as created incredible custom marquee lights as another nod back to our love of film.
