April 30, 2012 | editorial team

Happy Monday morning! I’m starting the week off with the perfect Monday medicine…Vanessa and David’s colorful, joyful Colorado wedding day that was held at stunning Beaver Creek Resort in the Rockies. The thrilling mountain vistas and brilliant hues they selected for their wedding day fashion and decor combined to create a happy celebration of their love for each other and the outdoors!

What three adjectives best describe your wedding day? Simple, elegant and fun

Was there a decor theme that ran through your wedding? What was the inspiration for that particular idea and how did it reflect you as a couple? We got married in the mountains because we both love it there and wanted to show our love of the outdoors to our guests, who were mostly from out of town. We also wanted to keep the wedding simple and not stuffy. But we made sure it was really fun too, with the help of our ten-piece band flown in from Chicago! Given the natural beauty, we kept our flowers simple and picked colors, like pinks and oranges, that would pop out on the green hills.

What were some of the different ways you used decor elements to create the beautiful, cohesive event you were envisioning? We had small vases with flowers running down the table, not trying to compete with the mountains, but add some color to the table. We served lamb, trout and chicken…local Colorado food that Beanos is known for.

Looking back, do you have a favorite project or successful decor idea from your wedding? Tell us what you loved about it! Looking back, I just love the setting we picked. Our wedding was so special, and I think having the reception half-way up the mountain at a cabin was perfect. Also, the white lights in the clear tent for dancing looked great!

The Goals: For Hayley and Scott, choosing amazing food and music were at the forefront of their wedding planning process. They hoped to create a fantastic party where their friends and family could celebrate the joining of their two families, and the SLS Hotel at Beverly Hills was the ideal venue for their goals. The food was decadent, the band was rocking, and the decor chic!

The Design: The couple’s traditional wedding ceremony was held outdoors at the SLS Hotel, and featured a sleek white chuppah with lush arrangements of orange roses and calla lilies. On display was the beautiful Ketubah that Scott’s sister made for them, which is now a treasured memento of their wedding day.

Slate gray, orange, and lime green provided the bright, sassy wedding color palette the couple desired, and brilliant blue uplighting added an edgy look to the reception. Mirrors and vintage vases brought a touch of glamour to the party and their four-tiered white fondant wedding cake from Fantasy Frostings was decorated in an elegant orange poppy design.

The Look: Hayley said she initially had a hard time selecting a dress, but once she found her silk Priscilla of Boston ball gown she fell in love! From there, she was inspired by classic Hollywood and selected hair, make-up, and jewelry that perfectly complimented the look. She adored how make-up artist Geoffrey Rodriguez made her feel so amazing and beautiful! For her bridesmaids, she chose floor-length slate grey dresses and paired them with Stella and Dot bracelets with a vintage feel.

The Moments: Hayley said, “The whole night was a dream! Seeing my husband for the first time really put me at ease and set such a warm and relaxed tone for the rest of the event. And our vows were just so romantic…expressing your deepest emotions and feelings about one another in front of everyone you care about was magical. Right after the ceremony we were left alone in a room for the first time as man and wife. We were able to reflect on what just happened. We re-read our vows to one another so we could really soak it in. I would recommend to everyone that they have that moment. Take some time alone as a couple to reflect before you head into the reception.” They also treasured the sentimental speeches both of their parents made, and loved having their first sip of wine together out of Scott’s Bar Mitzvah cup.
