Bohemian Chic Mountain Wedding at Devil’s Thumb Ranch

October 14, 2019 | Junebug Weddings

Calling all boho babes! Kellie and Tommy’s wedding at Devil’s Thumb Ranch showcased the beauty of Colorado and added a glamorous, rustic twist to traditional bohemian chic style. Calluna Events planned this couple’s day and assembled the most amazing team of vendors to pull it all off! Project Floral infused lots of greenery and, our favorite, pampas grass with touches of simple white roses that added a little romance to the wooden altar at Devil’s Thumb Ranch’s ceremony site. The couple loved that their family and friends could all stay on-property at the resort — and, we must note that their wedding party looked top-notch dressed in all black with the girls dresses custom made by designer Kathryn Wen and the guys in Alain Dupetit. We are hopelessly in love with every moment of Kellie and Tommy’s day and the way Lindsey Boluyt captured it all!

The Couple:

Kellie & Tommy

The Wedding:

Devil’s Thumb Ranch, Tabernash, Colorado

Wedding planning advice from the groom: Start the day with a run or some type of short workout. Really helps to get the blood pumping! Eat a good, healthy, big breakfast & have some little snacks throughout the day. Take a couple minutes after the ceremony where it’s you two only, no wedding planner, no photographer, and just talk & express how you’re feeling.

Wedding planning advice from the bride: Stay organized, and have fun with the process! This should be the most exciting day, besides having children, so don’t get overwhelmed with the mundane and constant choices that you need to make. They will be never ending, but work as a team, your partner. Learn how to delegate tasks and to let go of things that aren’t important to you. For me, it was the logistics like coordinating the transportation, wedding bags for the guests, band, wood guest book that was beetle kill would with our wolf dog wedding emblem, etc. I focused on the decor and food mainly. 

I always knew I wanted my hair down and a fit and flare dress that was flattering. My bridesmaids wore my best friends new line, called Kathryn Wen, that does custom dresses for bridesmaids.

The atmosphere of Devil’s Thumb Ranch was absolutely breathtaking, as it sits on the bottom of the vista and is surrounded by a beautiful mountain range and has horses in the background with a criss cross boho wood backdrop. Also, having everyone staying at the location was nice for us to see people through out the weekend so that we could chat with everyone and have little moments rather than feeling overwhelmed on our big day.

Lindsey was such a dream to work with through out the entire process. She arrived in a grounded calm yet directive state that allowed all of us to feel at ease through out the day. My favorite photo is the one of us walking away because it solidifies us as a couple that will always lean on each other in the hardest of times, and be together enjoying each others company in the most joyful times.

Our table numbers were actual cities that we had traveled together (London, Barcelona, Prague, Amsterdam, Lincoln, NE, Cabo San Lucas, Vail, Sinapore, Thailand, Bali, Maui, Hawaii, etc.).

Blush and Gold Vintage-Inspired Ipswitch Wedding at The Crane Estate

October 13, 2019 | Junebug Weddings

Ashley and Tim are the quintessential elegant couple who wanted every detail of their wedding at The Crane Estate to emit those classy, vintage vibes! Along with the help of Katydyd Events, we think they totally pulled it off! We’re totally loving how Twig & Briar made Ashley’s vision come to life — creating garden-inspired, lush, and romantic florals in tones of blush, mauve, and taupe. The couple purchased all of the antique mirrors by themselves and adorned each with elegant gold calligraphy script from Letter and Kate. Their mirror table numbers were a DIY success! We can’t wait for you to swoon over every dreamy photo Anna Elizabeth Photography captured of this classic, vintage inspired day at The Crane Estate!

The Couple:

Ashley & Tim

The Wedding:

The Crane Estate, Ipswich, Massachusetts

About the bride’s favorite photos from their wedding: This is SO tough to answer because we love all of them! I think it would have to be one of our first look photos. There is one where you can see the complete shock and excitement on Tim’s face, and it just brings me back to that moment every time I see it.

We wanted to be able to look back on the day and feel classic and timeless. I always knew I wanted a long sleeve dress that was backless or had an illusion back. I used pins in my hair that my mother ordered for me, and earrings that I got from Olive & Piper that went really well together.

We were looking for a venue that had a vintage feel and was also by the ocean. We only looked at one other venue, and we knew right away The Crane Estate was the one for us. Having a place to get married that had such a beautiful ceremony spot was amazing. There really is no other way to go besides vintage with a venue like the one we chose. We wanted to feel classic and timeless. I know looking back even 50 years from now, we will look at these photos and still love everything about that day.

The bridesmaids outfits were something I really thought long and hard about. I don’t love the idea of traditional bridesmaids dresses. They are typically very expensive, don’t fit well, and are worn only one time. I wanted them to wear something they could potentially wear again, had a vintage feel, and that could look great on everyone. I LOVED the idea of a top and a skirt instead of a dress. One of my bridesmaids suggested a belt a few days before the wedding and it was the perfect addition that tied their outfits together.

Our wedding planner Katie made planning the wedding a breeze. We both agree that it was the most well spent money of our entire wedding. She completely understood our vision, and recommended vendors that she knew would be perfect for us. We felt almost zero stress during the planning process, and were really able to enjoy all aspects of the day knowing that she would make everything come together seamlessly.

We found some gold mirrors (Facebook marketplace score), and hired someone to do calligraphy on them. They could not have come out better. We also had custom place cards made (ordered off Etsy). We then ordered a custom wax seal and attached the place cards with gold wax to one of the mirrors. It was a joint project (Tim did the wax seals, and I attached everything to the mirror) that was quite time consuming, but we were so pleased with the way it came out!
