It’s kind of blowing my mind today just how close to the actual inspiration board our team of vendors got. It’s almost uncanny. It’s the reason that I am such a huge advocate of the inspiration board. There is no better way to dream up your wedding day style, to hone your vision, to come up with a concept and edit in a way that everything makes sense. There is no better way to show your vendors all of the wedding beauty in your head and make sure that they are on the same page. And today’s shoot, photographed by James Christianson and designed by RSVP Shindig, just shows how invaluable that little board can be!





The champagne tower of glasses we knew we had to do. We not only had the perfect backdrop with the clock face but we wanted to make sure that they popped with color. So we added a rim of pink sugar. Who wouldn’t love to have a champagne tower of glasses at their wedding? It’s a trend we hope to see make it’s way back.
Anna Be had more dresses than we could even use. It was if Annie knew what dresses Anna Be had on hand. The Vera Wang dress in our shoot showed that you can be romantic, glamorous yet even modern. Known as the Sex and the City dress it was stunning. Sweet Letter Press ran with the pink for the menu cards, invite, and escort cards. The pink of the stationery kept the feeling of romance yet sophistication. We hope you love the end result as much as we all did. I know I can’t wait to hear what Annie thinks! Thank you so much!

As the owner of this new Denver venue, I couldn't be more pleased with how gorgeous this piece turned out! It was apparent at the photo shoot that a dream team of vendors had been assembled. I will recommend them all to my future brides!
I am obsessed with this installment of "From Inspiration to Reality"! Seriously, every detail is so incredible, from the inspiration board and the color palette, to the amazing gown and the Champagne tower...love, love, love! Thanks so much Abby for sharing this (and for your helpful "how to translate this to reality" ideas)!
this is totally not my style but I love it just the same...incredibly well done. I love the shot of the champagne tower!!!
LOVE these posts! I actually chose these colors for my upcoming wedding because of this inspiration board! Every detail is beyond incredible! So excited!
Beautiful work! Loving the pink and black...it's subtle but dramatic and so chic. Also, thanks for featuring Denver vendors.
This is truly stunning! The photography is flawless, and you truly brought to life this elegant inspiration board.
Btw, who is the hair & makeup artist? They did such an amazing job.
