Colorado Wedding by Erin Hearts Court
They say that rain on your wedding day is good luck but for this couple, it also created a totally cozy, romantic day. Just as they began their vows, the skies opened up and it made for maybe the best wedding kiss EVER which was caught to absolute perfection by Erin Hearts Court. The whole wedding is completely adorable from the pine cone adorned cake to the pashmina wrapped bridesmaids. This is what we call Colorado chic designed ever so beautifully by Emily Campbell of Bella Design & Planning and we give it two big thumbs up. Click here to see all the rainy day details.

From the Bride…
Everything was memorable! The day was spectacular. I have been going to Keystone with my family for years and Dan and I visit Breckenridge often so Colorado was a perfect place for us to get hitched. We even got engaged in Denver! The day was spectacular! After a gloomy, rainy start, the day brightened and every single second was perfection! It truly does take a village, because my parents, siblings, and bridesmaids all rallied to help us finish a million little details that day. Seeing Dan for our first look was amazing. We were both so excited and happy, and he looked incredibly handsome. The ceremony was unreal. Our dear friend, Granville, was our officiant. He crafted the most beautiful, funny, and touching ceremony. We asked our guests to send us newlywed advice on their reply cards, and Granville made this a really entertaining and heartfelt part of the ceremony. Dan’s sister, Jennifer, sang us an old marriage hymn, a capella. The rain began to fall during our vows, which was so exhilarating and funny! The cocktail party after the ceremony was fabulous. All 97 guests piled into the 120 year old ski lodge to escape the rain, nibbling on the best gourmet hors d’oeuvres on the planet – the mini beef on weck sliders (a Buffalo, NY specialty), Wisconsin bratwurst pig in the blankets, and prosciutto wrapped cantaloupe were our favorites! Everyone was relaxed and happy, sipping sangria while the Spring Creek Bluegrass Band rocked away.
Our reception was gorgeous. I always wanted a restaurant reception in a place with a lot of character. The warm, classic interior was the perfect setting. I wanted the room to glow with candlelight while channeling simple, summer elegance, so we chose lanterns and elegant white hydrangea centerpieces. Our amazing wedding planner, Emily Campbell, and her team set up the room perfectly. We did a surprise in our first dance, which was a blast to do for everyone. And, my hilarious brother Kevin, planned a surprise Lady Gaga ‘Bad Romance’ flash mob dance with all of the bridesmaids. Incredible! We served whoopie pies and the most divine fudgey Bailey’s cupcakes – a perfect sweet note to end the night. We awoke in the morning to 2″ of snow!
We remember so many lovely details from the entire weekend and we’re so grateful to experience this special occasion in our lives with all of our favorite people. I want to personally thank my parents for everything they did to help us have a perfect wedding day. They did so much for us during the months, days, and hours leading up to “I Do”. Also, a heartfelt thank you to Erin & Courtney for capturing our day so beautifully. It was a genuine pleasure to work with them.

Hi Kylie! My sister, Sara, did the chalkboard sign and cake toppers. For the chalkboard, she used chalkboard pens. She literally whipped it up in ten minutes before the wedding!!
Your wedding looks like it was beautiful!! I never comment on anybody's wedding pictures and believe me, I look at a lot of pictures! I love how you just kept going when it started raining and kept a good attitude! I probably would have cried!! I really love all the bridesmaid's shawls. That's very unique and so cute! Good luck in your marriage and thanks for sharing!!

Lindsay is wearing one of my wedding-dress-shortlists as well!!
breathtaking!!
and i love the rain in between!
Beautiful location. I really like the colorful bouquets and her dress is gorgeous. Love the umbrella shots, it is great to see the little bit rain didn't dampen the spirit of the wedding at all.
Could you please tell me where you found the great lanterns?! Your wedding was absolutely beautiful!!
http://www.gotweddingfavors.com " rel="nofollow">Personalized ribbon tip - make
sure when you order personalized ribbons, that it is double faced beaded edge ribbon 3/8th inch or 5/8 inch. That means the
ribbon is shiny on both sides of the ribbon and won't fray at the edges when
cut. It can be cost effective to use by the roll uncut also. Good luck!
Hi Sue! We got the lanterns from IKEA. They're the Borrby lantern. The candles are from there as well and they burn FOREVER! I believe you can only get the lanterns in the store, not online. And, if any of you are looking for a fabulous wedding location, Summit County in Colorado offers a ton of fabulous spots. Emily Campbell of Bella Events & Planning is your gal. She and her team were a dream to work with!
The tags on the cake are adorable! Where did you get them?
Hi Kim! My sister, Sara Millsap, hand painted the wooden cake buttons. Aren't they adorable?! She also made the entire wedding party handmade buttons with their nicknames and their role in the wedding party. Dan and I saved our pins and they're showcased in a tiny shadow box on our wall now. We loved the pop of color on everyones' lapels!
Hi!
I love your wedding! Where do you get the mugs with your initials on them?
Hi Sarah Martin! This is a very late reply, but in case you ever check back, the mugs are from Anthropologie, and they seem to have them in stock most of the time. I hope that helps! We have them displayed in our house now holding tiny herb pots. Good luck!
Such a special romantic wedding....my daughter just bought that dress and is planning an outdoor wedding as well. She had a few doubts about this dress in an outdoor setting, but I think your pictures will confirm that it works very nicely....absolutely love lt! Thanks for sharing....our wedding will be in the Texas hill country, so we think will be as lovely as Colorado!!!!!
