Keystone Mountain, Colorado Wedding by Leah McCormick
I spy with my little eye…the most ADORABLE couple with their perfectly styled wedding in tow. The bright colors, the picturesque views, the whimsical fashion, it all has me beaming from ear to ear. And can we please discuss the wondrous talents of Leah McCormick who managed to capture every stinkin cute moment atop this Colorado mountain? We have nothing but total LOVE for this wedding. Stop by the gallery for even more of the day.
see all the picture perfect details here!
As if this wedding wasn’t already off the hook in terms of style and adorableness, we got our hot little hands on the cutest video invitation made by the groom himself. It is a must watch for sure…
We got engaged about 5 days before making a move from New York City to Colorado, which was a great plan to keep us busy upon arriving in a much slower and quieter environment that is Colorado. We had so many New York friends that we thought it might be amazing for everyone to experience the nature and landscape of Colorado, as well as to experience our new life in the state. We decided there couldn’t be a better place for this and for us than on top of a mountain in Colroado! We decided it would be fun for us and our guests to theme everything “western”. For the rehearsal dinner we had a wagon ride and cowboy cookout. For the wedding favors we also gave out Colorado chocolates and high altitude care packages (the wedding was at 12,000 feet and most guests were coming from sea level).
Getting married in a ski resort town guarantees you spectacular views, plenty of recreation, and ample opportunity for all kinds of fun. (and free ski passes for the upcoming winter) There was also free transportation available for our guests and the ride to the wedding itself included a beautiful gondola ride rising 2000 feet above the base of the resort. In terms of planning and arranging we simply took our time and drew inspiration from various blogs and other sources. Many of the details at the wedding were done by Abigail, James, and Abigail’s family in Colorado. Without them it would have not been such a great success and perfect day! For Abigail, being in the fashion industry, her dress was the most important detail of the wedding day. For James, being a photographer, the photographer was the most important detail. We also tried to incorporate who we are into the music, decorations, and overall events of the day and weekend.
Although there were so many moments that are so prominent during and surrounding our wedding, we both agree that the ceremony and in particular the vows were the most meaningful part. Really it was the summation of the entire weekend, our lifelong promises and vows to each other as husband and wife. Our wedding was also very small and intimate. Several times during the ceremony we were able to look back at our friends and family who were graciously there in support of our marriage. James’ best friend’s father was also the officiant at the wedding which was special as he has known James since he was 6 years old and is like family to us. The service was so personal and intimate. We would have had it no other way.

My fav SMP real wedding yet!
Does she sell those sashes? I LOVE it!!!
Okay Abigail, you are one of the most gorgeous, happy looking brides I've seen in a long time!! Just stunning! Congrats!!
This is an amazing wedding - Abigail, I love the guest book idea & wanted to do the same, where did you get your fabric for the squares? You were a beautiful bride!
Beautiful wedding! What a perfect color pallet for July in Colorado!
Where in the world did the adorable flower girl get that dress? It's stunning!
And is the Bride's dress Vera Wang? What a beautiful, happy bride!
Effortlessly gorgeous.
Dying over this wedding. 100% charm. And that save the date!?!?!? beyond cute.
The dress is Vera Wang's Diana dress. One of my favorites when I was shopping for myself, and not just because of the name :) This is also the dress that Chelsea Clinton wore at her wedding. Beautiful!
Just beautiful! Would love to know where you got your earring/ who they are made by?!
Does anyone know where I can get those straws from?? I see them everywhere on smp, but I can't fine them!! :D
Call me biased, but I love Colorado weddings! This one is particularly pretty!
what a beautiful, joyous looking bride. and yay for bowties!
Thanks for all the wonderful comments!!!! Leah is an amazing photographer and really captured every moment and emotion! Thought I would quickly chime in for some responses:
Dress: Vera Wang Diana. If you love Vera, you MUST go to the flagship in NYC and ask for Lori. She is a Dream.
Earrings: J. Crew: They have a great selection of inexpensive vintage inspired pieces.
Sash & Flower Girl: I make clothes for a living, tiny dresses are especially fun.
Straws: Just about anywhere and any color: Search under "striped paper straws"
*sigh* LOVE this wedding. The gown is dreamy and glamorous, the colors are popping, it seems so sweet, fun and beautiful.
Everything is so adorable and beautiful!! I love all the colors, and that shot of the bride with the bridesmaids laughing is so fun!
YAY for super happy super sassy wedding couples!!! This is my favorite wedding post so far. Beyond inspirational and has me smiling to no end.
I absolutely love this wedding! So fun, bright and colorful - this couple's personality really shines through! And the video is amazing - I love everything about this!
the images are so gorgeous but that video is way too cute!
too many things about this wedding that i love! i really love the idea of sewing together the "well wishes" fabric squares to make a quilt - lovely idea -- LOVE the cake and the colorful bridesmaids dresses!
Best invitation EVER! So fantastic and so cute! Doesn't hurt that the bride and groom are gorgeous too...
Love this wedding filled with so many amazing fun details!
great inspiration for out wedding invitations, I love the brown shoes.
These are all so romantic and fun..I cannot stop looking at these photos! The gondola shots are too fantastic.
I'm in love with the invite! Such a cute idea!!! Anyone know the song though? Thanks!
Agreed - those bridesmaid dresses are gorgeous... I want to feel the fabric. Colorado sure does make for some pretty wedding photos!
What a view! I go to CO every year and enjoy this view. What a way to remember it!
Do you sell any of your work Abigail?
Hi Christina, the song is called Home from Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros. The entire album is just as good! Natasha, if you want to send me an email I can give you Abigail's information.
Besides all the insanely clever ideas, dresses, cake, flags, mustaches, James and Abigail are so cute it almost hurts! I just love it.
It's all about the photos! I am so excited to have Leah as my photographer and can't wait for our day - need I say more? These photographs make me wanting more. :) I love her personality and it definitely shows through her work.
I am in love with this wedding and in particular the dress. Does anyone know how much the Diana costs? I am going shopping in NYC in January for bridal gowns but I don't want to tempt myself by going to try it on if it's way out of my budget.
Every single detail is adorable and so sweet. Such an inspiring event.
Abigail you're amazing! Miss you and you're wedding was phenomenal!
The scenery was almost as breath-taking as the bride!
With what application did your husband make the invitation??? It is truly amazing, as is his mix of "Home". Your wedding looks incredible, congrats!
Abigail! Thanks so much for sharing! You were a GORGEOUS bride! Love love love these photos!
Where is the cake topper from???? I love it!
Hey Kara, Abigail actually made the cake topper as well. I know, out of control with fun things...
Here is another photo of the topper as well :-) http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4074/4875280845_852772f490_o.jpg
Man, if there was an Oscar for Best Wedding, I think this would win! I love the idea of a video invitation, and everything was so well done!!! Abigail, when I get married, can you style my wedding?
I absolutely ADORE this wedding! Gah!!! :) It makes me happy. Where can you find the big hanging paper flowers?!
