Fall wedding babes, we’re about six months out from those cool, cozy autumn days and that means you’re probably in the thick of planning. So, I hope today’s subtly rustic celebration from Bluebird Productions will peak your senses. A slate blue, navy and teal palette compliments the loads of greenery and ivory blooms (oh hey, Prema Style!) and also paves the way for welcoming a warmth in the form of the dreamy candlelit reception. None other than Tec Petaja captured it all so, so beautifully and I just know when the leaves start to drop we’ll be seeing fetes inspired by this very one.

From Bluebird Productions… M+B’s gorgeous fall wedding was held the last Saturday of September in Aspen, Colorado. Despite a long planning timeline (almost 18 months), the celebration took the perfect shape from the get go with very little changes to the plan. We were able to work with both M+B and their families to craft the perfect weekend full of activities, hosted dinners and the most spectacular wedding.

Chaparral Ranch, just outside of Aspen, was home to the actual wedding day. We transformed this massive riding arena into a wood-floored and smilax and velvet-draped area fit for the celebration that ensued. Guests enjoyed an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour with plentiful food and beverage (and a beer truck!).

They listenedd to music by New York Virtuosi and the Wooks. Guests then found their way through a tunnel of hanging globes with escort cards into the arena. A festive family style dinner followed and fueled guests for hours of dancing the night away to Northstar.
