Scenic Mountain Wedding in Vail, Colorado

P h o t o s b y S a r a H a s s t e d t

Hello lovely readers. Today I’m sharing a gorgeous, scenic mountain wedding in Vail, Colorado. This wedding is full of stunning views, lovely florals, and of course, a stunning couple. And talk about perfect weather, too. Seeing these photos from Sara Hasstedt makes me yearn for that summer warmth.

From the photographer…Julia and Bobby’s wedding was a destination affair for the two of them as well as most of their guests who were traveling from the East Coast. It was set in the mountains of Beaver Creek. The ceremony took place on a private lot in Cordillera, just down the road from Julia’s parents’ vacation home. The ceremony took place under a white tent with subtle greenery. The florist, Rose, has a beautiful aspen tree structure that they put at the end of the altar. She made a beautiful garland that went both horizontally and vertically. It included foliage swags, white garden roses, ranunculas, andromeda and hints of blue/black privet berries for color. There was an intimate champagne toast held at the house immediately following the ceremony for the bridal party and the reception was held at the Timber Hearthe which was a staple for Julia’s family.

From the photographer…Late last year I spent a beautiful afternoon with the very lovely Brigid & Matt to capture their bridal portraits. They were married the day before in the Perth registry office and then escaped down south, to spend time honeymooning at the picturesque Empire Retreat in Yallingup, WA.

Intimate Amalfi Coast Wedding Inspiration

P h o t o s b y H e a t h e r P a y n e P h o t o g r a p h y

I’m so excited to share these gorgeous images with you all today. This shoot styled by Joy Proctor at the Moda e Arte Workshop takes place on the Amalfi Coast in Italy in an old hotel dating back to the 11th century. With a focus on architecture, Italian romance, and gorgeous landscapes, these photos by Heather Payne are overwhelmingly beautiful.

From the designer…To highlight the delicate juxtaposition of natural beauty and the true artisan talent reflected in the architecture and art, I chose a color palate of light blue, cream, gold and ochre. I chose the ruins of the old Roman baths as the backdrop for our dinner table, which I set with antique monogrammed silverware, detailed stoneware china and delicate etched glass champagne coupes. Ornate gold candelabras and candle sticks lit the table just as the owners of the palace may have done centuries before. I placed taper candles into the frescoes surrounding the dinner table, and chose a beautiful gold cake stand for the cake — which was also placed into a fresco.

P h o t o s b y A n n a P e t e r s

I’m very excited to share with you, not one, not two, but three gorgeous styled shoots from the Erich McVey Workshop in Bend, Oregon. These shoots were inspired by the elements and were styled by Ginny Au and shot by Anna Peters. Everything from the florals, the attire, to the details are simply stunning. Take a look and enjoy the beauty.

Wind

From the photographer…This couple was inspired by wind. Known for it’s quiet but powerful properties, the wind couple is ethereal and pure; the shoot is filled with soft light blues and whites. As the sun set at Smith Rock state park the wind picked up and created the stunning movement in our model’s Rubicon dress.

Ocean Bliss Inspired Wedding Shoot

P h o t o s b y D e b r a E b y P h o t o g r a p h y

Now friends, I don’t like to pick favorites, but boy, this styled shoot is one that I could look at all day long. Whimsical is just one word to describe it. I could also use divine, dreamy, romantic, alluring…pick whichever one you want. But this styled shoot from Debry Eby is to-die-for-gorgeous. Let’s have a look at the photos.

Ocean Bliss Inspiration: Bride

From the photographer…Inspiration for this shoot is drawn from the alluring beauty of the coast. Our team of artists designed with an intentional seaglass palette. Gilded accents compliment the hues of blue.

The setting is the sea. A background of gentle waves caressing the shoreline set against a watercolor sky. The ocean has a way of beckoning romance…

…For the closing scene, I had this vision of romantic exploration. As the sun begins dipping over the horizon, our couple steps into the water. Here, they lift white lanterns lighting the dimming seascape.
