Intimate Fall Colorado Wedding: Keely + Aaron
Intimate Fall Colorado Wedding: Keely + Aaron
via
When you're in the wedding industry AND planning your own big day, like Keely, the bride from today's gorgeous wedding, you've definitely taken more than a couple mental notes from the many weddings you've attended. When she said, It's almost overwhelming all the things that you can do to make your wedding unique and different and beautiful, we could totally understand where she was coming from. So with that, and being on a budget of about $7000, she and her now-hubby, Aaron, got inventive with DIY-ing their decor while simultaneously keeping things simple. Below, they share more about their epic location + throughout the post, we're sharing more about how they made their beautiful day unique to them!
Aaron and I met in Colorado, where he's from, so it's always had a special place in our heart. We feel pretty at home in those mountains. Getting married right in the midst of that magnificent view was the most special thing in the world. That's why it took us so long to find a 'venue'... We knew we didn't want a regular venue, where a bunch of people have gotten married before. We wanted something that could be unique to us, but inspiring. As soon as we stepped foot onto that trail that led to our wedding spot, we knew it was THE place.And once you see David Matthew Fiser's stunning images from the day, it's easy to see why K + A chose this incredible spot for their I Dos...
Keely co-designed her amazing dress with the help of designer Leslie Pennel. Love that she even found appliqué's from a vintage wedding dress that they sewed onto the back - such a fun touch!
K's stunning woodland bouquet was crafted by Passionate About Peonies.
Aaron assembled his look with a handful of super stylish thrift store finds...we love that tie! Shop more of our fave floral print ties + bow ties below, and if groom style is on your mind, be sure to stop back by GWS in just a bit. We have an entire feature dedicated to dressing the groom coming up!
We collected different brass items for those few months and decorated our tables with those and fresh greenery and flowers. We wanted to keep things simple and more natural + rich colors, and mostly focus on the crazy beautiful scenery around us.
