Aspen outdoor wedding ceremony site???

fashiondenver22 — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 16:52:48 +0000

I'm looking for a ceremony site much like the one at Maroon Bells in Aspen CO. The only reason why I can't have the ceremony at Maroon Bells is bc they only allow 65 guests and my wedding is going to be around 150 people.

Does anyone know of a simple, quiet outdoor spot for a ceremony in Aspen? Elk Mountain Lodge was the other option and the venue was bought out a year ago so that is no longer an option either....HELP!!!!!

Hair/Make up in Longmont/Loveland Area

Fbrandye — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 18:50:06 +0000

I am looking for somewhere to do my hair in the Longmont/Loveland Area. My wedding is at Wild Basin Lodge in Allenspark, but I am looking for something before there. If you have any recommendations please let me know. I would like to schedule a trial in the next two weeks while I have family here.

Fort Collins-Dress Alterations

nessa16 — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 01:20:31 +0000

Does anyone know of any good dress alterators in Fort Collins or the surrounding area? My wedding is in ND but I will be here up until so I need someone here. I bought my dress at David's Bridal but they are so expensive. What alterations you had done and cost would be helpful too if you're willing to share. Thanks!

"B" Pics

Dara Jeanne — Thu, 25 Nov 2010 00:10:41 +0000

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a photographer to shoot "B" pics? We are getting married in Florida so our photographer is down there, however, I'd like to give him a "pre-wedding" present/30th birthday present being the "B" pics. I am quite nervous about it though, so I definitely want someone that won't make me feel more self conscience. Thanks for your recommendations. I appreciate it.

Hi Ladies,

I am an active poster on the May 2011 board, and I lurk on here quite often. I would love to become the mod for this board if anyone can tell me how to do so!

Thanks!

Laramie or Fort Collins Caterers

FosterJ11 — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 20:20:10 +0000

We're getting married about halfway between Laramie and Ft. Collins in Colorado. I'm wondering if any of you ladies who are already married (or just familiar with this website) could lead me to any good, yet relatively inexpensive, caterers.

Thanks!

Can't decide on a wedding location

Fbrandye — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 21:33:42 +0000

We are looking for a mountain setting for a combined ceremony and reception. It will only be around 50 people.
What are your opinions on Keystone Resort?
Also Estes Park Condos?

Most of the people are from out of town so need something with rooms?

Edit: So I finally found out what my parents want to spend on my wedding $5000 not including the dress. So if you know of somewhere please let me know.

Scenic northern colorado outdoor wedding

jennyleighthompson — Sun, 14 Nov 2010 03:27:17 +0000

Ok ladies, I'm looking for a scenic outdoor area to have my ceremony/reception. We plan to have a smaller ceremony with about 50 people with a larger reception, about 100-150 people after with some cocktails and munchies inbetween. I prefer that the reception area either be indoors or be in a covered area due to the possibility of inclement weather. Don't want to break the bank on this and don't want a garden. We are willing to drive about an hour and a half max to get to where ever it is, and we prefer a mountainous setting. We want an on site facility to get ready. Catering can go either way as long as it isn't more than 15 per person. If it's a long drive there I would like to have lodging close by. I already have a prefered photographer, cake maker and I plan to make my own decorations and flowers.

Places I am currently considering:
Beaver Meadows
The Pines at Genesse
The Meadows at Marshdale

Places we have already decided against:
Chief Hosa Lodge
Willow Ridge Manor
Sylvan Dale Guest Ranch
Tapestry House
The Preserve at Bingam Hill
Lioncrest Manor

Oh and a lot more . . . Any ideas would be appreciated.

Affordable Venue with Accomodations

marnidyer — Sun, 10 Oct 2010 14:46:21 +0000

I'm going to have a pretty small wedding (between 75 and 100 guests) and most of them will be from out of town. I'm looking for a scenic and affordable ceremony and reception venue that will be a positive representation of Colorado and will have accomodations for all guests. Any ideas?
Thx!

Denver-area engagement photographers

mjquinlan — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 15:53:38 +0000

Hi! I am recently engaged and looking for a great Denver-area photographer to shoot engagement photos.

I love the photo-journalism style and am looking for someone with creativity. Any recommendations are much appreciated! Thank you!

Venue - Barn in Boulder/Denver?

lfisher6 — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 15:37:07 +0000

So the ring has been bought, and the wedding is started to be planned (proposal sometime in the next couple weeks, can't wait!). We are thinking sometime around April-June of 2011. We love love Boulder, its kind of "our" place (although I no longer live there). I've always wanted a rustic feel to the wedding, preferrably a barn in a secluded location for both ceremony and reception. I know how quick venues book, so I'm trying to get a jump on it and wanted to ask if anyone can reccommend a good location? It would need to be for about 100 people.

Antique Engagement Rings

lfisher6 — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 22:07:49 +0000

My boyfriend and have recently decided that we want to get married after 3 wonderful years of dating. He wants me to get the ring I especially want, so we are going shopping together starting next weekend. However, from looking online, and seeing my friend's rings, I've noticed that a lot of modern rings have the diamond sit really far off the hand. The ring has a tendency to catch on things, hit things, and fall over to the side. I've always known that I really didn't want this in my engagement ring, that I wanted a center diamond that was low set. However, this seems to be a tall order as Shane Company or Jared just don't carry that style. I've found several online (http://antiqueengagementrings.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=2442 or http://antiqueengagementrings.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=603) but I'm nervous about asking my bf to make such a large purchase over the internet. Especially if I can't see it on my hand before we buy.

Does anyone have advice for shopping for low-set or antique engagement rings, especially in Colorado? I've some via Google maps, but they almost never have a website - driving from Arvada to Estes Park, for example, seems really far if they don't even have a great collection. How do you feel about making large purchases like this online?

Ring Soon To Come But.....

SSutton14 — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 21:28:32 +0000

I thought I would get a head start on all of this planning stuff. I was engaged once before to a LOSER but didn't go through with it. All of the plans I made last time took so long to get in order. I'm not sure if it was because I didn't really want to marry him and deep down I knew it, or if planning a wedding is really as hard as it seemed. Either way I'm ready this time around. I found the man of my dreams, as I'm sure all of you ladies have as well, and I am so ready to say "I do". Any thoughts on where I should begin? I know what dress I want, I just hope to God it looks as good on me as it does the skinny chick in the mag. =D The colors I'm thinking will be black white and pink with a little yellow and orange mixed in. Is this a good combo? What are your thoughts ladies.... I'm open to all ideas!

Chatfield Botanic Gardens Wedding

AprilRamone — Sun, 14 Nov 2010 04:00:08 +0000

Hi Everyone!
I was wondering if there was anyone here with any advice or info about using the Chatfield Botanic Gardens (with the red barn) as their wedding venue. I've actually photographed a couple of of weddings there & it's definitely one of my favorite venues that I've photographed at because it's just so darn pretty. I am thinking of a May wedding there.

So yeah, just looking for any thoughts about that place since it's one of the ones that stands out in my mind as a great place but obviously since I'm a photographer I'm always thinking about it from a photographer's point of view.

I'm so excited to finally be engaged and get to plan my own wedding:)
Thanks in advance for your .02!
April
