There’s no possible way to call out all of the steal-worthy details in today’s ranch fete, planned by Ivory & Vine Event Co.—but one that I can’t help but keep coming back to is that birch ceremony backdrop and beautiful floral cross, fancied up thanks to We + You. There’s a gallery full more of moments like that one, that’ll keep you wide-eyed and ooh-ing—all captured by Allen Tsai.
From Allen Tsai… Kaylee and Nick were married surrounded by the natural beauty of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, in Steamboat Springs. Their wedding took place at Flying Diamond Ranch, a peaceful venue nestled in the green valley of Steamboat amidst rolling hills and working ranch land.
Kaylee’s guests enjoyed a week of hiking and outdoor activities with the bride and groom, including a rehearsal dinner at Catamount Ranch, overlooking the lake. These two wanted their wedding to be a reunion of family and friends, and for them to experience all of the beautiful elements that Colorado has to offer.
The design was focused on a bright summer palette of blush, pinks, coral, bright pops of yellow and ivory hues. They opted for a neutral base in selecting plush linen seating arrangements and cheesecloth table runners. Bright pops of color was brought in through the floral design; which highlighted a large ceremony cross and floral aisle runners, lush centerpieces and a hanging centerpiece over the head table comprised of smilax greenery and large blooms.
Kaylee’s custom stationery suite featured an iconic Colorado staple – the aspen tree – along with a custom map to give guests highlights of the surrounding area. Complete with a vellum wrap and rose gold wax sealed stamps, this suite definitely set the tone for a beautiful weekend!
The couple and guests enjoyed a family style meal with local ingredients like Colorado peach, Rocky Mountain trout, and summer roasted vegetables. Guests sipped on signature cocktails like the “Mountain Mule” complete with edible flowers, and stared out into the beautiful views as they enjoyed the cigar bar on the groom’s patio. They danced the night away to a live band and ended the evening showered in fresh flower petals as they left for their honeymoon.
