Wedding Pink Florals

I had a blast with Lauren, Matt, Heather from Crested Butte Events and Keli from Misty Mountain Floral. Lauren along with Matt's help has picked out the florals for their wedding.

Lauren is going with soft pinks and peaches, a gardeney feel with a rustic sophisticated look. Natural woodsy elements and birch containers. We think these will be a beautiful compliment to the outdoor mountain setting.

Thank you to Keli of Misty Mountain Floral for donating the florals to The Wedding Pink and helping make Lauren and Matt's wedding dreams come true!

 


Cake Tasting with Wildflour Sweets in Crested Butte

Danielle of Wildflour Sweets in Crested Butte prepared two amazing cakes for Lauren and Matt to taste.

 

These were the most amazing cakes, one was chocolate and the other was carrot cake. This is going to be one delicious wedding cake!

 

Matt thought he would take an opportunity to practice feeding Lauren cake!

 

A huge thank you to Danielle of Wildflour Sweets for donating Lauren and Matt's wedding cake. 

Lauren and Matt in Crested Butte

I had the pleasure of joining Lauren and Matt for their first visit to Crested Butte. This is the Ten Peaks event site on the mountain in Crested Butte where they will be getting married in June, sans snow!

Stay tuned while we follow their wedding planning journey over the next few months. More pics including engagement photos to follow in the near future.

From the Bride and Groom's Perspective

We recently asked Melissa and Rich, the recipients of The Wedding Pink 2015, to share their thoughts and experiences of being awarded the wedding. In case you are new to our blog Melissa and Rich had a beautiful wedding ceremony and reception at the Brown Palace Hotel in downtown Denver this past June.

Reminiscing about our wedding gives us great joy. We were only engaged for a short time and never imagined receiving the amazing gifted wedding from The Wedding Pink. From the very beginning we felt that it was a whirlwind of excitement because we learnt that we were going to be working with amazing vendors in the local area. The vendors were very nice and helpful in assisting us to see the vision of our dream wedding come true. They truly helped us incorporate every idea to assist in making this one memorable and unforgettable event. We never felt pressure to conform to a certain idea or vision of anyone else, but rather we were allowed to really individualize and personalize every detail needed for a once in a life time event. All the vendors listened to our desires and helped create the wedding of our dreams. Throughout the process, Ms. Cheryl Ungar was present for each vendor meeting and whole heartedly invested her time with us to help ensure time frames were met and details were completed, so that the process would be a smooth one. From cake tasting to food tasting, creating our invitations to picking out the perfect flowers, working with The Wedding Pink was a joyful experience. We are very grateful and humbled to have been provided this opportunity.

Each day, we remember the happiness of our wedding day. Being married at the Brown Palace, was a dream come true and beyond our imagination. The Wedding Pink allowed us to start our lives together on a high note.

There was so much joy, laughter and tears that came from entire experience. One would never realize that a cancer diagnosis could lead to so many positive things such as our beautiful wedding and new found friend! We cannot thank The Wedding Pink and Ms. Ungar enough for the generous gift they bestowed upon us.
