Wedding Ideas - Colorado #3

As bringers of unusual/thoughtful/gorgeous wedding inspiration, we love when we get to show you guys a wedding that's a little bit different. Not because of the choice of wedding cake or the style of centrepiece (though both of them are rather unique for this wedding!) but because the couple toss out the rule book entirely.

If your idea of a perfect wedding involves a laid-back atmosphere, lots of color, whiskey tasting + a gorgeous backdrop, you're going to wish you could step right through your screen and into Kate + Wes' fun celebration at Crooked Willow Farms in Larkspur, Colorado.

Laura and Finn married in a sweet and unique wedding in the beautiful ski resort town of Vail, Colorado. And it was gorgeous. A stylish couple who carved their own day exactly how they wanted it, they tossed out tradition and had a beautiful wedding filled with personal touches - all captured by the wonderful Selah Photography (whose black and white shots are just stunning!).

Meet Emily and Chris, a gorgeous couple, who brought their Colorado love story full circle after getting married in Boulder last summer. Their al fresco nuptials were a chic yet casual affair dipped in rustic features. From beautiful flowers and a stunning dress to burlap bunting and string lights hanging overhead, this elegant, yet relaxed gathering was carefully planned by the pair.

High school sweethearts Kim and Michael were married at Cielo at Castle Pines in Colorado. Their wedding was bright and colourful but most of all fun and reminiscent of the time they started dating. "Since we were high school sweethearts, we used this as our wedding theme," Kim explained. "We decided to recreate some of those happy memories in our wedding. We had bright sunset colors in our flowers, lighting, table cloths, attendant dresses and ties, and even on our wedding cake. Rainbow colors represented our happiness both in the past and for our future."

Abby + Chris' laid-back Colorado barn wedding really couldn't have been any sweeter. Everything from beginning to end reflected their fun + genuine personalities and the details of the day were just the right balance of rustic + vintage. We're loving their refreshing color palette of peach + mint - such a dreamy juxtaposition to [...]

Photography by Lucky Malone. We've got a sweet summer mountain wedding to share today! What do I love the most? The wildflowers and fresh greenery everywhere you look, especially the bride's colorful bouquet and flower crown (and mini babies' breath versions on the adorable flower girls).

Yup, this Sunday is the last Lovesick Expo for the year. (Sad face emoticon.) But cheer up, buttercups! Denver is going to kick all sorts of ass. Let's talk about the Offbeat Bride staff who'll be there, and find out who's going to party with us.

If you're a regular visitor to our Film Gallery, you'll know that vintage super 8 wedding films are always among our favourites. That grainy film, that signature flicker and that hazy hue; there's just something about these old timey films that harks to nostalgia and romance, and always echoes the feel of a very, very special day.

Turning the story, detail and emotion of a wedding day into an image to treasure forever is truly an art. Whether their style is traditional, fine art or photojournalism, these photographers, highlighted in the new issue of mywedding magazine, are among the best in the business of captured memories.

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 [...]

When it comes to planning an intimate wedding, choosing who to invite and who not to invite can be a real challenge. Instead of risking the hurt feelings of those who don't make the cut, Liz and Jack, decided to skip the guest list altogether and elope instead.

Brittany + Rhett loved the idea of having a smaller, domestic destination wedding, where guests could savor the weekend from start to finish. After learning about the many restrictions of having a wedding ceremony in a national park, the duo opted for the ranch Brittany's aunt + uncle own in Grand Junction, Colorado, just outside...

Mara and Josh went for a theme with a Tim Burton twist for their Colorado wedding last June and nailed it. Look for black and white stripes everywhere, splashes of pink where it counts (even in Mara's hair!), and tons of carnival details in every photo: Altoid tins turned circus trains?
