Real Celebration: A Colorado Fall Wedding

A wedding day on the first day of fall

in the mountains of Colorado.

Snow threatened to blanket the day

but the only white witnessed by all

was the beautiful Judd Waddell dress.

When the bride went to pick out the dress,

she happened upon his trunk show

and was fitted by the talented designer himself.

He even sketched her in the dress that very day

as she stood in the bridal boutique.

The location of the ceremony took place at the

great garden of the bride's parents friends and neighbors.

Followed by the reception at the home of the bride's parents,

setting a personal and welcoming tone for all those invited.

Escorting the bride and bridal party from her parent's home

was none other than a traditional bag-piper.

Guests surely knew the bride was on her way.

Small, personalized touches abounded.

Chairs wrapped in ribbons.

Fence posts adorned with flowers.

Sheperd's hooks waiting with candles

to guide guests during the evening hours.

A canon awaited at the ceremony site for a three shot salute

upon the exchange of vows and the pronouncement of the Mr. and Mrs.

Guests braved the cold for a personal

and unique outdoor ceremony site.

The new Mr. and Mrs. were ushered from the ceremony

to the reception via golf cart. A fun ride for the bride and groom

but quite a jog for the photographer,

Steve Worth of NYC, capturing the shot.

Bar menus, programs, dessert teasers, table numbers, escort cards

welcome bags, cocktail napkins and more

all carried the wedding colors, fonts and motifs.
Aubergine and Willow were the colors leading the event,

from start to finish, setting the tone for an afternoon wedding

and evening celebration on the first day of fall.
All stationery items were designed and printed by

Express Yourself.

Colorful dessert delights were imagined

and created by Kurrant Catering and Eat Dessert First.

Guests were entertained by not one, but two bands.

Black Dog Crossing provided pre-ceremony and cocktail hour

bluegrass music and The Spin Band got people moving with their

party, rock and soul music.

Happy Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Jones!

Finding the Perfect Stroller...

Bumbleride Indie Twin Stroller in Seagrass

First comes love,

then comes marriage,

then comes baby

in a baby carriage.

We've helped you with the Valentine's Day gifts,

the proposal (one memorable tux rental for a hilltop proposal!),

the Save the Dates,

the Wedding Invites,

the Thank You Notes,

the Baby Shower,

the Baby Gifts,

the Birth Announcements...

...and now we want to help you with some

baby gear recommendations.

These are items we don't carry in store, but we are happy to

share with you because we simply think they are the best.

First up...let's get back to that baby carriage.

We simply love the Bumbleride strollers for their versatility from

sidewalk strolling to more rugged terrain.

These stollers are perfect for all our modern families.

Drool-worthy colors, great features and some early customer reviews

that make this stroller a must test-drive...with baby in tow of course.

If you're lucky (yes, we said lucky!)

enough to be in need of a double stroller,

check out the giveaway at The Shopping Mama.

There are four great reviews starting here as well.

Keep checking back for more great stroller ideas

and in the mean time,

just keep strolling along!
