as featured on style me pretty :: lauren + jack

We loved working on this wedding last summer for Lauren + Jack.

Married by the river in Aspen on a classically Colorado July afternoon.

The details were perfect and the entire affair was unique,

yet authentically true to being an Aspen wedding.

We love follow-up from our clients. And we especially love photos from their events that show our custom designed wedding invitations, party invites and paper goods in action. This one is from a bride and groom for whom we designed a custom BBQ invitation. The colors are still on trend a year later - a bold green and navy blue with neutrals. How inviting.

on the go :: map making

custom first anniversary map by express yourself

There are times when we need to call on our longitude and latitude skills to set up a custom map for an event or occasion. Whether it's a wedding timeline or a group scavenger hunt around town. Or even a map to chronicle first year travels for a newlywed couple or to locate our own favorite Aspen spots, each map is certainly unique. We've started branching out beyond Aspen and the Roaring Fork Valley into other cities and states - New York, Boston, Manchester, Chicago. Our clients have moved and traveled (sometimes far) beyond Colorado.

Starting at the end of May, we'll be embarking on a four week map making class to help broaden our horizons and look at topography and geography from a new persepctive. Does the thought of map making in a class setting get you excited too?! If so, join us here at Skillshare for the Map Making: Learning to Communicate Places Beautifully class. We're thinking of a mapping out a great trip we took through Spain! Whether or not you join us, we're sure we'll intersect with most of you at some point. Oh, the map puns could go on an on...

on the go :: summer in aspen

We are fortunate to have the best of the Roaring Fork Valley right out our front door. One of those 'bests' being Aspen. As winter eases into spring we eagerly await the arrival of summer in town. And we prepare for days full of festivals and music. Hikes and camping. Shopping strolls and dinners on the patio. Good food and great wine. Weddings and sporting events. Hot air balloons and gondola rides. Friends and family visiting. And tourists - yes, we look forward to the visitors from afar. After all, this place is too great to not share. For those that can't make it here this year, at least this time lapse video from a local Basalt-ine will give you a few minutes of what we look forward to enjoying all summer long.

In Review: EY Out and About

The past couple weeks have been busy for anyone who works in the world of weddings. Summer wedding season has wrapped up. Fall wedding season is in full swing. And Winter weddings are just around the corner. Here are a few peeks of work by Express Yourself from around the wedding web. We are so blessed to work with so many great brides, grooms, families and vendors! {bliss}

First up, a Rustic Bridal Shower shoot at the Monastery in Snowmass with Shannon Gray behind the lens. Burlap played a roll in this fantastic, early Fall shoot.

We created invitations that were printed on burlap {yes, burlap!}, as well as the personalized burlap drink name tags. And the cocktail napkins provided just enough cowboy humor for these ladies.

There were also a few fun props and signs for the bride and her ladies.

Look in the pictures for Amy {yes, our Amy of Express Yourself!}. And you might notice another friendly face in there - Lindsey - who works with us!

We may work hard, but we can still have fun! These are just some of our {many} favorite images, but the full session can be seen on Shannon's site here.

Next up, we had the opportunity to create some fun props for Virginia of Bluebird Productions & her fiance Jeff for an engagement photo session. Love the V&J banner! Robin Proctor Photography took some great photos and captured fantastic Aspen and outdoor images during the session. You can view more of the photos here on COUTUREcolorado.

{happy day!}

We Do: Succulents

{via flora and grubb}

succulent: 1) a. full of juice b. moist and tasty 2) rich in interest.

If you are looking for just one thing to inspire your entire wedding or party, look no further. It is all about the succulent plant and just how, well, succulent it really is. This one plant, in all its varieties and textures and colors, can be the perfect starting point for inspiration from beginning to end. Starting with your event colors. Here are two color inspiration boards perfectly pleasing.
