Bagpipes flooded the room, blue suede high heel shoes graced the bride in her tea length dress, converse shoes were worn by the groom and some rockin' black and white animal print heels were displayed by the bridesmaids during this amazing celebration of two lovers who tied the knot after 9 years!
I was absolutely honored when Lucy approached me and asked me to run hers and Alex's wedding. I couldn't have been happier to be able to not only witness the union of these two awesome individuals, but to make sure their day went absolutely perfectly and flawlessly.
This couple is not just your normal everyday couple, they are the most individual, artistic, insightful individuals who found each other in high school nine years ago and fell so deeply in love that they together, make the most amazingly eccentric couple to not only hang around with but to be influenced by. Everything about them makes my mind work and twist in ways I never thought possible. They are so down to earth and laid back, but they grab people's interest by being them and they just pull you into their world, which is the most beautiful world to be a part of. I was very excited to see how their wedding would be decorated, conducted and ran. It turned out I got to be the one to run it and help decorate it. Therefore, I got to be a witness of how they decided to conducted the most amazing day of their life.
They used lanterns to light up the vintage style, stone, mountain venue, called Boettcher Mansion. It didn't need much decoration because the building itself was the most beautiful mountain escape. We accented the cake table with river rocks to help bring out the building's walls. Lanterns were the centerpieces with river rocks on the bottom and they were surrounded by rose petals and three tea light votives. When you stepped back to take a full view of the room, it was simply breathtaking.
Lucy spent a lot of time on the signs that decked the mountain escape. Alex, a tatoo artist, drew up a bird that summed them up so perfectly and that was the object of focus on the signs used for the wedding and the invitations they sent out. They were printed on thick card stock paper and aged by a unique technique Lucy read about. The room, the entrance and the guestbook table looked phenomenal!
The cake was brought all the way from Wyoming, made by a family member for them. It was absolutely devine! I have had a lot of wedding cake in my life, but never have I tasted a carrot cake like this one! There were other flavors but I got a carrot cake. AMAZING!
Desmond, their close friend, married them and played the bagpipes for their grand entrance. He brought the gift of music to their wedding and wowed us all. It rang throughout the cottage and just gave you goosebumps because it was so perfectly fitted for the room and for this occassion. The acoustics definitely fancied the bagpipe's sounds.
At the end of the night, the shuttle arrived to take them down the mountain to their hotel. Alex told me that he would recommend me to anyone because I amazed him on how on it I was all night. I saw them off and continued clean up and loading the remaining alcohol, decorations and other miscellaneous items into my vehicle. The lady who was overseeing the event said that the wedding was perfectly executed and went so smoothly that she was more than impressed. As a wedding coordinator and day of coordinator, it melted my heart to know my friends and the overseer of the venue was impressed with my services. I can't wait to see all of the photos Megan Huf took and definitely recommend her and her company to anyone who wants a friendly, well trained, photographer or photographers.
I want to end this entry with a huge congratulations to Lucy and Alex and wish them a forever of happiness!!
