Behind the Bliss at Amy and Omar’s Colorful “Owls in Love” Wedding

We gave you a Sneak Peek of the colorful and traditional elements that made up Amy and Omar’s wedding and brought together their Asian, Lebanese and Hispanic traditions and cultures.  Here are a few of our “behind the scenes” photos from their big day.  The wedding was on a beautiful day at Cherokee Ranch and Castle with the Islamic ceremony and wedding reception at The Inn at Hudson Gardens.   See below for a list of the wedding professionals that made Amy and Omar’s day perfect!

One of my personal favorite moments at each wedding.  Before their big day, I find out what the couple would like to drink for their first toast together as Husband and Wife.  After I leave them with their favorite drink, I move away and the couple gets a few precious seconds together, before everyone else makes it back down the aisle.

Behind the Bliss at Heidi and Edward’s Spruce Mountain Ranch Wedding

Heidi and Edward’s DIY wedding has a lot of special touches.  The couple provided mason jars, wood chargers and lanterns for the tables and Crystal in The Garden Floral added moss and succulent accents.  We fell in love with the succulent ring bearer pillow, the vintage typewriter guestbook and the “perfect pear” favors at everyone’s place setting!  Faux grass and battery-powered LED twinkle lights inside a variety of mason jars, lit the room after dark as Jammin’ DJ’s rocked the party.

Spruce Mountain Ranch is such an amazing venue for a wedding.  The mountainside setting is perfect for a rustic-romantic wedding ceremony and the Colorado Room and Albert’s Lodge add a bit of elegance to a Colorado evening, including dining, dancing under the stars and roasting s’mores by a beautiful fireplace.

A Bit of Bliss

“We’ve worked with a lot of wedding planners over the past few years and Julie is by far the best planner we’ve seen, so you are in very good hands. We’re so glad she sent you our way!” – From The Hip Photography

Sweet note forwarded to me from From The Hip to one of my 2012 brides.  I’m so happy she shared it with me.  I think From The Hip Photography is pretty fantastic too!

A Sneak Peek at Amy and Omar’s Wedding

Amy and Omar’s “Owls in Love” wedding is this weekend!  Inspiration for this modern, bright, Colorado wedding came from beautiful fabrics, an adorable birch owl figurine and teacups from Anthropologie.  Many traditions, including a tea ceremony and a special Islamic ceremony, are being incorporated into their special day.  Their food and music are inspired by their Asian, Lebanese and Hispanic cultures.  It’s going to be a beautiful wedding at Cherokee Ranch and Castle with the reception at The Inn at Hudson Gardens.  Amy and Omar amazing people and we can’t wait to help make their day a blissful event!
