Girls Day Out with L Style Bar

Because who doesn't need a girls day out?

On April 9th we joined forces with L Style Bar to promote their amazing salon in Larimer Square and their Beauty on Location hair and make up services. At our super fun event L Style Bar provided a braid bar, eyelash and eyebrows services, and makeovers. We provided the donut wall and mimosa bar for all of the gals that came out. We had several choices of fruits and juices available for everyone and a little under 30 bottles of champagne for all to share. I wont lie, I went a little overboard in my excitement and preparation for the event, but it has been pretty great having champagne on hand around the house. We supplied champagne flutes with blue and white paper straws in perfect Promise fashion. Everyone seemed to really love the bar and that made us very happy campers! We teamed up with Yours Truly Cupcake on the adorable sparkly cupcakes and Heather of Clifton Marie Photography graced us with her presence and photography skills. This was so much fun and we love teaming up with talented vendors like these ones.  Rumor has it we may be doing another event just like this sometime this summer. We would love to see all of you there! Check out some of our photos from the event!

Boulder Engagement Shoot Video

Don't worry we won't be quoting our day job to become videographers...

But this is just a little video footage I put together from our styled engagement shoot. Don't mind my mediocre editing skills. We had a blast on this shoot and got a chance to work with some amazing vendors.

2017's Best Wedding Invites

Signed, sealed, delivered. Were talking invitations... 

With engagement season well underway, we thought we would showcase some unique invitations that we just can't get enough of. Your invitation is your guests first real peek into what your wedding will be like. Send something that will make them as excited for your wedding as you are. 

Make Your Own Monogram

Me+You=Us. It just works. We have been seeing this everywhere, and we find it is a simple way to put personal touches on everything from napkins to having the design on your dance floor. We especially love this because, just like your marriage, this will last well after the wedding.

View Master Invitations

It doesn't get more unique than this. This view master invite is shipped in a box with a custom reel with all of your wedding details. You can include all the essential information as well as your engagement photos to make your reel complete. This invite really sets the tone for a fun and original wedding. This is our absolute favorite invite on this list. 

Acrylic or See Through Invitations

We are getting all kinds of inspiration from this acrylic invitation! It is etched in gold and is sent in a box with greenery (2017's Pantone color of the year) underneath the invite. This simple elegance is just our style and we hope you love it too! 

Play with Color

There is no reason to fear color my friends! We can sometimes get so caught up in the formality of a wedding that we forget that it is supposed to be fun too. Add pops of color in your invitation and set the tone for a fun night. Adding a watercolor effect is a perfect way to blend the many colors together in a seamless way. This element is perfect for boho or beach weddings.

Marble 

Marble is another texture we are seeing all over the wedding industry. The colors are neutral and the pattern is natural. Perfect for a clean and fresh invite. Adding the marble to the inside of the envelope is the perfect added touch to tie together the invitation suite. 

Folded

Because we should never be too old for cootie catchers! This is a way to add a carefree spirit and a little fun to your invitations. We promise your guests will love the surprise.

Start with a Map

Destination weddings, this is for you! Maps are an incredibly helpful way to guide your out of state guests around the area. Add some of your favorite hikes, restaurants, tourist traps, and other destinations to complete your map. Your guests will thank you later!

J+B Downtown Denver Engagement Shoot

We truly love engagement photos just as much as wedding photos...

In the words of Photographer Morgan of Lady Ilg Photography, "Bring your dog to your engagement shoot and I will love you forever!" We one hundred percent agree! We have all the heart eyes for these engagement shots taken in Downtown Denver in RiNo's trendy art district. We will just sit back and let the photos speak for themselves.

Pantone Color of the Year: Greenery

Drum Roll Please...

The 2017 Pantone color of the year is...greenery. Pantone chose this color because they consider it to be a refreshing and revitalizing shade that, to them, symbolizes new beginnings. This is a win for us because we have always been lovers of all things green. Pantone is also calling this color "trans-seasonal", meaning that the color can be worn and used year round. (Try using trans-seasonal in a sentence this week, we dare ya). This is the easiest color to incorporate into a wedding or event. Here are a few ways we think you will be seeing this shade on the wedding scene in 2017.

Emerald Jewels: Picking bridal accessories can be quite the task. Keep it simple and add touches of timeless emerald to your bridal look. Add a dainty necklace or a statement piece like these dangly earrings to add an inviting element to your wedding dress. 

Leafy Green Installations: Installations are always a good idea. Whether you are making the perfect photo back drop or hanging vines from the ceiling, having greenery installations gives the feel of a modern garden. We love this trend and we will be incorporating greenery into our May wedding by adding vines to the wooden beams at The Manor House. 

For the Table: This is where we see the most possibilities with greenery. Add a greenery garland to run down the centers of your table. This will keep the height of the table short and will give your guests the opportunity to really socialize across the table. Wrap your silverware in a small piece of greenery or tuck a piece into your napkin fold. Adding these small purposeful elements makes your event seem more elegant and well thought out. 

Wedding Party Attire: There is something about a deep green that just says elegance and class. Adorn your wedding party in greenery by having your bridesmaids wear green gowns. Green will look good on any skin tone and make the eyes really pop. You can also have your groom rock a emerald colored jacket to make him stand out. 

Your Bouquet: Although we love flowers, and boy do we love flowers, lush greenery can create an effect just as beautiful. Have a whole bouquet filed with assorted greenery or add additional greenery to your floral bouquet. Either way it is a win win! 

We hope this helped inspire you to throw some greenery into your upcoming wedding or event. This must mean that 2017 is our year because green is our absolute favorite color. Go Pantone go! If you need help figuring out how to incorporate this trend into your wedding or event contact us, we've got a few idea up our sleeves.
