When Erin and Derek dressed up in alternating superhero capes, 80’s spandex, and Gatsby feather boa and tophat for their engagement photos with Brinton Studios, we knew their Vail wedding was going to be a fun and stylish celebration.  In fact, the spokes of a thousand bicycle wheels from the USA Pro Challenge Bike Race, rolling through town on an August afternoon couldn’t compete with the exuberance in this winning wedding day.

Smooth wood swoops gracefully over guests at Vail Chapel, tucked intimately among aspen and spruce trees that peek through tall elegant altar windows as Erin and Derek exchange their vows.

The beauty of windows and wooden beams continues to showcase natural mountain beauty at Donovan Pavilion where guests sip on cocktails by a gurgling creek, Footers Catering prepares a fresh dinner onsite, and the fine script of a ski run table name is tucked into its slotted branch among mercury glass, ivory candles, and romantic clusters of hydrangea, roses, stock, and dusty miller arranged by Statice Floral. Gold chargers, gold chivari chairs, and gilded signs lend a sense of glamour to the romantic elegance. The sweet and stylish soiree is a perfect reflection of Erin & Derek’s thoughtfulness, creativity, and attention to the gorgeous details that make a fun and memorable experience for their guests.
