Liz and Pat are two of the nicest people we’ve had the pleasure of working with; thoughtful, funny, and totally into each other. The pair met at a Denver Zoo event so we loved their idea to use animals as escort cards. To glam up the look, they painted the animals gold, mounted them on little wooden stands, and personally wrote each guest’s name on a corresponding animal. The golden animals beautifully complimented exquisite tables adorned with lush centerpieces, candles, mercury glass, and gold-script table numbers from Statice Floral Design, and gold chargers from Allwell Rents. Centerpiece styles varied from tall full arrangements to flower-wreathed lanterns to lower vintage-style vessels bursting with hydrangea, dahlias, and astilbe throughout the room at Mile High Station, creating lovely visual texture in an historic foundry with exposed brick walls and industrial ibeams.

Strands of market lighting from Elite DJ & Production added a festive romantic touch over the dance floor while an inflatable giraffe, funky sunglasses, and blinking rings kept the dancing lively below. A dessert bar loaded with delicious homemade cookies (from the bride’s mom and groom’s mom) was complimented by the Sweet Cow Ice Cream Truck, a huge hit with guests. From a very meaningful ceremony at St. John Francis Chapel, Regis University to the Model A getaway car to the hearty dinner from Relish Catering to the last hand-baked cookie, this wedding was a series of stylish thoughtful experiences celebrating one adored couple. We were so honored to be part of it and we’re thrilled that Daylene Wilson was there to capture the day so beautifully!
