An Exquisite Italian Summer Wedding

My Big Day clients, Brittany and Eric, are a sweet couple with strong roots in Northern Colorado who hold a strong love for each other, family, travel, and fun!  It was only fitting that the celebration of their marriage combined the love and support of their “close to home” families and friends with a “global flair”!

The couple was actually married in a beautiful ceremony in Italy in early August.  They chose Italy because Eric’s Mother is of Italian descent, and there was a long generational tradition of being married in a particular Italian church, graced with Frescas painted by world famous artist, Donatello.

After traveling with family to celebrate their marriage in beautiful Italy, the couple continued the celebration of their love in a reception set on Brittany’s parents’ Timnath property.  The location was simply stunning with mountain vistas to the west, fields and grasslands to the east, and a gem of a newly constructed barn in the middle that housed the cocktail reception kick off.

The celebration started with cocktails and a delightful anti-pasta spread - catered by 3 Tomatoes from Denver in the gorgeous barn.  This barn was not your typical farm barn.  This barn - or, house, was constructed with rich finishes and beautiful accessories, and included a full service French-Country kitchen and Horseshoe Shaped Bar that could sit up to 15 people at a time!  Guests were treated to delicious food and drink, and mingled with Brittany, Eric, and their families.

After cocktail hour, the party moved to an expansive tent, decorated with gorgeous chandeliers, drapery, lights and stunning table decor - provided by Palmer Flowers of Fort Collins.  Guests enjoyed more delicious food provided once again by 3 Tomatoes - luscious salads, roasted veggies, Ratatouille pasta, Lemon Glazed Chicken, and freshly sliced Prime Rib.  Spirits were served table to table and at two beautifully decorated bars, located just outside of the tent.  

There were heartfelt toasts and dancing to live music provided by the Diamond Empire Band.  Brittany, Eric, and all of their guests celebrated in beautiful style all evening long!

This gorgeous event wouldn’t have been possible without the detailed vision provided by WhiteTine Interiors, Brittany and her mother, Renee.  Eric and Brittany’s personalities were highlighted in all the special details, from photos fresh from their Italian dream wedding, to the little touches of Italy and all of their world travels, in the selections of food and other decor.

My Big Day was honored to be part of this wonderful celebration of love!  We love working with our clients and other vendors to create memorable events, encouraging all to Dream Big and Live Big - For Life’s Events!
