Our blog has been neglected for a little while as we are still in the thick of wedding season (along with some corporate events and regular party planning)! We have been blessed with amazing couples with such loving families -and couples from all over the country this year! Below are a few weddings we took some photos of. Thank you to all the wonderful families who invited us to be part of their Big Day! Ethan & Callie

Event Planners: My Big Day Ceremony/Reception: YMCA of the Rockies Photographer: Ashley Tiedgen Caterer: Baldoriabaldoriaevents.com/ Linen Rentals: Colorado Tablecloth Shuttles: Denver Limo We were so proud to be a part of this celebration of love and commitment between Pat and Tracy in their Boyd Lake home this past Saturday. My Big Day was asked to help coordinate an intimate wedding for Pat and Tracy who wanted to make sure that their closest friends and family had a taste of Tracy's French family background. We came up with a 'French Revelry' style day for the couple!  While the weather didn't fully cooperate, this couple was cool and calm, and kept a focus on what was truly important!  The colors chosen for the wedding were a white base, with tons of POP! Burgundy, reds, pinks and greens warmed each room. Sprawling vines added an earthy feel. Lace and Lilies in Fort Collins did an amazing job transforming the home!
To make a French Revelry meal complete, you need a very special menu and multiple courses! Taste Local in Loveland, CO did an amazing job with the menu selection, presentation, and authentic interpretation! 
And what multiple course meal would be complete without a wine pairing? Our sommelier friend, Paul, hand selected multiple wines to pair with each course. He educated guests on the background of each wine and why it pairs so well!
 While we didn't get to celebrate out on the deck - looking out on Boyd Lake, Flexx Productions did provide rentals perfect for some shade on a sunny deck, all of the tables, chairs, linens, gold flatware and more!  Of course, we wouldn't get to post such lovely photos without the permission and talent of the lovely Kyla with KJean Photography! She is always a pleasure to work with and such a professional!  Congratulations to the latest happy My Big Day wedding couple: Patrick & Tracy!

Thank you to all who supported the 2018 Group Wedding in the Sweetheart City, Loveland CO. We hope to see you in 2019! Check out the event details here: http://www.valentinesdayinloveland.com/ This event is based in Loveland, CO but serves all of Colorado and surrounding states. While the majority of our guests come from Northern Colorado and Denver, we have had wedding couples join us from NE, WY, MS, and MO! Celebrate Valentine's Day in the most unique way with us!   40.3395° N, 105.5734° W Something very special happened on this spot! If you look this location up in your smartphone, you will likely find a picture of love - the love between Jen & Antonio!  In reality, these are the coordinates for the YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park, and it was the beautiful site for the delightful reception celebrating the marriage of our clients, Jen and Antonio Garcia. Jen is a close My Big Day friend, and we were ecstatic to be a part of her Big Day!
 The day’s celebrations started in a cabin, aptly named “Blessings” on the YMCA site. Family members and the wedding party, met there to prepare for the nuptials at a local Catholic church, Our Lady of the Mountains, as well as to gather to surround both Jen and Antonio with love. There were pictures, primping, hugs, and mimosas.
 After the beautiful ceremony, guests were invited to gather in the large ballroom on the YMCA site. There they were served delicious drinks at an open bar, as well as homemade appetizers and snacks while they waited for the wedding party to return from a quick after ceremony photo shoot.  
 The evening was full of good food, drink, and entertainment provided by Suit & Tie DJ services. The highlight of the evening had to be during the speeches when Maid of Honor and Sister of the Bride turned her speech into a rap, complete with background singers. The crowd was enthralled as she “rocked the mic like a vandal”! 
 Guests danced the night away, and made several trips to the photobooth provided by Blue Orchid Photography.
The decor that the bride and groom chose for their reception site was full of personal and familial touches. There was a memory table filled with photos of family members and important friends who had passed. 
Their guestbook was a beautifully honed piece of wood with their wedding date and coordinates for guests to sign. They had a date jar and more photos of special dates in their relationship on display as well. It was very evident that the couple’s family and friends were a very important part of their relationship and life together.  We absolutely loved being able to be a part of this couple’s big day - the fact that Jen is a close My Big Day friend made it even more special and fun!

Often when interviewing couples we ask them to describe their vision for the day and what they are most looking forward to. Most everyone wants their day to be original, unique, and memorable! We've worked with a gal who can give couples that original and memorable element you are looking for on your Big Day. Meet our friend, Sharon Glassman!  Colorado weddings are beautifully unique. My name is Sharon Glassman. I create custom wedding songs that celebrate your Big Day in a uniquely personal way. My happy, original love songs have a Colorado acoustic sound that pairs beautifully with the setting and your special wedding day. I call my songs Smile Songs because the music, lyrics and mood of each song makes folks smile. (And cry happy tears sometimes, too.) Here’s how I create your custom wedding song: 1 We chat in a friendly, easy way, about your life, your love story, your wedding plans. Your dreams. Anything you’d like to share and celebrate! How you met, where you got engaged. Your dog’s name. Favorite pizza. Mountain. Or flower. Sentimental is great. Serious rocks. Silly’s great, too. It’s all about you. 2 Next? I write an original acoustic song that celebrates moments. Words. Images you’re shared. Instrumentation can be pure and simple as me and my guitar. I can also add mandolin, fiddle, bass and harmony vocals. 3 Then: I record your song for you and deliver it as a high quality mp3. You can add it to your DJs set list. Play it during your wedding ceremony. Or first dance. I also design personalized Smile Songs wedding song posters and art print. They play your song when you scan the QR code in the design! Great event artwork and to enjoy at home. Here are some of my love songs and singing poster designs. I’d love to work with you to create a unique, custom wedding song that sings to your heart and ears. Listen to a sample:

It’s likely you as a couple fit characteristics of more than one theme. Maybe you’re a little sultry but also have a sophisticated elegance about you? Your personalities might take you in one direction but your budget may take you in another. So where do you start? Which direction do you go in? Below are four tips to help you better choose the wedding theme that best suits who you are as a couple. Personality First thing’s first: what type of couple are you? Maybe you consider yourself to be outdoorsy and find yourselves camping and hiking on the weekends. If so, a rustic wedding might encompass your personalities! Do you love bright, bold colors and eccentric design? Then maybe a whimsical setting is just for you! Whichever it may be, go with a theme that will let your personalities shine and it will be sure to be a magical momentous event! Personal Style Your personal style can have a lot of say in the theme you choose as well. If you tend to go more of a classy route, than a traditional elegant tuxedo and ballroom gown would be the right choice for you. Or maybe it’s the look of suspenders with a bow tie paired with a lace fitted dress for that fits your fancy? Regardless of the look you choose, it is important to make sure you feel and look your best on your special day. If you’re not sure where to look first, ladies, we suggest you visit Azazie for inspiration. They have an abundance of styles and colors that will be sure to fit any theme you so desire! As for the gents, we recommend The Black Tux for your style inspiration. Their many styles of wedding suits and tuxedos will be sure to impress. They also have this helpful style guide that gives pointers for guys who, let’s face it, can use the help.

When planning your big day, your personality will play a big part in everything, from the dress to the hors d'oeuvres to the band at the reception. It is your big day, and everything about it is all about you! So what is your personality as a bride? What aspects of yourself do you want to show at your wedding? Are you sporty or a dreamer? Are you all about the latest clothing styles or the latest gardening styles? Choosing your bridal personality is about narrowing it down to what you want to show about yourself in your wedding.  Sometimes we need help narrowing it down. After all, there is so much to our personalities that it’s hard to know where to begin! Hopefully these suggestions can provide inspiration to find your bridal personality! Hobbies and Interests Our hobbies and interests can tell us a lot about our personalities. Sports, gaming, or business pursuits hint at ambition and a competitive nature. A gardener or artist has to have the quality of patience to succeed. Healthcare or volunteer workers have a compassionate quality that motivates them to do for others, and fashionistas spend a lot of money and time making themselves beautiful, like living works of art. Your hobbies and interests are more than just things you like to do. They actually say a lot about your personality! Horoscopes and Totems Many people believe that one’s personality is determined by the date of their birth. Chinese, Celtic, and Western astrologers all have their own systems. Other cultures associate personalities with animal totems or phases of the Moon. Astrologers will tell you to explore what “feels” right, and what that means is to select the system you most identify with and see what it has to say about your personality. It might be a fun thing to do with your bridesmaids, or it might teach you something significant about yourself! Ancestry Research Maybe your heritage is a big part of who you are. Maybe you celebrate your ethnic cooking or cultural trades. Maybe you don’t know anything about your background and want to find out before the wedding. Doing some ancestry research can be a huge way to infuse your personality into your wedding and the planning of it. Talking to family members (your elder family can be invaluable here!) or researching online can give you a lot of insights into your heritage, which can in turn be of great influence on your wedding and reception!  Personality Tests Psychology is a young discipline, barely over a century old, but it has come a long way since the first studies of human behavior took place. There are many personality tests out there that classify you based on your answers to questions posed about your attitudes and goals, likes, dislikes, and beliefs. By examining a variety of parameters, these tests might give you some clues about your personality that you didn’t notice about yourself before. They might also highlight the benefits of a feature you’ve noticed but never took pride in. Taking a deep look at yourself might just be what it takes to find your bridal personality! There are lots of ways to find out the things about yourself that you want to showcase when your big day comes. Getting married is all about celebrating the love of the bride and groom, and both your personality signatures will be all over the event. So remember that finding your bridal personality begins and ends with you!
We have so many wonderful photos to share from this wedding - we had to post yet again! Enjoy the amazing eye that Megan from Megan Newton Photography has! We love the candid shots that showcase the laughter, love and personality of Brittany & Eric's guests.

Hosted by the fine folks of Ellis Ranch outside of Loveland, Nicole and Tyler crafted the perfect celebration of love that merged her love of all things shiny and sparkly and his love of BBQ and the Broncos! There were special touches throughout the event, from shining votives on the dinner tables, to pops of orange and blue in the wedding bouquets and floral arrangements.    Following a beautiful gazebo ceremony, guests were treated to an open bar, staffed by the talented Ellis Ranch crew, and appetizers provided by Nicole’s Father and Step-Mother. After the wedding party concluded their after-ceremony photos, the entire party moved into the dining area where Hog Wild BBQ was served, complete with brisket, shredded pork, chicken, and peach cobbler!
