Today the team debriefed about all the wedding details, as we constantly scrutinize our work, and evaluate the other vendors our clients hire and consider whether or not we would recommend them to others. This wedding was another PERFECT example of why you hire planners. Not only do we manage the details, we jump in and help your other vendors with their work should they fall short, to ensure you are not left stressing over things you shouldn't have to worry about. Everything below actually happened at ONE WEDDING.  What happened: When reviewing contracts of vendors our couple hired, we noticed they hired a company that another client of ours had a very negative experience with. We gave them honest feedback and suggested they NOT to use a particular employee that we didn't feel would serve them well. What COULD HAVE happened: This couple could have had the same unfortunate experience another client had if they hadn't hired us and allowed us to review their contracts. What happened: Our clients were from out of state and purchasing all of their decorations, shipping them to their house, then having to ship them to Colorado didn't make sense. We offered to rent them what we had that would fit with their theme for a very small fee. We also allowed them to ship their other decorations to us and we transported them to the wedding. What COULD HAVE happened: Unnecessary expenses, stress, and more work for the bride and groom. What happened: The catering staff was short staffed and wasn't able to clear the tables in a timely fashion. My Big Day jumped in and started clearing plates, refilling waters, etc. What COULD HAVE happened: The Mother of the Bride and Aunt Julie could have been clearing plates, rather than visiting with guests. What happened: Since the catering team was short staffed, they also didn't have enough hands to cut cake and serve it to guests. Guess who served all of the guests? Yours truly. What COULD HAVE happened: The cake would have made it out to tables by the end of the night when half of the guests had already left. What happened: The DJ clearly didn't have the correct notes for this bride and groom. He made one mistake after another. My Big Day stepped in with our notes and babysat him to make sure he got his playlist in order. What COULD HAVE happened: Their guests could have been doing the Macarena and Chicken Dance, even though they explicitly put those on the DO NOT PLAY list. What happened: The DJ was not well spoken on the microphone and botched a few important moments. My Big Day Event Planners having a wealth of Public Speaking experience, so we politely took over announcements and let him focus on the playlist. What COULD HAVE happened: Angry family members insulted that they were called by the wrong name, guests missing their shuttle ride back to their hotel, missed speeches... you name it. When you hire events planners, you are hiring a team of experts who have your best interest at heart, years of experience with every kind of emergency you can imagine, and a team of people who have worked with hundreds of different vendors. We are flexible, reliable, and happy to recommend other great vendors in the industry.  Contact My Big Day

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!
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!

It’s no secret that planning a wedding can be stressful and trying at times. However, it can be even more complicated for the eco-conscious couple who want to host an earth friendly wedding. Suddenly, the happy bride and groom are faced with a variety of choices and, more often than not, will discover it isn’t alway easy being green. Suddenly, we are forced with the dilemma of choosing convenience over more sustainable items due to cost or time.
Thankfully, all is not lost.
Couples can still enjoy the wedding of their dreams with a little creative thinking. Yes, it’s possible to organize an eco-friendly wedding that gives you all the “feels” without breaking the bank or your principles. Afterall, we want our relationship to be the item that lasts for years down the road, not the trash leftover from the wedding.
12 tips on how to organize an eco-friendly wedding:
Start planning early. Depending on where you live, it isn’t always possible to walk into a store and purchase green products. Don’t wait to the last minute if you want to organize an eco-friendly wedding and buy items in bulk to cut down on costs and unneeded packaging. You need to start now and allow plenty of time to locate or order items you want.
Locate the perfect venue. Not all venues are created equal and this is especially true when it comes to being eco-friendly. Before booking or putting down deposits, look for a location that can host the ceremony and reception in one place to reduce driving. Also, consider the natural lighting and how much input you will be able to have over the food and products used.
Purchase recycled paper invitations. When choosing invites, look for eco-friendly versions made from recycled materials. You can buy a variety of high-quality products that feature handmade paper, paper with seeds inside that can be planted, and so much more!
Go digital. Ditch paper invites altogether and use digital options for inviting people to the wedding, reception, and even for RSVP’s.
Buy local. Reduce your carbon footprint by hiring local vendors to buy local products and services. Also, purchase in-season produce and foods to add regional flare.

For flowers, pick organic or upcycle your own. There are a variety of eco-friendly options available. If you can’t find organically grown or sustainable flowers that are in-season, make your own from vintage fabrics or old books. You can also throw the bouquet and choose potted plants!
Embrace reusable table coverings. While it’s tempting to get plastic tablecloths that can be rolled up and thrown into the trash, keep things classy and eco-friendly with cloth or reusable table coverings. Many venues may already provide this option, but you can always buy your own or borrow from friends and family.
Find something borrowed. Rent or borrow reusable centerpieces, decorations, and other big ticket items. You don’t need to reinvent the wheel for each wedding and it makes financial sense while being better for the environment.
Go vintage and buy used. Instead of buying all new items that come with packaging, hit garage sales, thrift stores, flea markets, and online resellers first. You can also repurpose items your family already owns for the wedding for one-of-a-kind items. Look for ways incorporate old doors, Mason jars, containers, bicycles, feeders, wedding dresses, lace, fabrics, and more on your big day! This will keep items out of the landfill and give your wedding personality for pennies on the dollar.
Ditch the disposable silverware and table settings. Go old school and pump up the glam by using real plates, glasses, and silverware complete with cloth napkins. By saying no to the plastics, styrofoam, or paper products you will be eliminating these one time use items from heading to the landfill. If you don’t want to hassle with dishes, but want the convenience of disposable items, you can find disposables made from rice, wood, and potato products. These, unlike plastic, can be composted or dissolve naturally over a short period of time.
Get lit. Many couples love the ambience white light provides at their reception, but this trend often involves a multitude of string lights and numerous outlets which require a lot of energy. Instead of buying any old strings of lights, look for LED options featuring Energy Star ratings to save power and prevent unneeded energy use.
Donate leftover items. Many of us overplan and find ourselves with extra decorations, flowers, food, and more. Others would love to enjoy or use this surplus! Instead of trashing extras, consider donating your extra resellable items to a charity thrift store, giving flowers to a hospital or church, or ask about donating leftover nibbles to a mission or food kitchen.

 | Every couple wants to create the ideal ambiance for their wedding. Choosing the perfect venue for your wedding and reception is all about location and your personal preferences. Your venue should complement the theme of your wedding and speak to your love story, faith or maybe even your passions. Some religions state that the couple should get married in their place of worship. So religion may be the main driving force in choosing your wedding venue. But even if you plan to say “I Do” in a place of worship, your reception venue can be somewhere unique. Couples who are open to alternative settings for their vow exchange can and should think about unique venues like museums, parks, botanical gardens or even the beach (if you’re on the coast). Think about how the venue will photograph, and how the location will look as a backdrop. |
| Of course, you also need to consider the guest list. Is the location easily accessible for guests? What about parking? And public restrooms? When looking at alternative locations, couples should take all aspects of the venue or site into account. As for choosing the reception venue, an entirely unique location may be selected. While some couples exchange vows and hold their reception at the same location, others choose to have their after-party elsewhere. Here are a few tips to decide how to choose the ideal locations for the vow exchange and the reception: Make sure the locations are close. If you’re getting married on the beach, consider reception venues that are nearby. Look at hotels, restaurants or other sites for guests to gather after the vow exchange. Some hotels on the beach also offer all-inclusive wedding packages. So you can have your ceremony near the water and the reception indoors…or even on the patio! |  |
  | Budget is everything.Before you even begin looking for the perfect wedding site, you need to understand your financial bottom line. That beautiful cathedral might charge more than you can afford, but your local family church may allow you to host your wedding ceremony for a nominal fee if you’re a member. The money bottom line also speaks to your reception venue. Yes, that grand resort may seem like the picturesque place to host your guests, but you cannot spend the entire budget on just the reception! Ask about the site rules and regulations. Some venues may require you to use their on-site catering or may stipulate what you can or cannot bring on site. Ask about any rules and constraints...you may even want to inquire about any limitations on décor. If the venue is a closed space, and you’re an allergy sufferer, you also may want to make sure your florist steers clear of flowers that aggravate allergies (like daisies or sunflowers). |
| Check the reviews. If you’re not planning to marry in a house of worship, and you’re looking for a unique venue, always check the reviews before committing or forking over a down-payment. Read all the reviews and then tour the location. Ask for recommendations. If you hired a wedding planner, don’t be shy about asking for site recommendations. Talk to your planner about your personal preferences and be open about your budget; your planner likely will have some great suggestions. Think about a home-based ceremony. If your budget is tight, you could consider hosting the ceremony in your backyard. Or in the backyard of your parents’ house. You’ll need to be sure that the space can accommodate your guest list, however.  |  |
Choosing the right wedding venue is all about finding the destination that strikes the right note. Your ceremony location should speak to your story, personality and even your passions. If the two of you love the outdoors, consider hosting your nuptials at a park or on the beach. Some museums and historic sites also may be open for wedding events. Know your budget before exploring sites, and always read reviews of venues before committing. No matter where you plan your big day, just remember that the vows matter most…not the location.

Valentine's Day 2018 is just days away... and you might be fretting over what to do this year to show your love for your one and only.
The My Big Day team has put together a list of our personal favorite ways to celebrate Valentine's Day. Feel free to borrow any of our ideas!
The My Big Day team has put together a list of our personal favorite ways to celebrate Valentine's Day. Feel free to borrow any of our ideas!
 | Christine: Being an event planner, I start planning for holidays MONTHS OUT. A few of my favorite things... 1) Purchase matching Valentine outfits and a sweet book for my twin nieces and ship on Feb 1st! 2) Buy Valentine's for the neighbor kids and kiddos in my son's class for him to give (this year is chocolate covered pretzels and sweet little cards) 3) I get a BIG HEART for my parents from the Loveland Rotary (I make it a scavenger hunt) Look for "In love with you since '72 D+N" over by Lake Loveland! 4) I get a couple cards for my husband - one to hide in his work bag so he finds a little surprise, and another 1 or 2 to give at other times. I also gift him a sweet treat of some sort. 5) My Big Day sends out Valentine's to many of our clients and partners. We create them, stamp them, and send them out through the Valentine Re-Mailing Program in early February! 6) I send out Valentine's to family members through the Valentine Re-Mailing Program, and often send a handful of the Official Loveland Valentine's Cards that you can buy around the city. 7) My husband and I either cook a nice dinner at home, or go out to a local restaurant. A few of our favorites: Slate Italian Eatery, Starlight Dessert Bar, Taste Local, Fresh Plate Eatery, Bann Thai, the Himalayan Bistro, or Hearth. 8) Planning the Valentine's Day Group Wedding of course! |
 | Lynzee: My favorite way to spend Valentine’s Day is out on a trip discovering new places with my hubby! Sharing new experiences is a great way to bond! |
 | Carrie: As a parent of young children, getting time away to celebrate a holiday built on romance is difficult. I have found the best way is to include my two boys in the celebration. I usually prepare a candlelight dinner where the kids get to drink sparkling grape juice out of the "grown up" wine glasses, and we dine by candlelight. Sometimes we have super fancy chicken nuggets and mac and cheese - the main course is always chosen by the kiddos. Our schedules are always so busy so it's nice to have an evening to sit back with a special dinner together. |
 | Heather: We love to celebrate Valentines each year by going to Estes Park and go snow shoeing. We then head back to Fort Collins and eat dinner at Bisetti's. Then we go for a long stroll in old Town. |
 | Kathy: Valentine's Day has never been a big holiday for us to celebrate but it always gives us a reason to do a date night. We like to find a spot that is not a normal place for us or for others so we look for a hole in the wall place that is unique and cozy. This way we stay away from the crowds and we can have some quality time together. Celebrating each other and our love is something we try to do as often as we can. We love to stay connected and continue to build our relationship as we grow old together. We try to strengthen our marriage by remembering this scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 4Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. |
 | Katie: Plan in advance... I love to make reservations at the Loveland Chophouse (4th Street) and get a nice steak dinner and fancy wine! |
 | Randi: My favorite way is to make a movie fort at home and watch old classics. We fill the fort with snacks and chocolates and roses. Add some cocoa and my loving partner. |

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!
