Many brides want to honor the tradition of an all white bouquet, but don’t want it to look boring. With all the options out there you can make anything unique and fabulous! We scoured the internet and found these amazingly chic all white bouquets for those who want to add a little spunk. Remember, your wedding is all about YOU, so add your own personal flair!

The style created is best described as “beachy elegance”. Becky definitely wanted to incorporate elements of the beach. Shells, starfish and linens that reminded guests of the ocean waters evoked a Florida feel. The grandness of the Lakewood Ranch Country Club’s staircase set the classy tone as guests made their way to the ballroom. Signature martinis, a cappuccino bar and a rocking dance floor kept smiles on the guests’ faces. So after eight months of planning and a boatload of Starbucks lattes, we pulled off the feel to a tee!

We love love love this weeks vendor of the week!  As wedding coordinators we have the pleasure to visit venues all across the country.  While we always appreciate each one, there was recently one that REALLY captured our attention and stood out from them all…Crooked Willow Farms!

Crooked Willow Farms is located just 25 miles outside of Denver (wow!) in the exclusive Plum Creek Valley. This 90 acre property offers multiple hand-crafted event spaces that are rich in history, amenities and breathtaking views.  It can accommodate a small celebration for 50 people or a large  celebration over 500 people! 

From the guest count to the property, everything is grand at Crooked Willow!  As you arrive to the property you are greeted by a charming white picket fence surrounding the perimeter of the property, in front and behind you are perfect views of the Rocky Mountains, and as you make your way up the drive way you cannot help but to notice the gorgeous array of Colorado wild flowers surrounding a pond filled with swans.  This is only the beginning….

Each event space at Crooked Willow is as charming and incredible as the next one!  The Events Lawn is ideal for Cereonys with magnificant views of the Rocky Mountains sourrounding you.  It would make any guest swoon!  Or, if you were having a smaller wedding than you could have the option of using the Courtyard which has a to die for aisle sourrounded by Colorado Wild Flowers! Another option for this space would be a cocktail hour…the perfect spot for guests to take in the lovely smell of flowers while enjoying a refressing glass of wine!  To the right of the Courtyard is The Carriage House Ballroom.  With its rustic interior design and four timeless chandeliers it makes for a perfect spot for any celebration!  Within that barn is the Kings Corridor which has multiple doors open to the grand courtyard allowing the landscape to provide a perfect backdrop for any celebration!  On the otherside of the Courtyard is  Lola’s Loft…and its as darling as it sounds!  Designed with rustic hammered steel railings, cathedral windows and ciculard stiars, the is the spot to P-A-R-T-Y!  Named after their 600 pound pig, Lolas loft is ideal for you to bring in a band and dance the night away!  In addition to these woudnerful event spacas, Crooked Willow also offers an indoor and outdoor pavilion which can accomidate larger celebrations…even up to 1,000!

With it’s 1920‘s style stained glass windows, hardwood floors, ornate chandeliers and a 53’ domed ceiling, the Mirror Lake Lyceum in St Petersburg, FL was the perfect setting for Kacie and Nicky’s wedding. Kacie’s colors of rich copper and blush pink beautifully complimented the historic building. The look was completed with hints of green. Imagine vintage, rustic and femininity all wrapped up into one!

Following the ceremony in the grand hall, guests were escorted to the lounge downstairs which was decorated with copper satin linens, bailer’s twine and rustic candle lit vases. Gathering around high top tables, guests enjoyed cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. Upon reentering the grand room for dinner, guests witnessed a complete transformation! Copper specialty linens were accented with chocolate satin napkins and  mahogany chairs. Delma’s, The Flower Booth created alternating high and low centerpieces of curly willow, cherry blossoms, astilbe and hanging votives that adorned the table tops.

As always, Catering by Design created a fabulous buffet of grilled vegetables with lemon sesame drizzle, lemon roasted chicken breast with a chardonnay cream and three-cheese pasta purses with coconut cream and habanera. To top it off? A carving station offering beef tenderloin with tomato chutney and horseradish basil cream. As delicious as this sounds… the best was yet to come. A dessert station featuring cheesecake lollipops, chocolate truffle shooters and many more scrumptious treats opened as the guests made their way to the dance floor. One would think that guests would have been too full to move, but Kevin Kramer got everyone their feet with crowd favorites! As the night came to an end, the bride and groom exited through a flurry of sparklers and made their way to the lighted Cinderella-esque horse-drawn carriage. And off they went… Happily Ever After!
