MOST MEMORABLE BRIDAL GOWN: ASHLEY’S GOWN (by Jenny Packham)
Ashley’s tulle and crystal couture gown by Jenny Packham was simply breathtaking. The draping of the tulle and the open back detailing made it one of the most beautiful gowns we have ever seen, and Ashley looked radiant in it!

MOST MEMORABLE BRIDESMAIDS’ GOWNS: LESLIE’S BRIDESMAIDS 2015 was the year of bridesmaids wearing different styles and often different colors in a cohesive fashion. We loved the different shades of blush and nude that Leslie’s bridesmaids wore, each style and shade complimentary to each bridesmaid.

MOST MEMORABLE GROOMSMEN ATTIRE: TRAVIS & HIS GROOMSMEN While Travis and his groomsmen sure did look sharp in their black suits with royal blue ties, we loved the superhero shirts they had on underneath. Made for some great pics!

The ceremony was held in Arches National Park and was followed by a sunset river cruise on the Colorado River, a delicious dinner on the cliffs, and dessert and drinks around the campfire of our “glamping” hotel! Three days later the reception was held at the Four Seasons Denver and the design reflected the entire experience.

MOST MEMORABLE CORPORATE EVENT: SEALED AIR’S 40th ANNIVERSARY (Marianne’s Rentals, Beyond, Billy Sims BBQ, Blooming Balloons, LeForce Entertainment, Connie Duglin Linen, E.H.

MOST MEMORABLE HEAD TABLE: JANE & EDDIE’S HEAD TABLE (Haute Floral, BBJ Linen, Posh Couture Rentals) One of the most incredible head tables we have ever seen! Haute Floral did the most amazing job creating the stunning floral above and below. Linens and crystal chair sleeves from BBJ Linen added some sparkle, and the chairs and chargers from Posh Couture Rentals were the perfect finishing touch!

MOST MEMORABLE LIGHTING: ABSOLUTE Lighting makes all the difference, and this was shown the best this year with the beautiful lighting by Absolute at the weddings of Jane & Eddie, Esther & Paul, and Mollie & James. It transformed the room and created interested from the ceiling to the floor.

Two sets of invitations were necessary for our two celebrations in Moab and Denver, all using a mix of textures and colors as well as custom rubber stamping. The rubber stamping was also used on and in the guests’ Welcome Boxes. The suite truly reflected the wedding itself!

MOST MEMORABLE CEREMONY LOCATION: PERKINS CHAPEL Perkins Chapel on the SMU campus is one of our very favorite ceremony locations, and it was as well for the weddings of Alex & Austin, Brittany & Ricky, and Mollie & James. The classic architecture, neutral palette, and intimate size make it a perfect setting for any wedding ceremony!
