Rather than make their cake cutting a big event, Kailey and Nick chose to privately cut their cake with just their parents and grandparents. They snuck away mid dance party to share a quick moment with their closest loved ones. While everyone else was tearing up the dance floor downstairs, Kailey and Nick were cutting into the cutest heart-shaped cake in the quiet upstairs and slowing down to enjoy conversation with some of the people who mattered most. 

Jen + Will’s big day featured a bud vase escort wall, where guests searched for their name that was tied to a beautifully filled bud vase of flowers, and took it to their seat to double as table decor. Not only did the guests love getting to see which bud vase was theirs, each guest got to take their bud vase and flowers home at the end of the night. Nothing makes us sadder than wasted wedding florals, so it was amazing to see them all go home to be enjoyed!

It’s your wedding day, do what you want! If you’re anything like me, that means eating a lot of sweets! You can splurge on a three-tiered cake, call up your favorite ice cream cart, get your grandma’s secret recipe, or do espresso martinis. If you’re somewhere in between (or already know exactly what you want) we’ve got some tips and tricks for you to think about to make sure your wedding day is as sweet as possible! See what we did there ;)

Don’t want to buy a million bud-vases you’ll never use again? How about gauze table runners that are going to sit in your garage till your kids’ weddings? Not interested? We get it, and that’s why we offer rentals to our amazing couples so they can save time and money and skip being wasteful.

Ellie, her father, and her mother busted out some epic moves during their family's first dance. Kollin, his mom, and his brother all got together and sang a fun song. We love that they took these traditions and put a little spin on them to make them their own.

Linens shouldn’t be complicated. You want a pretty fabric, without wrinkles, in a gorgeous color to serve as the backdrop to the rest of your event decor. If easy isn’t your thing, here are a few other reasons to book your linen rentals with Dedicated Linen…

The Wyman Hotel is already full of stories, but on August 10th, it gained a few more. Nestled in the heart of Silverton, this historic mountain gem set the stage for a celebration that felt like stepping into a timeless love story. From antique details to sweeping mountain views, every corner of the venue whispered romance. It’s hard not to swoon when history and high-altitude elegance collide.

You’re knee-deep (or maybe even shoulder-deep) in planning your wedding, and this idea keeps popping up: Do we do a first look or not? Both sides have pros and cons, and that is what we will discuss in this blog. Some people love them, some people hate them, and some people might not have a clue what it is (no shame!). We will explain IT ALL, so sit back, grab your favorite planning snack (M&Ms are a fav), and let’s hash out all of the details of doing a first look on your wedding day!

They say music sets the tone, so let’s make it a happy, intimate party because after all, it is YOUR DAY! This is a list of all the specific times you need songs during your big day (for a more traditional wedding). Obviously, you can pick and choose which ones you want to keep and which you don’t. We also provided a couple of examples for each, but these are really moments to make the day authentically you. If there is a song you and your boo love to jam out to then play it! You don’t have to play what everyone else does.

One of the most special parts of this wedding was how Jennifer + Brady incorporated their daughter into the big day. She spent special time with mom in the morning doing hair and makeup together, resulting in some of the cutest getting ready photos we have ever seen! They even decided to do a first look with daughter + dad that had everyone in tears.

Willow + Nico’s day was full of special touches that made it all about quality time with their family and friends. One of our favorites…the favors - wood cookies with the couple’s name and wedding date that could serve as ornaments. It’s a favor that guests can enjoy for years to come! They even had a cute tree to display the wedding favors on.

Asjha + Sam chose purple as one of the prominent colors for their wedding and were in for a treat as the whole ceremony meadow at The Black Diamond Lodge was blooming with small purple wildflowers. It was a photographer’s dream and the couple frolicked around to create some pretty special photo memories. They even signed their marriage license up in the flower-laden meadow to make it official!

Get inspired by this colorful, whimsical summer wedding! The thoughtfulness that went into this wedding was tangible and the guests loved it!
