WHAT: A Perfect Fall Day

WHEN: October 5, 2024

WHERE: The Black Diamond Lodge

COORDINATORS: Molly, Rose, Josh

VIBES: Fall, Sweet, Joyful

These are a few of my favorite things:

LOVE IS SWEET

Karin + Ian’s wedding favors for their guests included His + Her candy bags, and they could not have chosen more perfectly sweet representations of themselves. After having the honor of getting to know them, Karin’s candy choice of sour and then sweet Sour Patch Kids and Watermelon Sours depicted her confident and to the point, yet totally sincere and loving character. And Ian’s choice of Werther’s Originals could not have better fit his truly comforting, never wavering, kind spirit.

FALL PERFECTION

Fall, fall, fall! Karin wanted Fall to be present in all of the details, and the towering, golden aspen trees did not disappoint on this beautiful day. The trees, along with pumpkins, pops of deep oranges and reds in the florals and table decor, and the crisp fall air were sheer perfection!

FIRST LOOK FOR THE BRIDAL PARTY

Karin + Ian chose to keep tradition alive by forgoing a first look with each other before the ceremony; however, they did share this special moment with their bridal party. It was so fun to watch the groomsmen’s faces light up when they turned around to find Karin in her beautiful wedding dress, and the bridesmaids expressed so much love to Ian when he showed up in his fresh wedding suit. It just goes to show that there are so many ways to add a unique twist to those tried and true wedding traditions to make it a truly one-of-a-kind day for the couple!
