Love in Full Flight

Devon + Patrick both serve in the Air Force and decided to add a little thematic fun to their wedding! When guests entered The Black Diamond Lodge for cocktail hour, they were prompted to fold their own paper airplane and bring it to the ceremony. Devon + Patrick had their intimate ceremony in the dining room of The Black Diamond Lodge to get the beautiful mountain backdrop out huge windows and avoid the post-snowstorm mud outside. As they said "I do" and kissed, guests threw these paper planes they had made toward the couple, creating the most fun kiss pictures!

Spiked Cocoa Bar For Guests

Leaning into the snowy surroundings, Devon + Patrick decided to treat guests with a hot cocoa bar as they arrived. The cocoa bar was complete with cocoa, mini marshmallows, Rum, and Schnapps. Guest were able to grab a warm mug and enjoy before heading to the ceremony.

A Toast To Marriage!

Since Devon + Patrick got married in the beautiful dining room, the aisle exit went right by the bar! To spice things up, they chose their favorite drinks and the bartenders had these ready for them, waiting on the bar, as they exited after "I Do." It was a fun way to kick off the celebration to follow!
