These are a few of my favorite things:

MARBLE

Because Dan proposed to Eliya in Marble, CO, the couple sourced a bunch of actual marble pieces from there to incorporate into their wedding. Their welcome sign and bar signs were made out of marble. They had extra blocks of marble that our team used to decorate the seating chart arrangement and cocktail tables. And instead of paper name cards at each place setting, they scrawled each guest's name onto a small marble block. At the end of the night, guests got to take these blocks home to remember Eliya + Dan by.

Goodie Bags

Eliya carefully put together goodie bags for each guest's seat at the ceremony site. They were cute black paper bags, decorated with a yellow stamped print (of a cactus and citrus design) she had handmade. Each bag contained a water bottle with electrolytes, sunscreen, custom temporary tattoos, and anything else guests could need for a day in the mountains. It was such a thoughtful way to welcome their guests to the venue.

Guestbooks

The couple had multiple guestbooks for their wedding : a fingerprint tree poster and an After the Tone phone. Guests crowded their welcome table, smudging their fingers with red, yellow, and orange ink and leaving their mark on the couples' tree poster. They additionally got to pick up the green phone and leave a personalized, heartfelt message for Eliya + Dan. The MOG was in love with the phone and encouraged all guests to leave the couple a voice note.
