Hey couples… you don’t want to miss this! Tapestry house will be throwing their annual ‘Starry Nights & Twinkle Lights Bridal Show‘ this Sunday the 29th from 12:00-4:00. This show is always a hit, and is FREE to every bride and groom who attend! Brides say it is so helpful to meet many vendors at once instead of setting up a ton of individual meetings. Here are just a few of the wonderful Northern Colorado vendors who will be at the show this Sunday ~ Dora Grace, Paper Moon Weddings, Steele the Spotlight make-up, Palmer Flowers, Colorado Sound, Cupcake cruiser, Elite DJ, Fancy Envelope, All ABout Honeymoons and many more! Hope to meet you there

As most of you know the snow here in Colorado is nothing to cheer about! We have received just enough snow to deceive us that the mountain is covered. Rob was the one to prove that true this weekend when he got eaten alive by a hidden stump. A few hidden surprises and a large tree later, Rob left the slopes with a cracked rib, ouch!! Luckily he is doing fine, but the hardiest thing is watching him try not to laugh! Laughing hurts him the most, and there is something about watching someone try not to laugh that makes you want to laugh!
We arrived home from the slopes to find tons of missed calls and texts from our supportive friends. One text to a friend for pray turned into a community offering love and support to Rob. He might say he would do it all again when we came home to find his all time favorite…homemade Stromboli from our dear friend Laura Hoover

There is nothing like Colorado in the fall. Emily and Tom knew they wanted brilliant fall colors for their wedding , so they chose to have an October wedding at the Fabulous Black Canyon Inn in Estes Park.
I think I saw the most laughter at this wedding than any before. Friends and family were there to celebrate, and that they did!
Tom is a beer brewer for a brewery near Winter Park, Colorado. He brought a keg for his guests with his very own beer. It was a hit! I can’t wait to visit the brewery and try it for myself.
A big thanks to Black Canyon Inn, Twin Owls Steakhouse, Blooms Floral, and Ron Michaels for a wonderful wedding.
Emily and Tom, thank you thank you thank you for inviting us into your wedding. You both are a joy and wonderful people. I wish you many years of happiness and adventures! Emily you looked stunning… I know you heard that all day, but it is true!

This past Sunday I had the honor of representing the Estes Park Wedding Association at the Rocky Mountain Bridal Show. It’s so fun to have a family of vendors in the wedding business, it makes shows like this so fun and somewhat relaxing. Thanks to Della Terra, The Stanley Hotel, Wild Basin, Colorado Sound, Jamie, Harper Point, and many more for a great time. We were all attempting sign language to each other during the show to update everyone on the Broncos score. I can’t imagine what brides were thinking when they saw us silently jumping up and down with both hands raised, probably thought we had just booked our very first wedding.
Luckily I rushed home to witness the OT big play! Boo-ya!

These two are one of the kindest couples you could ever meet. I had never met Kate or Jeremy until their wedding day, but I can honestly say I left feeling like good friends. When I walked in the room, Kate stopped everything to give me a hug, only knowing me through emails and the blog.
Jeremy is a true gentleman and takes great care of his new wife. I have full faith that this couple will have a life long joyful marriage and family.
The ceremony took place at precious chapel at Peaceful Valley Ranch. Shortly after we had 1.5 hours to adventure in Estes Park to take pictures, aka a wedding photographers dream! The couple hosted the perfect small dinner reception at the Black Canyon Inn.
Oh, and check out Kate’s stylish attire! She is a hair stylist and obviously fashion comes natural to her. She did her own hair and make-up! Talented huh?
Kate and Jeremy, thank you thank you thank you! Your wedding celebration was a joy to capture and a blast to be apart of. You both are gorgeous and your love is contagious. I truly hope to see you soon!
Much appreciation,
~Karina
