Amanda and Chris Got Hitched!

Our very first wedding of the season, roses and peonies, ooh, lala! The ceremony and reception both took place at Longmont's Lone Hawk Farm. We decorated the wooden gazebo with the last of the season's cherry blossoms. We hung wire bird cages, filled with flowers and hanging foliage from the surrounding trees. Tables were adorned with antique ball jars spilling with wide opening peonies and silvery dusty miller. Shamane baked the fab cupcakes. A lovely day indeed.

Real Weddings Tammy & Matt

Yesterday's wedding took place at Boulder's Red Lion Restaurant, located just a short drive up the Boulder canyon. The bride chose a soft palette of ivory and green roses, white ranunculus and white tulips, with a modern wrap of aspidistra leaves. Shamane of Shamane's Bake Shoppe created the gorgeous cake with a cascade of flowers and fruit. Summer wedding ceremonies at the Red Lion, take place alongside the bubbling Boulder Creek. Brides have the option of renting the beautiful aspen arch from The Red Lion, and I have the pleasure of decorating it. Congratulations Tammy and Matt!

Pastry Chef Shamane @ Shamane's Bake Shoppe

So, imagine this. I wake up last week only to find my new hubby eating our frozen wedding cake topper for breakfast. No, seriously. He actually thawed out the layer that we were supposed to eat for our one year anniversary! He said he couldn't wait another day. OMG! Our cake was created by Shamane of Shamane's Bake Shoppe. Now that's a compliment! Photo by Christina Kiffney Photography

Rocky Mountain Weddings

I absolutely love fall weddings in Colorado. Our wedding this weekend was in downtown Boulder. The wedding ceremony and reception were both within walking distance of one another. The majestic trees lining the Pearl Street mall are presently boasting their fabulous fall hues adding inspiration to this weekend's wedding flowers. Wedding at 1st Baptist church, reception at the historic Hotel Boulderado. Thanks to the guys at Hotel Boulderado for your ever willing assistance during this past wedding season, especially Chris and Nate. Thanks to Anna, also of the Boulderado who is always so organized, helpful and simply wonderful to work with. Today's fabulous wedding cake was designed by the talented pastry chef, Shamane of Shamane's Bake Shoppe.
