Planning a wedding can be both incredibly exciting and a bit stressful, but with a little extra research it's easy to have the wedding of your dreams in the mountains of Colorado. Here are the top tips for getting married in Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, and other beautiful Colorado mountains towns.
1)????? Choose a venue that is meaningful to you: there are many gorgeous locations for a wedding in Colorado, so rather than trying to choose the most beautiful of such an abundance of splendor, consider selecting a place that has special meaning for you. For example, my friend Kelly felt that the mountains had a special meaning
for her: "Ryan taught me how to snowboard at Breckenridge and we really got to know each other while we were snowboarding. During that time, I really realized how amazing the mountains are - it's something that a picture or words can't explain."
2)????? Balance meaning with vision: just because you're from a certain town or learned how to ski on a particular mountain doesn't mean you have to get married there if it doesn't feel right to you. Choose a venue that fits for a variety of reasons.
"We looked for a venue for 7 months and, in August of this year, we went to visit a few more venues in Beaver Creek, including the Ritz Carlton at Bachelor?Gulch," explained Kelly. "When we walked the lodge, I just felt like it was 'right.' It was cozy, relaxing, 'mountainy' and yet... it had that Colorado Lodge feel that we wanted -- and most of all, it was still classy and elegant."
3)????? Get a great photographer and videographer: saving those special memories is so important, this is perhaps the most essential area to not cut any corners. Find a great photographer who really specializes in capturing the moment rather than creating one, and consider also getting a videographer to really remember all the sights and sounds of the day.
4)????? Have a back-up plan for the weather: seriously, it's like bringing an umbrella so that it won't rain: your best guarantee that everything will work out fine. Even if you do need to go with your alternate plan and it's not exactly as beautiful as the great outdoors, it's much better than freezing in the rain or snow. "There is a great room with floor to ceiling windows, with views of the mountains," described Kelly. "ALMOST just as beautiful as the ceremony venue that we have planned, which is outside near the Ritz."
5)????? Have fun: obviously, the most important part of your wedding is for you to be present and enjoy the experience, which is such an incredible day in your life. If you feel like you're going to stress out about the details, don't feel bad about getting a wedding planner to help you relax.
"We were going to just do the wedding ourselves, but... after a few weeks of thinking about all of the stress that would come the week or so before the wedding, I had a breakdown in front of Ryan," said Kelly. "SO, we decided to hire a wedding planner for 'support' up until the week of the wedding. A week before the wedding, the wedding planner will take complete 'control' so we can have that week to be much more relaxed and less stressful."
Having a great venue, a fantastic photographer, a planner, and a good backup plan for the weather will all help you to relax and appreciate every moment. Enjoy the experience, and see you on the slopes!
