Our 10 Favorite New Wedding Discoveries!

Our 10 Favorite New Wedding Discoveries!

With 2018 Wedding Season upon us we are busy bees working with incredible couples planning their Colorado destination weddings. As a result, we’ve come across some very talented artists, designers and boutiques we just couldn’t keep to ourselves. No matter where you’re planning your wedding we highly recommend checking out this list of wedding professionals below, each certain to help you make your big day unforgettable.

1) Handsome Love Calligraphy:

It’s the smallest details that make the largest impact on your wedding day. It’s what often leaves a lasting impression on your guests and what makes your loved ones feel as special as they’ve made you feel. We’re talking about the art of calligraphy. That dreamy hand-lettering we can’t seem to get enough of. And for good reason. A calligrapher isn’t just someone you hire for your wedding invitations and RSVP cards, though we highly recommend this if your budget allows. A calligrapher can also provide you with place cards, wedding signage, and wedding favors. Let us introduce you to Camille Fenn, the uber-talented artist behind Handsome Love Calligraphy. Camille’s work is so emotion-driven and so swoon-worthy we want to see it everywhere. At our showers, at our weddings, at our dinner parties, on our studio walls, and in our homes. We think you will too.

2) Petal  & Flour:

In our humble opinion, florals are a must at weddings. They provide color, elegance, and give your wedding that super romantic vibe. Having an expert florist will be the best decision you will ever make and believe it or not, will help you cut costs. A professional florist has access to wholesale flowers and can get a much better rate in bulk that if you buy directly from a retailer or grocery store. A pro can also help you better determine what’s in season which can also help you save on your budget. Bottomline, when it comes to choosing floral arrangements, it can be incredibly overwhelming because there is simply so much to consider.  Allow a floral designer to take on the task of helping you pick out florals and greenery that are going to compliment your wedding and your budget. If you are in need of finding someone who can give you a floral fairytale, we highly recommend checking out Angela Kuepper at Petal & Flour. Angela has more than twenty years of experience in the floral industry and designs the most beautiful arrangements, bouquets, and corsages. We are obsessed with her style.

10) Makeup by Heather

We all know the struggles that come with doing our own makeup. Sometimes we pick the wrong shade of foundation, can’t create a perfect cat eye to save our lives, and our smokey eye sometimes ends up looking like a black eye! Brides-to-be, commissioning a professional make-up artist on your wedding day is a must. Here’s why. Not only do you deserve to have a pro making you feel the most beautiful you’ve ever felt, you also need a pro to take you from a.m to p.m. You need staying power. You need makeup that will pop in your photos and makeup that will remain fresh despite your tears of joy.  We have someone you’ll want to know. Meet Heather Baker, the mastermind behind Makeup by Heather B and HB Cosmetics. Even if you don’t book her for your wedding, we highly recommend following her and subscribing to her channels.
