Mountain/Urban Celebration

I’m sharing with you an August wedding that had the perfect Colorado mix of nature and urban. Rebecca & Chad decided (which I wish I would have done in my own engagement) to have separate wedding ceremony and reception celebrations.

Their wedding was literally in the mountains, in White River National Forest. So much so, that their small gathering had to hike in to the location of the ceremony (see image). Two weeks later, they had a reception at Mile High Station in downtown Denver, a hip, urban paradox to their ceremony.

A mix of city/nature is found in the heart of many people, and it was inspiring to feel that energy while working with Rebecca & Chad on their stationery. For the ceremony we did a more rustic invitation with a forest design on matte, textured papers, and for the reception we had shimmery papers with a ribbon detail. Their reception location has beautiful modern chandeliers that I immediately noticed when preparing their samples. I imitated these chandeliers into a design, which they chose and then carried throughout the rest of their stationery.
