 The scenery at this Vail destination wedding was drop-dead gorgeous! Jackie and Ian came to us knowing they wanted to host a Colorado wedding showcasing the state’s natural beauty. However, they also wanted the day to have an elegant, upscale feel to match the bride’s NYC upbringing. We helped them find the perfect mountain wedding venue in Camp Hale and assisted them with curating every element of the day. We’re so glad we could be their wedding planning team! Colorado Full-Service Wedding PlanningJackie and Ian knew they had a challenge ahead when they decided to plan their Colorado wedding. Sapphire Celebrations came to the rescue! As long-time Coloradans and experienced wedding planners, we knew how to bring their vision to life. Camp Hale was the perfect choice for their venue because of the beautiful outdoor ceremony location and onsite tent. The couple and their guests enjoyed sweeping views of the Rocky Mountains while dining on elevated fare catered by Footers. Jackie and Ian love to cook together, so we helped them brainstorm the perfect favor to gift each guest: a small bottle of specialty olive oil! Not only did the keepsakes make for a sweet personal touch, but the elegant glass containers coordinated beautifully with the décor on the tablescapes. We even had a hand in ensuring the couple’s photos turned out exactly as they envisioned! We held up our iPhones to create the perfect lighting for Mikkelle Carlson to capture portraits of Jackie in the middle of a dark mountain meadow. The stunning results are unlike any bridal portraits we’ve seen before. Jackie truly made the most beautiful mountain bride! Outdoor Wedding Reception at Camp Hale Camp Hale is a unique Colorado wedding venue with plenty of open space for outdoor activities. So, Jackie and Ian chose to take advantage of that to host one of the most fun wedding receptions we’ve ever attended! They incorporated activities showcasing their interests, including archery and flyfishing in the nearby lake (Jackie even reeled in a fish in her wedding dress!). However, those less inclined to rustic pursuits also had plenty to do. Guests could pose for the photo booth from Elite Entertainment or hit the dance floor while DJRIPM spun the tunes. It was our honor to assist Jackie and Ian with planning their destination wedding at Camp Hale! As Colorado wedding planners, we love planning events of all kinds, from the mountains of Vail to downtown Denver. No matter what kind of celebration you’re envisioning, we want to hear from you. vendors:Venue: Camp Hale

The parent/child dances are one of the most heartwarming parts of any wedding day! As wedding planners, we’re still huge fans of this tradition. However, choosing a song to dance to can be difficult. Thankfully, there are a few tried-and-true tunes that couples and their parents have been turning to for decades! Stick around for a list of popular parent dance songs and our guidance for choosing the perfect one. Most Popular Parent Dance SongsFather of the Bride

How to Choose a Parent/Child Dance SongWhen choosing a song to dance to, listen closely to the lyrics. You don’t want a sad song playing during this special moment! Similarly, avoid picking a song with overly romantic connotations (awkward!). The ideal parent/child dance song has meaningful lyrics, often with a nostalgic feel or well wishes for the child. While this may seem like tricky criteria, you aren’t alone in selecting a song. Ask your parent what they think! Is there an artist you’ve always enjoyed listening to together or a melody that holds a special meaning for both of you? It just might make the perfect choice for your dance. With whatever song you choose, be open to fading it about a minute and a half in (so, don’t choose a song that you only like for the ending!). Trust us: for your first dance and your parent/child dances, you won’t want to be up there with all eyes on you for much longer. After that point, you’ll likely lose your guests’ attention too.Your DJ can help you cut your song of choice into the perfect length without sacrificing your favorite parts. Do you want to include both your parents in your wedding more prominently? While the parent/child dance is the best-known way, it isn’t the only one (and it sadly excludes one parent). Recently, we joined other top wedding planners to give our advice for honoring your parents on your special day. To learn more, head to the feature on Everyday Bride! Vendors: |
