Fall destination wedding at The BroadmoorPicture

Jillian and Mitchell met on a dating app and met in person several weeks later on their first date at Jillian’s apartment. Right before Mitchell was due to arrive, Jillian’s bathtub faucet exploded! Mitchell walked in to find her surrounded by tools and immediately knew she was unlike any girl he had met. They spent the rest of the date chatting and playing Bananagrams while waiting for maintenance to arrive. A few months later, Mitchell asked Jillian to be his girlfriend in the most romantic way: on the beach at sunset!

The couple soon fell head over heels for each other, flying to meet each other’s families in Colorado and Texas over the winter holidays. At the end of the following year, Mitchell popped the question in Los Angeles at the scenic Griffith Observatory Overlook. After Jillian said yes, the happy pair celebrated the next day with a trip to Disneyland. We adore their love story! It was our pleasure to plan their dream destination wedding at The Broadmoor.

Wedding Dress Shopping at Kleinfeld

Before their big day, the couple flew to New York City to shop for Jillian’s wedding dress at the famed Kleinfeld Bridal salon, as seen on Say Yes to the Dress! Jillian had her fairytale moment with a Dupioni silk ballgown. The romantic off-the-shoulder style featured a beaded sweetheart neckline and lace brocade bodice on top of a flowing skirt, perfect for an elegant Broadmoor wedding. Meanwhile, Mitchell selected a stunning pair of bridal shoes for Jillian. He chose the Hammond Feather Pump, a fun and flirty sandal with a sky-high heel and feathered strap from Something Bleu.

Classic Destination Wedding at The Broadmoor

Jillian grew up in Colorado and always knew she wanted to say “I do” at the iconic Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs when the day came. However, she and Mitchell lived in California throughout their engagement, making Colorado wedding planning more difficult. Enter Sapphire Celebrations! Our team was happy to help the couple plan and design their celebration and build a vendor team of Colorado’s most skilled wedding professionals.

Jillian wanted a classic and elegant wedding design that would enhance the beauty of The Broadmoor and First Christian Church, the couple’s ceremony venue. We accomplished the look she wanted with a simple and timeless blush-and-white color palette with navy blue accents. Statice Floral designed the floral arrangements, including Jillian’s bouquet of roses and silver dollar eucalyptus. Meanwhile, the bride managed the design and printing process for the couple’s custom navy blue-and-white wedding invitations with Perfect Press.
