Kate & Bryce's South Does Colorado Wedding at the Grand Hyatt Vail

Kate and Bryce were a Texas couple that found me on Instagram. Kate and I immediately fell in love over the phone because who couldn’t love her strong southern accent? Kate had selected the Grand Hyatt Vail for her wedding without even visiting the space first, she just knew! On this couples special day they opted for a first look on the top of Vail Mountain and mannn did the photos by Kelsey Booth Photography come out perfect! Bryce brought a bottle of champagne up the mountain to celebrate with his future wife. After their first look they rode down the gondola together (alone without photographers) for some extra alone time! The design for this wedding was stunning with colors of dusty blue, ivory, and soft blush pinks! For flowers, which were created by Anthia Designs, Kate wanted an on the ground half circle arch and floral lined aisle that made the space look like the flowers were sprouting up around guests and the couple. It turned out absolutely perfect! The couple exchanged vows on the ceremony lawn right next to the rushing river. For recessional music the brides mother surprised the couple with a bag piper that lead the guests from the ceremony to cocktail hour with his traditional Irish tunes. For dinner the couple had stations which served some of their favorite food like a macaroni and cheese bar and a build your own potato bar (Complete with purple potatoes that I’ve never seen before). Their cake, created by Babycakes Steamboat, simply showcased the Colorado mountains in fondant. The cake topper was the brides grandmothers that every grandchild had used at their wedding since (complete with crusted icing from all the past cakes. So cute and personal! For their dance party the newlyweds had me handout light up tamborines to all their guests and they had such a blast with them! Their wedding day ended on a high not with a private last dance for the bride and groom, breakfast burritos provided by the brides aunt and a cutesy sparkler send off! Kate and Bryce wanted to bring the south to the Colorado mountains, and oh man did they throw one hell of a party!
