Lovely winter weddings

I have writers block.  I'm eating a brownie in hopes that it will help.  I've heard chocolate helps.  At least I think I did.  Writer's block sucks.  Not gonna lie.  Writing has always been sort of a creative outlet for me.   Yes.  Professional designers need creative outlets too.  I had a friend ask me once if I ever experienced 'designer's block'.  I had to think about that.  Have I?  Nope. I can honestly say in 11 years as a designer, I've never experienced designer's block.  I think it's because I have so many amazingly beautiful things around me that continue to inspire me.  Wow! Utah is a beautiful place.  Wow! I work with such amazingly beautiful brides.  My brides have such fantastic visions of how they want to see the space.  It's so fun to collaborate through the planning process, fine tune the designs and watch as the final designs comes together.
The images from Allyson's and Kyle's weddings really captured the romantic candlelit winter wedding we were after.  Allyson was such an amazing talent to work with and design for.  She really wanted a gorgeous country style wedding and I think this one was over-the-top-beautiful.  After months of phone calls, emailing images, mock ups and a LOTS of fine tuning, the result was stunning.
We had a killer team working on this wedding.  With myself and quite possibly the world's greatest design assistant and right hand, Dayna on top of the florals, candles and design details with Allyson, we had Alpine Event Rentals providing beautiful bistro lights, unique lanterns and the always essential chivari chairs.  The coordination of the event was meticulously handled by my personal fave Kristin Spear and the Soiree Productions team.  The AMAZING images were captured by Sarah at Lindsay Jane Photography and the festivities took place at spectacular Sundance Resort.  This wedding was truly special and every detail was thoughtful and meaningful.
