Who wouldn't adore any piece of jewelry in that light blue box with a crisp, white ribbon from Tiffany's? This summer color trend uses that pale blue paired with some soft, butter yellows and citrus orange on a background of heavenly white. Less is more with this simplistic palatte, adding most of the punches of color through florals. Choose a vintage look, Letterpress invite, tied with white satin ribbon. For a shabby chic look, mix and match different patterns of china, tea pots and vases. In your bouquet and centerpieces, you many choose roses, daffodils, irises and lillies. Of course, as your guests depart, leave them with a touch of Tiffany's, with a small. light blue, Italian favor box filled with jordan almonds, wrapped up in a white bow.

Part 2: Wedding Planner's FAM to Beaver Creek/Aspen
On day two, we went to one more local venue, Vista at Arrowhead , a beautiful country club with views of the greens.
Then began the trek up to Aspen, via Colorado Mountain Express. On our way, we stopped for lunch in Wolcott at a the rustic 4 Eagle Ranch with gorgeous views. Tom and Tess treated us with the best chili I have ever tasted before we toured their indoor and outdoor event spaces. With over 60 horses and a tame buffolo, they so dearly named "Reject," this was truley an authentic western venue.
Sarah Reynolds, sreynolds@hjerome.com , took us to The historic Hotel Jerome, in Aspen, this year celebrating its 120th year. Cocktails in the grand ballroom with some fabulous vendors, including Halcyon Productions and Robin Proctor, were followed by a multi-course dinner in the library. I was deeply impressed by the chef who managed to whip up and entirely different, gluten -free, menu for a fellow guest at the last minute.
More drinks followed at The J-Bar as we hoped to catch a glimpse at a frequenting celebrity.

Beaver Creek and Aspen Wedding Planners FAM Weekend
Thanks to the Rock Resorts team at Beaver Creek's Osprey and Aspen's Hotel Jerome for hosting the Wedding Planner's FAM weekend! There's so much to re-cap, I will be highlighting different aspects of our tours over the weekend, in numerous blog posts. Please stay tuned to hear about all that these mountain cities have to offer in the way of Colorado destination weddings.
Here is where we stayed the first night:
The hotel is located in close proximity of The Chapel at Beaver Creek, available for non-denominational wedding ceremonies.
For dinner we traveled to Saddle Ridge and received an informative tour of all of its historic, Old West artifacts. We talked with the staff and viewed photo albums of Beaver Creek's other wedding venues, Allie's Cabin and Beano's Cabin
Our breakfast awaited us the following morning in the Osprey's Peregrine Room.
Please contact my friend Tommy Geary for more information on group sales at The Osprey Hotel at Beaver Creek.
