Wedding at Pines at Genesee

Lisa and Tim love the Colorado outdoors, so it was only fitting that they hold their vows nestled in the pine trees in our not too distant foothills of Golden, Colorado at the appropriately named Pines at Genesee. The ceremony, which was officiated over by Chris Mohr, from Foothill's Chapel, was held on the lower stone patio under a wooden arbor draped in luxurious pink satin. The couple participated in a sand ceremony and enjoyed a reading and song by close, personal friends.

Hot pink bridesmaids' bouquets by Plum Sage Floral, added a punch of color while Lisa's soft pink and ivory bouquet complimented her billowing strapless gown with pick ups. Charms holding photos of the bride's grandparents were attached to the wrapped stems, allowing their spirits to be present on that special day. Guests threw rose petals from custom made paper cones hung on aisle chairs stamped with the couple's repeated wedding design (a rose for the bride, whose maiden-name was "Rosebush.")

Following outdoor photos of the family and wedding party, guests moved inside or to the outdoor deck to enjoy hors d'ouvres and the couple's signature pink cocktail, "The Lovebird." Guests placed their cards and gifts in the gift wagon, before signing the couple's photo guestbook and finding their seats in the reception room which floor to celiling windows allowed the outside to be enjoyed in. Table decoration was kept simple with floating candles and strung orchids in cylinders, everything of course, in a shade of pink. The mother of the groom provided favor cones for each couple and a kid's bag, with small toys, snacks and craft items was placed at each child's place setting.

The three-tier cake, made by Das Meyer Bakery was cut into after dinner, then dancing ensued as fun was had by all. As always, Quality Mobile Sound made sure that guests were up and moving until the very end.

One highlight of the night, for the bride, was a song performed by her old sorority as they surrounded her on the dancefloor for this tradition. At the end of the evening, family and friends waited outside to watch the bride and groom depart by vintage automobile courtesy of Rich's Old Autos.
