Boettcher Mansion Wedding

Wow, I just realized I never posted on one of my favorite weddings. Dee Dee, an elementary school teacher and Stephen, a phys. ed. professional were wed in June at Boettcher Mansion in Golden.

We went with a nature theme with bright, jewel-toned colors, as in the ones seen here in the centerpieces. Orange, purple and red ribbon flowed from the outdoor arbor on the flagstone patio where the couple said their vow.s A twig of pine was tucked into each napkin with a pinecone at each place setting. The pinecones were collected personally by the bride and groom on nature hikes, leading up to their wedding day. Each table was labeled with the name of a national or state park that the bride and groom had visited together.The flowers were provided by Ria, with Nature's Grace Design, the cake made by a friend of the bride. Photos of the bride and groom's parents adorned their cake table.

At the end of the night, guests were shuttled back to their hotels, each with a World Famous Johnson's Corner cinnamon roll. The newlyweds departed in a turquose, vintage automobile, admittedly the photographer's favorite focal point to capture that night.
