Do you like COUTURE?...How about COUTUREcolorado? | Colorado Springs wedding planner

Many of us set yearly goals with hopes that when December 31st rolls around, we have completed these goals and are ready to set new ones for the following year. When starting my business I had high hopes that I would make it huge; be the next David Tutera or have my own Storibook Weddings show! But that quickly came to a halt when my very literal husband explained that it takes any good business five years to successfully grow and make it. "Hello! Did you not remember who you married?" I did not want to wait five years! I wanted the success now!!! But its been a dream world doing what I love and I can't wait 'til that success hits!

As I go through the years I try different avenues for marketing. This year I am happy to announce that I am a proud LIST member for COUTUREcolorado, a one-of-a-kind online magazine and exclusive resource guide. After speaking with the founder, Laura Dombrowski, I fell in love with her concept and idea. She said one word that made me believe in her and what she was creating..."community". She wanted to create a small community. While Laura put it simply, that word had a heartfelt impact on me. It made this huge industry seem as if there is a softer side. A side where you can be huge, yet small at the same time. I liked that!

If you haven't visited COUTUREcolorado, you have to! The site is amazing! Not only can you choose some of the States most amazing vendors, but you can get ideas, inspiration and style. 

I feel so proud to be amongst so many talented vendors in all of Colorado. Check out the amazing Event Planners I am amongst, as well as all the other LIST members!

And within the first week of January, I can already mark one goal off my list...finding a community where I belong....Thank you Laura!

Colorado Springs Wedding Planner | Denver Art Museum Wedding

I have a huge passion for fashion. I should be living in New York City, shopping on 5^th Avenue and living and breathing the fashion industry (my husband thinks otherwise!). But my life has taken me on a different route, to a location that has crisp mountain air, with 70 degree temperature’s one day and snow the next. So I just dream of the NY lifestyle!

When I started my wedding/event planning business I set a long term goals of coordinating a fashion show. I would love to attend fashion week and even help coordinate one of the runway shows. So maybe one day I will accomplish that goal.

While I haven't quite made it to fashion week, I was able to get a glimpse in the fashion world. I spotted an Oscar De La Renta dress my bride had picked out and fell in love!  Not only was it from one of the most prestigious designers, but it was the most beautiful salmon color I had ever seen. What did I love more, the fact it was Oscar De La Renta or salmon? 

Not only was her dress extraordinary, but Terry got married at the Denver Art Museum with pipe, drape and beautiful floral filling the entire lower level. Guests sipped on champagne while Terry and Tom’s ceremony was performed on the stairs for all to see.

Candles and fresh rose petals lined the stairway to give the most beautiful glow throughout the night.

 
It was a night full of mingling and dancing with the sounds of Soul School band playing all night long. There is nothing better than a live band! Soul School was top notch!

Thank you Terry for the beautiful memories and for being you...It was such a pleasure to get to know you and your family. I will never forget what Terry said when we first met....she said "I trust your eyes from your picture on your website" And from that day, its was a great journey.
