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 | Kelsey & Brandon | Shove Chapel

When meeting a bride for the first time, we barely know them and as the planning process develops, we start to see the light that shines in their life. A light I saw shine into Kelsey's life was love. Love for Brandon, love for her family, love for her new extended family and love for her friends. Kelsey wanted nothing more then to make this day about the ones she loves. She wanted her father to have his moments, she wanted her brothers to have their moments, she wanted Brandon's bother to have his moment and then she wanted Brandon to have a moment with his truck!

The day was about LOVE and it was simply beautiful. Kelsey's Uncle performed the ceremony for his niece because he loved her more than anything and wanted this moment to come straight from the heart.

Her brothers each read heartfelt readings during the ceremony, but read them from the heart instead of just going through the motions. And her father performed a choreographed dance, they had once done in her childhood as their first dance. It was one of the most entertaining and unique moments I had ever seen. Something I will always cherish in my mind when I think back of Kelsey.

Brandon and Kelsey were beyond fun and so were their friends and family. From the bridal party, to family members and guests, each and every one of them wanted to have fun! It was a night of enjoyment to be had by all.

Thank you Brandon and Kelsey for having me be apart of your special day. It was beyond fun and entertaining and I do not have words for how thankful I am to have met you both. You are so sweet!

Its the smallest of things that someone does that can turn your entire day around. A simple text message stating "Wow, just watched slide show, incredible, awesome job, I'm crying again!" that makes our jobs complete. That text message came from Kelsey's father as he watched the slide show I had made. He took the time to send a message that turned my entire day around to say how much he loved it! But that showed how much love he had for his daughter. Thank you Robert and Kim for being so wonderful and for being YOU! It was great to share this special day with the two of you also the entire Thompson/Hurtado family.
Congratulations to all!
