Dual-Ceremony Wedding at The Broadmoor

There are weddings, and then there are celebrations so breathtaking they leave an everlasting mark on everyone involved. The wedding we recently had the pleasure of designing floral arrangements for at The Broadmoor, alongside the incredibly talented team at A Charming Fete from Ohio, was undoubtedly one of those unforgettable experiences.

Our couple began their day with a traditional Indian wedding ceremony set against the majestic backdrop of the Broadmoor’s west lawn. The Mandap, the focal point of this ceremony, was covered in cascading blooms of purples and blues with vivid touches of hot pink—perfectly complementing the bride’s vibrant Indian ceremony gown. The colorful florals infused the space with energy and joy, setting the tone for what was to be a day full of love, laughter, and beauty.

As the Indian ceremony came to a close, we were thrilled to help transform the west lawn into an entirely new space for the afternoon white-dress ceremony. For this second vow exchange, we created a lush floral arch adorned with radiant purple blooms that framed the couple perfectly. The aisle was lined with a stunning collection of purple florals, with whimsical pops of large allium adding a playful touch to the setting. These fun, spherical blooms brought a sense of joy and lightness to an otherwise elegant and classic design, reflecting the couple’s vibrant personalities.

The bridesmaids, dressed in lovely mauve floor-length dresses, carried bouquets in shades of purple and champagne. Their bouquets were filled with garden roses, ranunculus, tweedia, and delicate clematis, blending seamlessly into the overall aesthetic of the day. These bouquets provided a softer contrast against the bold colors of the earlier ceremony, creating a beautiful harmony between the two celebrations.

Once the couple exchanged vows again in the afternoon, guests gathered for cocktails and dinner on the stunning Broadmoor Mountain View Terrace. We wanted this space to feel fresh, whimsical, and intimate, so we draped the terrace’s iron chandeliers with cascading blooms of delphinium and wisteria in shades of blue and purple. These florals not only softened the space but brought a garden feel, giving the reception an airy and enchanting ambiance.

The long tables, covered in mauve shantung linens, were adorned with arrangements of blooms in purples and blues, accented by taper candles in soft shades of light blue and ivory. The soft flickering of candlelight added a romantic glow to the room, while the lush arrangements created an atmosphere of opulence and celebration. One of the most striking features was the Broadmoor’s large fireplace, which we topped with a bountiful floral arrangement in the wedding’s color palette, adding a touch of extra elegance and grandeur to the space.

As the evening unfolded, the couple and their guests danced the night away around the Broadmoor's iconic fountain, which we adorned with florals that cascaded down its sides, creating a stunning focal point for the evening’s celebrations. The flicker of lights, combined with the lush florals, transformed the terrace into a whimsical, romantic oasis.

It was truly an honor to be part of such a magical day. Working with A Charming Fete and bringing this couple’s vision to life was an experience we will always cherish. Every petal, bloom, and arrangement was a reflection of their unique love story, and we couldn’t be happier to have played a role in their unforgettable celebration.

Layers of Lovely Floral Design is always delighted to create floral magic at a location as iconic and breathtaking as The Broadmoor, and this wedding will undoubtedly be one that stays close to our hearts for years to come.

If you’re envisioning a wedding full of lush florals, whimsical touches, and breathtaking views, we’d love to help bring your dream day to life!

A Winter Wonderland Wedding at Devil's Thumb Ranch

Set in the snow-covered mountains of Colorado, Devil's Thumb Ranch provided the perfect backdrop for a winter wedding that can only be described as enchanting. On this snowy day, the air was filled with a crisp freshness, and the landscape was painted in pure white, setting the stage for a day that felt like it was plucked straight from a winter fairy tale.

The Bride’s Elegance and the Perfect Bouquet

The bride was a vision of timeless beauty, draped in a long-sleeve lace dress that perfectly matched the elegance of the snowy surroundings. Her bouquet was a lush, rounded arrangement of pristine white and creamy ivory flowers, subtly accented with greenery that added a touch of natural charm without detracting from the purity of the design. The simplicity of neutral blooms combined with the soft touch of foliage created a bouquet that was both classic and modern, perfectly complementing the bride’s sophisticated look.

Boutonnières and Flower Girls in Harmony

The groom and his groomsmen wore boutonnières that echoed the bride’s bouquet, with delicate white spray roses accented by sprigs of foliage. These small, yet impactful details tied the bridal party together beautifully. The flower girls, in their white dresses, wore halos of flowers that mirrored the bride's bouquet, creating a harmonious visual that was both innocent and elegant.

A Ceremony to Remember in the Broad Axe Barn

The ceremony took place in the Broad Axe Barn, a space that exudes rustic charm and warmth. We transformed the aisle into a pathway through a winter forest, lining it with oversized trees that reached towards the ceiling, their bases surrounded by soft candlelight. The flickering flames cast a warm glow on the snow outside, creating an intimate and serene atmosphere.

The bride and groom exchanged vows in front of the barn’s grand fireplace, which was adorned with a stunning arrangement of white florals and lush greenery. The fireplace, with its roaring fire, served as both a literal and figurative centerpiece, representing the warmth of their love on this cold, snowy day.

A Reception of Warmth and Romance in the High Lonesome Barn

Following the ceremony, guests were invited to the High Lonesome Barn for a reception that continued the theme of rustic elegance. The barn’s high ceilings and exposed beams provided the perfect canvas for us to drape greenery from the rafters, creating a canopy of natural beauty overhead.

The table layout featured all rectangular tables, each adorned with three arrangements of white florals, accented with greenery in antique-inspired pewter vases. The arrangements were intentionally kept low, allowing for conversation to flow freely across the tables, while still providing visual interest. Candles dotted the tables, adding a soft, romantic glow that made the entire space feel warm and inviting, despite the chill outside.

A Day to Remember

This winter wedding at Devil's Thumb Ranch was nothing short of magical. The snow-covered landscape, combined with the thoughtful floral designs and warm ambiance, created a day that the bride, groom, and their guests will cherish forever. It was a true honor to bring this vision to life, proving that even the coldest days can be filled with the warmth of love and the beauty of nature.

A Perfect Vail Valley Wedding: Shelby & Keifer

Nestled high in the breathtaking landscape of Vail, Colorado, Shelby and Keifer’s wedding was nothing short of magical. The couple chose The 10th, a venue known for its stunning views and elegant ambiance, as the perfect place to exchange their vows and celebrate their love.

The Ceremony: A Vail Valley Vista

Shelby and Keifer's ceremony took place with the awe-inspiring Vail Valley as the backdrop.

Shelby looked radiant in her lace dress, while her bridesmaids complemented the scene perfectly in their copper-colored dresses. As the ceremony concluded, guests showered the newlyweds with dried blooms, adding a whimsical and joyful touch to the proceedings.

A Delightful Dinner at The 10th

Following the ceremony, guests moved inside The 10th for a dinner that was both intimate and grand. The reception area featured a beautiful mix of round and long tables, each adorned with unique centerpieces that brought the couple's color scheme to life.

The round tables boasted elevated centerpieces of lush blooms on elegant gold square stands, creating a sense of height and drama. The long tables, on the other hand, were decorated with a mix of runner centerpieces and a collection of small and medium arrangements, adding variety and visual interest to the space. Taupe taper candles flickered softly, casting a romantic glow over the evening.

Dancing Under the Stars

After dinner, the celebration moved outside to a clear-top tent where guests danced the night away under the twinkling stars. The tent was a vision of elegance, featuring a large floral halo suspended above the dance floor, soft seating areas, and floral arrangements that tied the entire theme together beautifully.

The floral halo, in particular, was a show-stopper, creating a focal point that drew everyone's eyes upwards as they enjoyed the festivities. Soft seating provided a cozy place for guests to relax and take in the enchanting atmosphere.

Shelby and Keifer’s wedding at The 10th in Vail was a perfect blend of natural beauty and sophisticated elegance.

A Dreamy Wedding at Garden of the Gods Resort

When planning wedding florals, there's a certain magic that unfolds with every bloom and every arrangement. At Layers of Lovely Floral Design, we had the distinct pleasure of bringing to life a vision of elegance and natural beauty for a stunning wedding at the Garden of the Gods Resort in Colorado Springs.

The Venue: Nature’s Majesty

The Garden of the Gods Resort offers an awe-inspiring backdrop, where the rugged beauty of Colorado’s red rock formations meets the lush greenery of the resort's meticulously maintained lawns. As florists, we were inspired by the majestic setting, and our goal was to create florals that would not only complement but also enhance the natural beauty surrounding the couple on their special day.

The Bride’s Bouquet: A Symphony of Soft Hues

The bride carried a breathtaking bouquet that harmonized perfectly with the serene and romantic ambiance of the location. The bouquet featured a delicate mix of white, ivory, blush, and touches of yellow flowers, including nerine, garden roses, ranunculus, and jasmine. This combination created a soft, ethereal look, with each bloom symbolizing the beauty and grace of the bride herself. The jasmine added an enchanting fragrance, making the bouquet even more memorable.

The Ceremony: Love Blossoming Under an Open Sky

The ceremony took place on the expansive lawn of the resort, overlooking the iconic rock formations of the Garden of the Gods. The couple stood before an open-top arch, covered in lush florals in shades of peach, white, ivory, and blush, intertwined with abundant greenery. This floral archway was a statement of natural elegance, framing the couple beautifully as they exchanged their vows.

Cocktail Hour: Celebrating in Nature

Following the ceremony, guests enjoyed a delightful cocktail hour on the lawn. The florals here were kept minimal yet elegant, allowing the guests to fully appreciate the stunning natural surroundings. Simple yet sophisticated arrangements graced the cocktail tables, providing a seamless transition from the ceremony to the reception.

The Reception: A Floral Extravaganza

The reception hall was a spectacle of floral artistry. Tall centerpieces adorned with flowers in the wedding's color scheme were displayed on elegant gold stands, creating a sense of height and grandeur. These centerpieces were surrounded by taper candles, which added a romantic glow as the evening progressed.

The head table was the pièce de résistance—a long runner centerpiece overflowing with a lush mix of flowers and greenery, accented with numerous candles. This setup not only highlighted the bridal party but also set a luxurious and intimate tone for the evening.

The Cake Table: A Floral Wonderland

The cake table was nothing short of extraordinary. It was framed by a grand floral arch, making it a focal point of the reception. Florals cascaded down to the ground, creating a lavish display that celebrated both the beauty of the wedding cake and the couple’s love story. This over-the-top floral arrangement provided a perfect backdrop for cutting the cake, with guests admiring the artistry and effort behind it.

Reflections

Designing the florals for this wedding at the Garden of the Gods Resort was a truly rewarding experience.

As a wedding floral designer, every wedding I design is a unique story told through blooms and greenery. One of my favorite chapters this season was a stunning September Broadmoor Hotel Wedding in Colorado Springs. The setting, the colors, and the couple’s vision came together to create a timeless and classic celebration that I am thrilled to share with you.

A Picturesque Broadmoor Hotel Wedding Ceremony on the Lake Terrace

The day began on Broadmoor’s enchanting Lake Terrace, where the bride and groom exchanged their vows. Framed by four large urn arrangements overflowing with roses, garden roses, hydrangeas, and an abundance of lush greenery, the scene was set for a fairytale beginning. The urns stood as silent sentinels, their blooms cascading gracefully, capturing the elegance and romance of the moment.

The aisle was a pathway of dreams, lined with boxes of flowers that mirrored the beauty of the urn arrangements. At the back of the aisle, two more grand urns anchored the space, creating a harmonious and inviting entrance for the guests. The soft palette of white and ivory with accents champagne added a delicate and sophisticated touch, perfectly complementing the serene backdrop of the lake.

An Elegant Reception in the Lake Terrace Dining Room

Following the heartfelt ceremony, the celebration continued in the Broadmoor’s Lake Terrace Dining Room. The room was transformed into a floral wonderland, where every detail spoke of classic elegance and timeless beauty.

These towering displays were balanced by the low centerpieces, which brought the beauty of the flowers to eye level, encouraging intimate conversations and adding a personal touch to each table.

The Sweetheart Table: A Floral Haven for Two

At the heart of the reception was the sweetheart table, where the newlyweds shared their first meal as husband and wife. This table was a floral haven, adorned with a lush garland of blooms and greenery that sprawled on the ground in front of the table, creating a romantic and enchanting focal point. The combination of roses, garden roses, hydrangeas, tweedia, and ranunculus in soft hues of white, ivory, blush, and blue, accented with champagne, echoed the day’s theme and added an extra layer of beauty to the couple’s special moment.

Reflecting on a Beautiful Day

Designing the floral arrangements for this classic and traditional Broadmoor Hotel wedding was a true joy.
