They don’t call them the ICON Awards for nothing. ✨
This year's CEA gala was one for the books. There is nothing quite like being in a room full of the people who make this industry. We were beaming with pride seeing so many of our vendor peers recognized for the magic they pulled off in 2025!
Providing the rentals to set the stage for our community is always a highlight, but it’s the collaboration that makes it iconic. @sugarwillowevents , you brought the drama and a vision that only you could execute. @epicureancatering , the menu was a literal work of art. @bustleandbloomco , those florals were absolute perfection. And a huge thank you to @hannahquintana for capturing the night so beautifully—we’re going to be obsessing over these photos for a long time.
Thank you to everyone who made this possible. Colorado events are in good hands. 🥂

Since we’re at the beginning of the wedding season, I’ll start posting weddings from the end of last season 🙃
I loved working with Katherine and Eric on their Halloween wedding, an amazing couple that wanted to lean into the Halloween element but keep the vibes moody but not camp.

You picture this moment so many times.
The walk down the aisle.
Seeing everyone you love in one room.
That first look, that first breath, that “this is really happening” feeling.
And then it is here.
Everything feels easy. Everything flows. You are present for all of it.
That is what we care about.

Ingrid and Haley are a charismatic, joyful, couple who find shared value in protecting the environment and the earth's people. As an example of this, they brought their friends and family together before the wedding to help them package narcan kits to donate to a service organization in Denver.
They have lived life fast paced, adventurous, and also deeply slow and appreciative, as evidenced by the hand panted watercolor prints of their travels they gave as gifts to their guests.
Their parent's relationship is a role model for their own circle of friends (the original pookies) and the family and friends turned out in droves to celebrate with them at @upperlarimer on a beautiful fall day.
They each brought personal style to the day, with Haley wearing her mother's wedding dress, revamped, and adding in her grandmother's veil as a last minute shoulder cape, because...it was an awesome look.
From personalized vows, to delicious Tibetan food, to a packed and incredible dance floor, it was a joyous day joining these two together.
