Dripping with gorgeous details, a wedding we designed was recently featured on
Style Me Pretty highlighted for its romantic Colorado elegance. Curated by
Calluna Events, we were over the moon to concept and design beautiful florals for such a sophisticated affair!
From our owner and creative leader, Cindy Ollig:
"Last year, our dear friend and fellow retailer, Rosella Louis, asked us to concept wedding decor for her adorable future daughter in law, Olivia Barabe, with her son Daniel. Daniel, who also owns Revamped in Cherry Creek, and Olivia, who now runs The Brass Bed for Rosella, met when they were just sixteen. I was struck by how they supported and guided each other through the design process, always staying true to the essence of the looks that defined them as a couple.
Olivia longed for soft, lush, and perpetually romantic floral for Devils Thumb Ranch. She loved the rounded paveed blooms of peonies and ranunculus and we loved how the shapes of those blossoms side by side mimicked the beautiful curve of her initial, creating 1000 tiny "O's" throughout the room.
We added blushing la Lorraine peonies, blush black eyed anemone and seashell pink astilbe to the palette and used blush dupioni linen from our friends at La Tavola linens as a backdrop.
Daniel loves to juxtapose wood elements and unexpected materials in his store and taking a cue from him, we mixed silvery mercury glass and crystal chandelier prisms with the 100 year old beams of the ranch. The transition at play between formal and rough was magical, as usual.
Rosella was excited about a garden look at the vaulted ceremony structure in the meadow. Starting with that thought, we created two "growing" climbing columns of garden roses and jasmine that wound asymmetrically up the sides of the arch.
Heather and Jolene from
Calluna Events guided every expressed wish and afterthought through to the end and made our job a breeze. We can't thank them enough.
I want to thank Tara Murphy Huston, my wedding manager, for riding shotgun on the design piece and executing this floral scape at
Devil's Thumb Ranch. She is a rock.
Olivia and Daniel made the whole affair one beautiful work of art, from their visible love and support for each other to their creative and honest input. They have solid staying power as a couple and inspire us all. "
Cindy Ollig,
