Saturday, January 30th, 2010

In my previous post, I listed Phantom Canyon Brewing Co. as a possible venue for our wedding ceremony and reception. Out of what I’ve seen online so far regarding venues in Colorado Springs, Phantom Canyon is at the top of my list. Share on Facebook

Color Me a Wedding – Mellow Yellow

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

Per request, here is the revised color scheme including yellow. Also, I was thinking that the green would get pulled from the stems, foliage, accents and such, as opposed to be one of the flower colors in the bouquets. How are you liking this now? Share on Facebook

Color Me a Wedding – Down to Specifics

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

After much deliberation, I think I have come up with the color scheme. I used Kuler (such a useful app!) to help me find colors that Dave and I like and go well together. Voilà! I know they are incredibly bright, but they will be up against black and white, so it won’t be overwhelming. [...]

This is the second biggest question that needs to get answered. Ideally, Dave and I would like to take a long weekend and visit various venues so we can scope them out and then decide. However, I’m not sure if we’ll both be able to get away. Currently I am perusing possible venue websites and [...]

Pikes Peak or Bust

Monday, January 18th, 2010

I’m an organization freak. So needless to say, after getting engaged I loaded up on wedding planning gear which included a couple wedding mags, notebook, folders, etc. I’ve also been a member of TheKnot.com for several years (never too early to start planning), but only now has theknot.com become a vital part of my life.
