Sarah + Jeremy
Season: Summer
Style: Unique
These are a few of my favorite things:
“Will You Marry Me?” and “I Do!” in the same spot
Jeremy asked Sarah to marry him at the Lion’s Den in Durango. It became an obvious spot for their ceremony as well. It looks over the city of Durango up through the northern valley—a great place in case of rain too, with the adjacent rustic pavilion nearby. They got married under blue skies in front of an arch, handmade by the groom, decorated with fabric, flowers, and a pair of antlers. It was breathtaking!
Let the Party Begin, and Keep Going...
The Rochester Hotel made a lovely site for their reception. Just 8 minutes away from the Lion’s Den, the picturesque courtyard, indoor and outdoor bars, and the hotel, completely rented out to wedding guests, made for the perfect staycation celebration! The Peeples Bar at the Rochester is also available to rent for the afterparty, which they did, allowing festivities to move inside for the rest of the evening.
Let Them Eat Cake...Or Not?
Not every wedding needs to have a traditional wedding cake. Sarah and Jeremy chose to bypass tradition in favor of a smorgasbord of desserts, which included mini kouign amann, mini ginger cookies, mini oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, mini blueberry "Pop-Tarts", mini chocolate fudge "Pop-Tarts", mini red velvet bundt cakes, and mini gluten-free brownies. Delicious either way!
