Choosing the right wedding photographer is probably the most important choice you will make, because only your wedding pictures are intended to be kept and cherished for years, even decades to come. The cake will be eaten. The flowers will wilt and be thrown away. Even your wedding venue has half of its importance because of how good it will look in your pictures. You will likely see your wedding pictures every day on your mantelpiece, or when you visit family. And when you see them, you don’t want to regret them, so make this choice...
Wedding flowers are one area where people are always looking to reduce costs, and there are lots of good ideas out there for doing it. Here are some of the most popular, ranked from the better ideas to some of the, well, dubious ones.

Flowers

If you had a true elopement, where you were running away to get married against the wishes of your family, this can be a great gesture to heal over the rift. And if you just had a small, intimate destination wedding, it will supply the other part of the wedding experience that you missed out on: the big...

A Dry Wedding
Woah—hold on there! Did you say “dry” as in no alcohol? Yep. It’s definitely unusual, but if your budget is very tight, it’s an option to consider. If you have...
An outdoor wedding is a great idea in Colorado. With more than 300 days of sunshine and low humidity, it’s usually very comfortable to be outside, even for guests in formal wear. Beautiful blue skies and the majestic Rockies also make for an excellent backdrop to your wedding. That’s why we designed our grounds so luxuriously, with winding stone paths, waterfalls, pavilions, and marble gazebos.
