When I got the inquiry from Brooke in Spring of 2023, I was shocked to hear that Brooke and her fiancé, Aaron, would be planning their wedding in under 6 months! I was enticed by their colorful ideas for their mountainside wedding right outside of Rocky Mountain National Park.
Fast forward to August 13, 2023 and their dream was brought to life! Between the smiliest bride I have ever seen and the gorgeous array of flowers chosen, their mountain wedding was perfected by its location, Della Terra Mountain Chateau. It was the perfect blend of mountain, whimsical, and colorful. Exactly what the bride had ordered!
The day began with getting ready photos, Brooke’s mother helping her into her dress, an emotional first look with Brooke’s father, and revealing her dress for the first time to her bridesmaids! There were smiles, tears, and so much laughter!! Then came the first look between Aaron and Brooke. On a stone bridge, snuggled up next to the mountainside, they shared an intimate moment and shared their gifts with each other.
The ceremony was thoughtful and full of all of the day’s happiness! There was not a dry eye in the crowd, but constantly followed by laughter as they had many people speak about their love. They did the CUTEST flower petal toss after the ceremony and it inspired me to have my own flower petal toss at my wedding!
The evening continued with beautiful parent dances, a boisterous cocktail hour, meaningful speeches, and then the dance floor absolutely came to life. The crowd did not leave the dance floor once and there was actual sadness when the evening came to an end. Aaron and Brooke were sent off on a golf cart with well wishes!
