A Mountain Wedding

 
Hello friends!
We just returned home from a fabulous 2 week trip to Colorado & Wyoming.
First stop on our trip was my cousin Morgan's Colorado mountain wedding.
She met her mountain man Pete in Steamboat Springs where they teach high school, ski and climb mountains.
 
 
The week long festivities took place at Midnight Ranch, about 30 miles North of Steamboat Springs.  The 105 acre ranch has a huge trout pond & 3 cabins. They had BBQs, kayaks, hiking trips & a bunch of other activities planned to keep everyone busy. 
 It was really a gorgeous place.
 


 
The morning of the wedding was spent transforming this enormous tent into Morgan's dream space.
 



 
 She had spent months planning & designing every wonderful detail.
 

 
By 4pm we were hiking up to the ceremony spot.


 
It was a perfect summer day.  Clear skies, 80 degrees and no humidity!
Just like Texas.
 


 
I was expecting a carriage ride up the hill for the bride, but I about died when I saw a tractor in the distance.
 


There's more than one way to get up a mountain:)
 

 
The ring bearers were adorable in their suspenders and hats.

 
Then came the junior bridesmaid pulling a goat cart with twin flower girls.
 


 
Morgan was a beautiful bride.
She is not a fru fru type of girl and had a hard time finding the right dress.
In the end she settled on a very simple but elegant vintage style gown adorned with pretty French lace.

 


They wrote their own vows and the friend who introduced them years ago officiated.
It was all very sweet and I cried through the whole thing.
 

 
Everything from the cakes to the band were created & contributed by friends & family.
Everyone worked together to bring Morgan & Pete's wedding vision to life.
 
 
Somebody call security.
Who let these goons in?
 

 
Morgan's principal roasted a pig. It was delicious,
but Philip was thinking it might be a good time to become a vegetarian.




 
My contributions included a guest book, & the ring bearer pillow.
My gift to the couple, was a vintage wedding book.
 

 
I was in such a hurry to get it finished in time that I forgot to take pictures.
Here are a few from my iphone.
  

The book is filled with photo's from past family weddings, I left a page blank for their own wedding.

 
I was inspired by Lori Oles & her wedding book that was featured in Sew last month.
 


The picture above is my Grandmother & Grandfather.
Unfortunately I have no pictures from their wedding.

 
The little people on the right are my Great Grandparents.

 




Howard Stern crashed the wedding.
 

 
A row boat carried the new couple to their wedding suite, a tent done up 'Out of Africa' style.
 

 
The sun set and the party kicked into high gear. 



Next Stop, Grand Lake!

Hi Lisa, What a wonderful wedding. Outdoor weddings are just so romantic, aren't they? Morgan was such a beautiful bride and I love her dress. All the best for the sweet couple!
Your wedding book is gorgeous. That was a wonderful gift and I'm sure they loved it.
Happy weekend and stay cool!

Oh Lisa, the bride, that tent, the honeymoon tent but most of all your gift to them, all so gorgeous. It sure looked like a fabulous time was had.

Hi Lisa
Now I know why you have been so busy!
What a most wonderful farm wedding! In fact, to my eyes the very best!
Loved everything about it probably because I too live on a small farm and will be hosting a Vintage garden wedding here in November!
Loved how Morgan arrived on the tractor - her dress - the little goat cart carrying the flower girls but of course your Vintage Wedding book will be a dream for Morgan with all that family wedding history to reflect on.
Those memories will stay with you for quite some time to come.
All so GORGEOUS! and no doubt a great holiday for your little family.
Big hugs from Wintery Australia,
Suzy
