Lundy and J did more than plan a beautiful destination wedding; they planned an entire vacation. From the heights of Telluride, Colorado, wedding guests celebrated the weekend in a unique mountain setting with back-to-back events, great food, soaring views, vibrant colors, and nonstop dancing.
“We wanted it all to be about having a big party!”, Lundy shared about her wedding planning process. The crew kicked off the weekend with bachelorette and bachelor parties. As more guests arrived to Colorado, they enjoyed a morning rehearsal brunch and evening welcome party.
“I loved our welcome party with pizza and a DJ!”, Lundy shared. It was the event that brought all of the guests together, and the one that set the tone for the bride’s favorite aspect of the weekend: “Having all of our people in the same space to celebrate us.”
When it came to the wedding day, Lundy wanted to create an event that was bright and welcoming. The couple chose the breathtaking ceremony and reception venue site unseen, though there was no doubt that the skyscraping peaks would create an unforgettable backdrop. Lundy’s inspiration for her vibrant color palette–oranges, reds, and pinks–came from Colorado’s summer wildflowers. “I’m usually pretty understated as far as colors are concerned in my everyday life,” Lundy admitted, “So it was really fun to play up the colors for the occasion.”
If vibrant is the best word for the floral scapes from Dahlia Floral Design, it’s also the best word for the energy of the wedding–and the bride and groom themselves. “I’m very fast-paced, and I always like to have something happening,” Lundy shared. She and J planned a day (down to the song selections) that was filled with energy, color, fun, and adventure. There was never a dull moment, from the post-ceremony gondola ride, to live event watercolor painter, to the late night Dom Perignon and french-fry bar. (Hot take–the bride vetoed ketchup.)
“The weekend went by so fast and turned into a memory so fast,” Lundy shared. Luckily for Lundy, J, and the guests, it’s a memory far too bright to fade any time soon.
