Freezing Day at an Epic Mountain Lookout in Boulder, Colorado

Boulder, Colorado, Mountain Elopement

I met Jess, the photographer, at a workshop last year and was so stoked when I found out she was coming to Colorado and wanted to do a shoot. I went to the wholesaler the day before and shopped the cooler, being drawn to all the bright colors, and then created a wild bouquet. Lots of texture, wiry greenery and unripened berries. It was so cold that all the flowers ended up freezing, like they were frozen in place. It was so cool.

mountain wedding in estes park, colorado

Estes Park, Colorado, Neutral, Cactus-Inspired Mountain Wedding

Mandi & Pace are like family to me, Mandi is my best friend’s older sister, so I was so stoked when they invited me down to Colorado to be their florist. With a great love for the outdoors and the Rocky Mountains, I knew I had to incorporate succulents, cacti and dried elements. Marci (Mandi’s sister) and I packed up the car with so many plants and materials and made the 20 hour drive straight to Colorado from Seattle. All photos by Wyat Taylor.

We battled the craziest summer thunderstorm with wind & rain and after trying to wait it out, we pivoted plans and moved the ceremony to under the awning. Like always, it turned out perfect.

Foraged mountain florals

The day before the wedding, we went out foraging in the dry mountainous landscape, creating these bundles to be placed on each persons place setting.

This was my first time ever in Colorado and it truly is such a magical place.
