Real Colorado Wedding: Rachel & Jason

Describe the proposal.

We went to a very nice steak house on Valentine’s Day called 3 forks. We sat down and had crab and shrimp appetizers and a bottle of red wine to start the night out. We had amazing steaks for dinner and then it was time for dessert.

The waiter brought out a silver platter and on the platter was an amazing piece of chocolate cake and on the platter in chocolate icing it said will you marry me? Everyone in the dining room started clapping for us and the wait staff brought us Champagne to celebrate!

We were getting married in Crested Butte, and we wanted the stationary to be a hint as to what our destination wedding would feel like.

Our flowers were in many different shades of white. I wanted elegant flowers. We chose green and champagne accents to give the wedding a clean crisp feel.

The centerpieces were hydrangeas and orchids. The flowers ended up being our favorite design element of the day.

When I started looking for my dress I tried on a few dresses but nothing caught my eye. I was looking for something very unique.

When I tried on the Maggie Soterro dress on I felt like a fairy princess. The detail was very intricate, and I knew it would look beautiful against the backdrop of Mt. Crested Butte.

We had a bride’s cake and a groom’s cake. The bride’s cake was in the romantic style I was using throughout the wedding. The groom’s cake was a chocolate cake dedicated to Jason’s love of The University of Texas.
