My Wedding Reception Ideas

Breathtaking Summer Wedding in Colorado

We can't thank Aldabella Photography enough for sharing this incredible wedding with us. With the mountains as their picture-perfect backdrop, Maggie and Henry tied the knot in front of their family, friends, and the Colorado Rocky Mountains. With breathtaking blue skies all day and a sunset for the books, the weather was perfect for an outdoor summer wedding. We won't keep you any longer from this gorgeous wedding, so feel free to spend your afternoon daydreaming of a wedding in the Rockies...

Window shutters were used to display the seating charts, directing guests to their seats in style.

Long, farmhouse style tables with elegant wooden chairs feature a minimalist design, with lace table runners, flowers in glass vases, and white lanterns. A few round tables were mixed in to give the reception a more intimate feel. We can't get enough of this gorgeous event space - complete with wood and brick interior, finished floors, and beautiful lighting.

A naked cake matched the couple's simple, yet elegant decor with fresh, sliced fruit and a creamy frosting.

A live band set the mood for a fun, dancing-filled night under the stars for the newlyweds and their guests.

Pink and Gold Rustic Barn Wedding

We can't even begin to express the crazy, awesome talent over at Rising Lotus Photography. If you haven't already, be sure and check out the gallery on their website and get ready to be blown away. We are lucky enough today to feature one of their recent weddings which definitely did not disappoint. Alexis and Brad's outdoor rustic wedding combined a recipe for perfection. From the rustic barn setting and burlap decor to the gilded gold accents and pink flowers, nothing stole the show more than the spectacular canopy of dance floor lighting that will leave you breathless (well maybe the bride's Maggie Sottero gown...but we'll let you be the judge).

We are loving this escort card table and rustic log place card holders. The towering tree branch display creates drama while the hanging mason jars and real wood holders add just the right amount of rustic to the tables. Don't have someone handy to make these adorable log holders for you? Check out our pre-made alternative here: Rustic Wood Place Card Holders
