We Blended Mountains with Modern in This Vail, Colorado Wedding

Nestled in the heart of Vail, Colorado, our team brought to life a breathtaking summer wedding that combined modern elegance with a stunning mountain backdrop. The romantic wedding included innovative design elements and unique personal touches that left a lasting impact on the newlyweds and guests.

Romantic Mountain Ceremony

The ceremony took place at the Four Seasons Vail, where the pool deck was transformed into a stunning backdrop for the couple’s vows. A custom 70-foot white aisle stretched across the water, creating a remarkable entrance for the bride. The contemporary backdrop was installed over five hours and featured the couple’s custom monogram, softened by carefully placed greenery and florals that complemented the surrounding mountains.

Modern Luxurious Details

Lucite acrylic chairs allowed the landscape and decor to shine, while a sophisticated string trio provided a romantic soundtrack to the couple’s nuptials. Guests were guided by a second line led by a brass horn section to the reception where a seated dinner awaited. The ballroom was completely reimagined, with sleek custom white panels artfully concealing the original blue walls, crafting a seamless and cohesive aesthetic. The transformation was elevated with a bespoke stage, dance floor, and backdrop, setting the scene for an unforgettable night of dancing and celebration. The tables were the perfect example of modern luxury, featuring marble chargers, elegant stemware, and black tubular vases filled with leggy and fun floral arrangements.

The menus were blind embossed, adding a subtle visual and tactile experience. Throughout dinner, Professor D’s orchestra band provided entertainment. Attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the decor, from the minimalist contemporary place settings to the custom marble fluted bar. The wedding festivities took an exciting turn as cold sparks opened the dance floor. 

Sexy and Sleek After Party

The after-party space was a sleek, sexy environment featuring tufted black velvet furniture and high-energy entertainment from Las Vegas-based entertainer DJ Optic. The after party’s custom dance floor set the tone with a favorite phrase, “Let’s Dance the Night Away” to kick-off the dance floor and dance the night away they did! In a nod to the couple’s love for Waffle House, late-night bites were served in custom branded packaging and included Waffle House menu items of breakfast biscuit sandwiches, chocolate milk, bacon strips, and fries.

Personalized cocktails crafted by Cocktail Academy paid a playful tribute to the couple’s beloved dogs, with each drink creatively named in their honor. Breakfast-inspired cocktails, like maple syrup-infused drinks with mini Stoop waffles and espresso martinis, were served with a stylish touch—each topped with the wedding monogram. Guests also enjoyed a one-of-a-kind photo booth experience by Banga Studios, where they took home framed, editorial-style portraits as timeless keepsakes.

The evening was a sophisticated blend of textures and luxurious materials, all while maintaining a sleek, modern, and minimalist vibe. Drawing inspiration from high-end fashion, the event featured a rich mix of textures and a chic color palette of black, tan, and cream.
