"It all turned out so lovely and was a day overflowing with love, gratitude, and holy joy."
Where did you draw inspiration & ideas from?
"We mostly drew inspiration from Pinterest. We got lucky & chose the very first vendors we met with - each of them were really able to capture our vision for the day & were great to work with."
Did you have a certain theme you wanted to incorporate for your big day?
"We both love Colorado & the outdoors, so we tried to incorporate some earthy feels into our reception venue while rocking the city scape. Merging the two together was a fun challenge, & I may be biased, but I think it turned out beautiful!"
What was one of your favorite moments from your wedding day?
"So many to choose from! Our first look was a such a moment of joy for us! We exploded with relief & happiness when we embraced in that moment. Sharing the sacrament of marriage was our absolute favorite part - our mass was full of people who have been very intentionally apart of our story throughout the years. The dance party at the reception was a blast - which was so important to us."
What advice would you give to other brides?
"Take moments throughout the day to step back, take in the scene, & be grateful. I can thankfully say I remember every part of our day - & I am so glad. Smile & enjoy! It is the start of the very best adventure."
Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Burns!

Wishing you joy and love every day in this start of the very best adventure.
