Planning Ansley + Caleb’s Aspen wedding was a true dream! With both A+C finishing dental school, we had the pleasure of collaborating with Ansley’s mom, Whitney. We kicked off their wedding weekend in Aspen with a western welcome party at the brand new Stranahan’s Aspen. Guests were encouraged to come dressed in their best western attire, and of course, a few cowboy hats from Kemosabe were in the mix! The wedding day was a picture-perfect bluebird Aspen day at T-Lazy-7, with the stunning Maroon Peak as the backdrop for their vows. From the very beginning, Ansley and Whitney had a clear vision for their color palette and design direction, making the wedding planning process so intentional and meticulous, yet smooth!
The theme was highlighted through decor in green, white, and pops of pink, featuring whimsical, hand-drawn stationery, green lattice accents, and vibrant garden florals.
Special touches such as custom-wrapped drum shades hung over the dance floor and bar, with fabric thoughtfully sourced by the mother of the bride. The envelope liner design was also incorporated into the escort card board and bar applications, tying the whole look together.
In the final weeks, Ansley’s mom, Whitney, added a thoughtful array of personal touches: pink trays for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, hand-painted picture frames for the bar menus, swizzle sticks, custom-designed matches and cocktail napkins, and even a signature cocktail, the Yellow Hammer, a nod to their southern roots. These little surprises truly made the day unforgettable!
Thank you to our entire vendor team who worked tirelessly to make their vision come to life!
