a berry-hued valentine's shoot

Though spring has not yet bloomed, Long Ago Love Events was lucky enough to heat things up with some truly fabulous Colorado wedding vendors for a Valentine's Day inspired styled shoot at Denver's new Carmen W. Gallery. In a fun twist, we had the chance to be in front of the camera instead of behind the scenes!

Claire of Claire Gordon Events executed a vision that perfectly blended the contemporary gallery space with romantic, feminine elements--a fresh take on traditional Valentine's! The day was brimming with gorgeous berry-hued florals and lovely vintage details provided by Gretchen of Yonder House Floral + Decor. Her creativity and eye for design is so inspiring! Every detail and magical moment was beautifully captured by Ali of Ali & Garrett Wedding Photography (her soft, romantic images will make you swoon!).

Delightful finishing touches rounded out the shoot- beautiful cakes and sweets were provided by The Makery Cake Co., elegant paper goods were crafted by Lana's Shop, and unique vintage jewelry pieces (including a six-carat canary diamond ring!) were lent by Victoriana Antique Jewelry and Susie Bernardi, a Diamond & Fine Jewelry Broker.

The opportunity to play dress up in the gorgeous gowns from Emma & Grace Bridal Studio was truly the fairy tale experience every girl dreams of for her wedding--luscious layers of tulle and lovely bead-work abound!  KimJ Beauty created the incredibly romantic side-chignon updo and tied the makeup in with the berry-hued color palate.

This collaboration was a wonder to behold--these sweet and talented ladies made it all such a fantastic experience!  If you are looking for wedding professionals that might be a good fit for your special day, I highly recommend checking out these fantastic vendors!
