Lauren and Lucas Bell

When Lauren contacted us to help with wedding planning for her October 21st wedding at Camp Lucy, we hit it off immediately! Lauren and Lucas are the epitome of high school sweethearts. Growing up together in San Angelo, Texas, they had been friends for life. Little did they know, they were also soulmates!

Seeing the love that Lauren and Lucas have for each other was just a preview of the love that I witnessed on their wedding day! Over 250 people attended their wedding on the most beautiful Sunday in October. The weather was unbelievably perfect and guests came from near and far to celebrate the love of such an amazing couple and family!

Working with our vendor dream team was just icing on top of the cake! Drinks were flowing as guests lined up to take pictures with the beer burrows {you can’t have a wedding in Texas without Donkey’s that serve beer to your guests} and the dance floor was packed the whole time with live music from Matchmaker Band!

The day was simply magical. Check out the pictures to see for yourself! {warning, you’ll be jealous you weren’t there!!}

Greece has my name written all over it!  I’m not sure I’d want to come home if I honeymooned here.  Enjoy the culture, colors, beaches, food, and so much more!

Gwen + Jesse’s Elegant Mountain Wedding

Gwen and Jesse were married on a beautiful, yet chilly May day in Vail, Colorado at Donovan Pavilion!  Guests flew in from all over the states to watch these two love birds say their I Do’s.  We continued the party with a fabulous dinner by Ocassions Catering and danced the night away with Trading Post Duo!

Enjoy these fabulous pictures and video from Lisa O’Dwyer Photo and Canvas and Light!

Maddy + Lucas’ Vail Wedding

When I first met with Maddy + Lucas at a cute little coffee shop on Pearl St, I knew we were going to hit it off!

Maddy + Lucas are the definition of love and their wedding was proof!  A group of fantastic vendors came together to put on a party of a lifetime for the happy couple and their family and friends! The rain cleared just in time for a beautiful (but cold) outdoor ceremony, but everyone was all smiles and (happy) tears.

Did I mention that the couples pups played as the ring bearer and flower girl? The proof is in the pictures!

Sharp Dressed Grooms

Let’s get real, when we talk about  weddings, we typically talk about the brides, bridesmaids, flowers, cake, etc.  Sadly, the poor grooms don’t make it to the top of the priority list when planning a wedding!  In all reality, the grooms should be right up there with the brides, starting with the question- “What are you going to wear?”

Here at Platinum Weddings and Events, we want to make sure all our grooms are looking sharp and handsome on what will be one of the most memorable days of their lives and the groomsmen to look just as good as they stand by their best guy and celebrate on his wedding day!
