Erika and Hugh celebrated their marriage with an intimate ceremony at Lake Irwin. They continued the party with dinner and live music at the Sopris House by Eleven Experience. Surrounded by their closest loved ones, their day was elegant & simple, with meaning and class to each detail.

The ceremony

The private ceremony space at the edge of Lake Irwin, a 40 minute drive from the heart of Crested Butte, provided peaceful mountain views and the perfect setting for Erika and Hugh to exchange vows. The florals for the space were simple and elegant, capturing the changing colors of early fall and complimenting the scenery.

The reception

Following their ceremony, Erika, Hugh and their guests returned to the town of Crested Butte to enjoy dinner, live music and dancing in the courtyard of the Sopris House. WE designed a floral table scape with fall inspired tones, gorgeous textures and several different arrangement sizes to create an undulating and dynamic piece. Each guest was greeted with flowers in front of their seat and was able to enjoy floral elements around the space including the ceremony pillars which framed the band.
