Say “I do” on the slopes that have made the Rockies Mountains so famous! Sweet Occasions Bridal Consulting is proud and very excited to bring you Powder Brides, for a couple passionate about skiing or snowboarding is there any other way to go?

From start to finish your wedding day with be full of fun and adventure for you and your guests. With a morning ceremony, with the sun low over the mountains you can experience breathtaking majestic views as you say “I do”. Having your ceremony in the morning and not later in the day gives you time to relax and get ready for the evening ahead.

A videographer and a photographer will capture your ceremony for you, as well as, the guests that could not make the ski hill ceremony, if they are the adventurous type they can sneak in a couple of runs with you, getting amazing photos and video. When you leave the ski hill you will be leaving in style in your stretch hummer to the hotel where you will both start getting ready for your winter wonderland/Christmas reception.

Upon arriving at your hotel prepare to be pampered by knowledgeable and experienced staff. Get warmed up and rejuvenated from your morning on the slopes, with a hot stone message and soak in the hot tub, then it’s off to the salon to get your hair and make up done with your bridal party.
Imagine the transformation your guests will see, from you and your new husband being married in snow gear to a beautiful bride and groom in all their wedding attire! For an amazing arrival to your reception venue (even if your reception is being held at your hotel) hire a horse drawn carriage, for an added thrill take a little tour through town, and have your wedding party meet you at the doors for the grand entrance.

At this time of year, your reception is something you can get really creative with and of course your Sweet Occasions Bridal Consultant will be more than willing to help plan and execute your vision! A Christmas themed reception doesn’t have to be green and red, there are so many ways to give your guests a Christmas wedding experience they will not soon forget, without making it overwhelming. For instance think in light blue, silver and sparkling white for your decorating pallet. Don’t be afraid for using ornaments that made the holidays magical for you and your new husband, it can only serve to enhance the magical feeling a wedding brings. Sparkling décor is a wonderful way to reflect the snowy slopes you said your “I do’s” on, stepping through the doors of your reception venue into a sparkling room couldn’t be more amazing! Your tables set with white table cloths with shimmering light blue overlays, each napkin with a sprig of mistletoe placed on it, tea lights in frosted votives on the tables enhance the romantic atmosphere and give the room a warm glow. Your centerpieces can be alternating between tall vases filled with cracked ice and holly topped with beautiful winter flowers with strands of crystals dripping down like icicles, to reflect the candle light. The alternate centerpieces are beautiful wire trees in silver, with sparkling ornaments and crystals hanging from the branches. When your guest look up you want to give them the sensation of being snowed upon, using large silver bulbs and snowflakes of varying size you can achieve this easily, as well as add white swag to the ceiling and walls, this giving the fresh powder illusion!

As you settle in at your reception have the MC announce that you will be playing a video of the ceremony for the guest that were unable to attend and during the video you will be passing around a special Christmas keepsake for “warming”. (This is a different take on the “ring warming” ceremony, where the rings are passed from guest to guest to be given blessing or good wishes.) This is a very lovely way to include everyone and you will have a beautiful keepsake to put up every year to keep the memory of your wedding day alive and can be shared with future generations. Imagine, telling the story of that keepsake to your grandchildren, what more could one ask for?

All of this is possible, for your wedding day; at Sweet Occasions we have the talent, experience and a passion for creating your dream wedding. With the launch of our rental division, we now have everything from candle votives to candelabras and ceremony arches to make you wedding beautiful and memorable.
