Dueling May Weddings Edition
Emily’s museum wedding with clean whites and muted linens and Samantha’s wedding with contrasting dark and light colors and a common string of sparkle were both held on the same date in May 2017. Each wedding had its own look and feel, but both were beautiful in their own way. Compare key elements of each celebration below to see which style speaks to you and how your photographer might capture a day like yours.
Wedding Party Style
These two brides both chose a classic white gown with a sweetheart neckline, a timeless choice that Fort Collins wedding photographers love to capture from every angle. Emily (on the left) opted for lace details while Samantha (right) chose sparkle on top with a quieter tulle skirt. Emily’s bridesmaids wore soft mauve dresses, and Emily’s wore darker navy, each with pops of flowers in their bouquets to match. The groomsmen echoed this look with lighter versus darker ties and both grooms in white ties.
Ceremony & Reception Venues
Emily and Philip had their ceremony and reception in the same location, a clean modern museum. Samantha and Tony’s ceremony was at a grand church which provided an intricate beautiful background for their ceremony. They switched it up for their reception held at an urban venue where they added their own festive details!
Wedding Details & Decor

Wedding Cake
On to the yummies… we loved both of these three-tiered white cakes so much! 🙂 Emily added some color with both pink and white roses and Samantha added her sparkle with a glitter custom cake topper. How adorable are the fluffy elements around each cake as well! (Emily’s backdrop and Samantha’s table linen)
No matter how you slice it, both these weddings looked elegant and gorgeous. They added just the right amount of flare to give personality to their venues and their overall day. Congrats to these two on their one year wedding anniversary this month!
