We were sent this feature on LIFE magazine online, reviewing how people were married in the past. Here are a few of our favorite pictures from the article:

In 1958, a student tries on a gown for her wedding – doesn’t this look like Kleinfeld’s?

Dancers sprinkle petals on the aisle before a wedding, 1951. And we thought the couple boogeying down the aisle with their wedding party was original!

A bride in 1961. Heaven!

This past August, Brooke and Pat tied the knot with a funky, fresh style – they wanted bright, vibrant colors, and a pop-art, Andy Warhol theme. Since they are both native Coloradans, choosing the City Park bandstand was a romantic, urban choice for this couple. They floated through a sea of bubbles down their custom red runner.

The masters at Denver Design Works and custom linens from A Boulder Affair transformed the Marco Polo ballroom at The Curtis Hotel to create a pink and orange party space. They also changed the patio area into a Miami-esque blue lounge for guests – an urban oasis.

The bride and groom were serenaded by recording artist Jessica Sonner for their first dance.

And later in the reception, guests were treated to abstract performance artists by Borillo Entertainment.

The staff at the Curtis hotel created a menu that was perfect to theme – bubble gum martinis, milk shake shooters with an oreo garnish, and tiny Campbell’s tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwiches. Divine!

These amazing images were provided by Kim Nodurft, what a photographer!!

From inspiration to wedding day, we were so excited to help put this amazing wedding into reality!

We wish Patrick and Brooke all of the love and happiness that we saw on their wedding day for years to come!

We came upon this vintage-esque boutique via Snippet & Ink, and we squealed with glee! Many of our brides love a vintage flair, who would love to tie the knot in this dress made for twirling? At only $490, it’s a steal!

I would love a getaway in an old cruiser in this dress!

Married in Paris in the spring, tres jolie!
