Okay, Denver brides. I may be based in Colorado Springs, but let me tell you—Denver weddings are some of the most stunning events you’ll see. And the most versatile! Some of my favorite venues and vendors are just an hour drive from my front door in Colorado Springs. And, as the largest city in the state, you’ve got a sizable piece of the wedding industry to work with. From sporty to elegant, traditional, funky, or as rustic as the scenic mountains that cover the skyline, you’re sure to find exactly what you’re looking for. So whether you’re native to the rocky mountains or you’re planning a gorgeous destination wedding, let’s take a look at some of my favorite “mile-high” details, curated just for all my Denver brides. 

Denver Wedding Locations

When you picture your dream wedding, what do you see? If you’re looking for something more industrial, Moss Denver, Ironworks Denver, Mile High Station, and Skylight all offer unique spaces with exposed brick, high ceilings, and a stylish, modern feel. Looking for more of a historic feel? Union Station, Grant-Humphreys Mansion, and the Oxford Hotel provide elegant settings with classic architecture and timeless charm. If florals are your focus, the Denver Botanic Gardens and Denver Botanic Gardens Chatfield Farms offer serene and picturesque settings surrounded by nature, with plenty of colorful blooms. 

Want something totally unique? Try the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, Space Gallery, or the Ramble Hotel. These places provide unique and memorable backdrops perfect for Denver brides looking for something a little less traditional. Or, if you want to stay true to the Rocky Mountain State, Brittany Hill by Wedgewood Weddings and The Pines by Wedgewood Weddings offer second-to-none views of the Denver skyline and the Rocky Mountains. 

Denver Wedding Vendors

With your location in place, it’s time to start building the vibe. And Denver has something for everyone! Catered receptions can be both personal and elegant with companies like Silver Spoons, Serendipity, or Catering by Design. Or go for the fun factor with food trucks like Farm to Truck, True Love Tacos, Mountain Crust, or The Brutal Poodle. And for dessert? Love Pop, Little Man Ice Cream, and The Treatery all bring their own unique flavor and style to your wedding. 

Denver brides can build their dream days around beautiful details, like gorgeous linens from Event Rents, The Wildflower Denver, or BBJ La Tavola, whose showrooms feature a variety of colors and textures to maximize visual impact. Plum Sage Flowers, Beet & Yarrow Florist or The Perfect Petal can bring even more color to your tables and bouquets, and businesses like A Touch of Bliss, First Look Events or Brindle + Oak can help you plan and pull it all together. 

Denver Wedding Activities

Why stop at a wedding day when Denver can host a perfect wedding weekend? Or week! Plan activities for your guests like visiting the Denver Botanic Gardens, Denver Art Museum, and Red Rocks Amphitheatre, or catch a Rockies, Nuggets, Broncos, or Avalanche game. Head to the nearby Keystone, Breckenridge or Winter Park resorts to hit the slopes after your nuptials. Or shop and dine your way through the weekend at the 16th Street Mall, Denver Pavilions or Free Market. 

BONUS: Tips and Tricks for Denver Brides

Tip 1: Consider the season. Denver can experience the seasons to their fullest, so choose a wedding date that aligns with your preference for locations and activities. 

Tip 2: Book your venue and vendors well in advance. Denver is a big city with a big wedding industry. It’s why we love a Denver wedding! But that also means people and places are in demand, and you’ll want to get your big day on their calendars while it’s still available. I’m currently booking 2026 weddings, and I’d love to unpack your vision! Click here to start the conversation. I’d love to capture your event with images that make your heart swell.

Tip 3: Make a detailed budget, and prioritize what matters most. With so much to choose from in Denver, it’s easy to want it all! As a couple, sit down and decide what’s important to you on your big day. If venue and photography outweigh floral arrangements and food, then adjust your plans accordingly. 

Tip 4: Enjoy the process! Planning a wedding can feel like a lot, but it’s also the first step in your journey to a long and happy marriage. Try to savor the experience! 

Wedding bouquets can be a tricky detail—especially when your vision and the calendar don’t align! But don’t worry. When it comes to creating your perfect wedding florals, there’s always a way! If you’re wondering where to start, look no farther. Here’s my advice for incorporating the perfect blooms for your big day! 

First Things First

First you need to decide where flowers fall on your list of priorities. If you want your wedding bouquets, boutonnieres, and centerpieces to be stunning staples, you’ll need to make sure your budget is allocated appropriately. Likewise, if you’re not planning on floral statements, you’ll need to make sure your budget reflects that, too! From there, you can start the process of researching vendors, scheduling consultations, and building out your ideas and preferences. 

Dare to Dream

I always say to start with your venue, wedding date, and location. If you’re planning an outdoor ceremony or reception, your venue may already have gardens you’ll be working around. Some flowers bloom in colors better suited for certain times of the year, and some only bloom at certain times in certain parts of the world! Make sure you have your details and color palette handy when you go in for your consultations. This will definitely help the process go smoothly! Remember to choose flowers, not just colors, use visuals (like pinterest or saved photos), and be flexible. Even vendors with greenhouses are at the mercy of healthy roots and supply!
