Elegant Summer Wedding at Blackstone Rivers Ranch

Cayla and Andrew welcomed friends and family to Blackstone Rivers Ranch in Idaho Springs, Colorado, for a weekend that felt like refined mountain living at its most effortless. Set against rushing water and towering pines, their celebration unfolded in crisp white, soft green, and dove-gray tones that echoed the season’s high-summer brightness while harmonizing with the landscape. From the beginning, the couple's vision of "upscale elegance meets mountain chic," with guest happiness as the primary focus, guided every detail, resulting in a celebration that felt both elegantly designed and deeply personal.

The ceremony took place beside the creek at Blackstone River Ranch, framed by garden-inspired arrangements of airy white blooms and abundant greenery. Loose, layered petals softened the venue’s rustic beams, lending an English garden lightness to the mountain setting. After Cayla and Andrew exchanged vows, guests were greeted with freshly shaken Palomas.

Dinner and dancing happened under a stunning sailcloth tent. Linen-draped farm tables continued the floral theme with low, organic arrangements, while dove-gray place cards and stoneware chargers added a subtle, tactile touch.

Andrew surprised the crowd by trading his classic tuxedo jacket for a deep-green velvet version that mirrored the evergreens surrounding the dance floor, signaling that the party had truly begun.

Top Shelf 5280 kept the dance floor packed long after dessert; to maintain the energy, servers appeared with miniature grilled cheese sandwiches as a late-night snack.

Thoughtful paper details, custom welcome gifts, and a seamless flow of events underscored Cayla and Andrew’s top priorities: warm hospitality, exceptional food, and music that invited everyone onto the dance floor.
