A Snowy Winter Wedding at Della Terra Mountain Chateau
We celebrated the beginning of 2024 with this incredibly beautiful, wintery wedding day at the elegant Della Terra Mountain Chateau in Estes Park, Colorado. Photographing Marina and Aaron’s wedding was extra special because Marina was a bridesmaid for Meghan and Chris’ wedding in Vail a couple years ago!
The day was incredibly cold (like maybe 5 degrees?!) but thankfully still sunny, and Marina and Aaron (and their families) were absolute rockstars for agreeing to go outside for their portraits! The couple shared a beautiful first look and then read personal vows to each other. I love the trend of reading personal vows after a First Look! It creates the opportunity for the couple to take their time sharing their hearts with each other without the pressure of the ceremony, and yet they still get to make formal vows later in front of their family and friends. It seems like a win win to me!
All the love for a classy color palette and lots of greenery
A couple highlights from M & A’s Della Terra wedding that I just love; first, I was delighted that Marina chose to use a classy combination of black, champagne, and greenery for her color palette. The feel was simple yet elegant which is always perfection when it comes to wedding decor. I also adore lots of greenery! It’s an inexpensive way to elevate your florals and Lace and Lilies knocked it out of the park with both the ceremony and reception decor.
Secondly, Marina and Aaron brought in Little Man Ice Cream during their reception so guests got to enjoy a choice of ice cream flavors in addition to cake. So fun!
Winter weddings have their own brand of beauty
Marina and Aaron’s day was gorgeous in every way. Despite it being ridiculously cold, Della Terra was the perfect backdrop for the dreamiest winter wedding I could have imagined. Marina carried a calm gracefulness throughout the whole day, and we enjoyed every minute celebrating the beginning of Marina and Aaron’s next journey together!
