Situated amongst the aspen trees, mountain stream and wild grasses at 8,100 feet, the Red Pine Lodge often lends itself to a rustic elegant style when it comes to choosing decor. We have seen almost every color of the rainbow work in the lodge, but often couples will elect to use more mountain style elements like branches, river rocks and grasses. So, when we saw Shannon and Matt’s totally romantic and more feminine approach to decorating the lodge, we definitely took notice. Unanimously, we all decided that the juxtaposition of the pastel colors, soft flowers and unique ornate touches against the natural woods of Red Pine was a total success. The bride and groom were also very clever in tying in the mountain theme too by naming the tables after favorite ski runs and using some rustic curly willow.

Most Unique Moment (according to the Bride): The music list playing at dinner was composed of the guests’ wedding songs. So, many couples either kissed or stood up and danced when they heard the song they first danced to the day of their own wedding come on. I think it reminded them what a wedding celebration is really all about. And, there was a real moose that made an appearance during dancing too!
