Heather's Wedding Weekend

This past weekend/week Matt and I spent some time enjoying Colorado! Our trip started off with celebrating the marriage of Heather and Joe! As Maid of Honor I was particularly excited to kick off the festivities and spend time with Heather as she prepared for one of the biggest days of her life! The weekend could not have been more perfect. Fun time with friends, beautiful wedding, great weather and a new Mr. and Mrs. 

Heather was a perfect bride...organized, calm, relaxed, thoughtful of her bridesmaids and just happy to see everyone! (What I would like to say of myself as a bride :). 

THURSDAY
Thursday night Heather and Joe hosted a BBQ at their home for friends and family that had already arrived! I wore one of my blue dresses to keep with the wedding theme!
FRIDAY
Treating her bridesmaids to mani/pedis! To the left is her childhood friend Meghan and to my right is her step-sister Laura. Such lovely ladies. Mary had to work Friday so she wasn't able to come in until that evening.

One of the amazing views from the ranch where they got married. Heather and Joe were so sweet and reserved a cabin for Matt and I at the ranch where only immediate family got to stay. Since we are practically sisters...it only made sense :)
 Heather's brother Andy was the officiant for their wedding and he did a great job.

Bride and MOH - what a team we are!

Matt flew in and drove straight to the ranch, making it in time for the end of the rehearsal. He looked SOOO handsome!

One of the many reasons I love Meghan - she too color coded her rehearsal dress (blue and yellow were the colors)


Talk about baby fever - I could NOT get enough of this little nuggat!

While I was with the bridesmaids getting ready - Matt and his new friend Brian spent the morning hiking and exploring the area.

Heather and Joe did a "first look" where they see each other for the first time privately and can take their pictures before the wedding and then go straight to the reception. What was so special is that Heather had me be there (to help with her dress, etc). It was awesome to be a part of that special moment.

Heather made all of the decorations and special momentos for their wedding. I loved absolutely everything!







My favorite part of the day :) Dancing with this little one and having her fall fast asleep on my shoulder in the middle of a song!
