Alice's Gift

We had a huge surprise for Erika at her wedding. She was gifted this stunning Todd Reed necklace made of yellow gold, raw diamond cubes and brilliant cut diamonds.

There is a beautiful story behind this. Kelly Karli of Frosted Pink Weddings donated her wedding planning services to The Wedding Pink 2012 and one of her clients read about it on her blog. The mother-of-the bride proceeded to make a private donation to The Wedding Pink in honor of Kelly's grandmother, Alice, who passed away from breast cancer many years ago. Alice was very dear to Kelly and her inspiration in founding her wedding planning company.

Kelly joined us at this year's wedding and presented the necklace to Erika. Our hope is that Erika wears this necklace in good health remembering this special day and all of the family and friends that surrounded her and Mike with love.

Additionally, a very sincere thank you to Todd Redd Jewelry for making this possible.

 

 

Vendor Party and Frosted Pink Weddings

Lauren, Joseph, Roxanne, Kelly and Taylor

As some of you know we had a little vendor get-together party a couple weeks ago at the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek. Over the next couple months I am going to post photos from the party and highlight some of the vendors who are donating their product and services to The Wedding Pink.

I think it is appropriate to start with Frosted Pink Weddings who has been instrumental in coordinating the 2012 wedding. Pictured above is Kelly Karli, the owner of Frosted Pink Weddings with her team, Lauren and Taylor.

Frosted Pink Weddings is a full-service wedding planning business located in the Vail Valley. Kelly has been a loyal supporter of breast cancer causes and her grandmother Alice, who unfortunately passed away from breast cancer, is her source of inspiration.

Kelly and her team have planned beautiful weddings for many couples in Vail and Beaver Creek. At Frosted Pink Weddings their services are more than impeccable, they're iconic. Whether you're looking to capture classic elegance or show stopping simplicity, they promise to help you create a wedding that makes the most unique and unforgettable statement.

Announcing Vendors for The Wedding Pink - 2012

We have been working around the clock putting together this amazing team of vendors for The Wedding Pink and I cannot wait to share all of the details with you. I think that you will agree, everyone's generosity is a bit overwhelming.

Without further delay, this is what is on tap for The Wedding Pink. SaddleRidge in Beaver Creek has graciously offered to host the ceremony and reception with delectable menu options for dinner. The evening before the big day, the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek will host a welcome cocktail reception, with an option to add a rehearsal dinner, and additionally will provide a beautiful suite for the wedding couple for 3 nights. The entire wedding will be coordinated by the fabulous wedding planner, Kelly Karli of Frosted Pink Weddings.

We have everything covered from videography to the wedding dress and the complete list of contributing vendors can be viewed here.

We are not done yet, one more piece of exciting news! We have raised enough funds to cover the small costs of the wedding that we were not able to get donated. The wedding will be virtually cost free to the couple, with a couple of exceptions, please see the bottom of this page.

Please don't forget, our submission period for this wedding closes on Monday, August 15, 2011. We look forward to reading your heartfelt stories.
