Real Wedding: Johanna + Marshall’s Highlands Ranch Mansion Wedding
Johanna and Marshall’s July wedding at Highlands Ranch Mansion was the kind of day that feels straight out of a dream—timeless, elegant, and filled with personal touches that brought their love story to life.
From the moment guests stepped on property, it was clear that every detail had been intentionally chosen to reflect Johanna and Marshall’s style.
The bridesmaids wore mismatched dresses in a palette of soft, summery hues—each look as vibrant and unique as the friend that was wearing them. One of my favorite details? Each bouquet was thoughtfully designed to match the color of the bridesmaid's dress, adding a seamless and stylish touch that tied the whole aesthetic together beautifully.
The couple exchanged vows during a classic outdoor ceremony on the mansion’s lawn, with the mansion in the backdrop and surrounded by the warmth of July sunshine. The setting was both grand and intimate—timeless architecture meeting natural Colorado beauty. There wasn’t a dry eye as Johanna and Marshall said "I do" in front of their closest family and friends.
Inside, the reception space was nothing short of magical. Hanging greenery installations and elegant chandeliers created a romantic, garden-inspired ambiance. The color palette carried through with lush florals and soft taper candles lining the tables—blending elegance with just the right touch of summer whimsy. The result was a space that felt inviting, elevated, and truly unforgettable.
The evening was filled with meaningful toasts and heartfelt speeches from family that spoke volumes about the couple’s character, love story, and the beautiful life they’re building together. As the sun began to set, Johanna and Marshall stepped outside for a few quiet moments—and the resulting sunset portraits were absolutely breathtaking. Golden light, joyful smiles, and a couple completely in love.
The celebration wrapped up just the way it should—with a packed dance floor and a live band that kept the energy going all night long. Johanna and Marshall shared their first dance surrounded by twinkling candlelight and the people who love them most. The rest of the evening was a joyful blur of music, laughter, and celebration.
It was an honor to help bring Johanna and Marshall’s vision to life. Their wedding was a perfect reflection of them: sophisticated, joyful, and full of love.
