Real Wedding: Hailey + Zane’s Intimate Estes Park Wedding
Hailey and Zane’s spring destination wedding was the perfect blend of nature’s beauty and heartfelt celebration. The couple chose the picturesque Estes Park, Colorado, as the setting for their micro-wedding, surrounded by the beauty of towering mountains and a select group of their closest family and friends.
Their ceremony took place at Lily Lake, a serene spot tucked within the stunning Rocky Mountain National Park. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect—clear skies and a crisp spring day that reflected the joy and excitement that filled the air. The lake served as a breathtaking backdrop to their vows, its calm waters shimmering as the couple promised forever to one another. It was an intimate affair, with only their nearest and dearest by their side, which made it all the more meaningful.
After the ceremony, the celebration moved to the charming Sunshine Mountain Lodge in Lyons, where the intimate reception took place outdoors under a large open sky. The mountain breeze was a little chilly, but that didn’t stop the guests from embracing the magical setting.
A long table, adorned with taper candles and bright, vibrant florals, created a warm and welcoming atmosphere for everyone. The lively colors contrasted beautifully against the natural greens and browns of the surrounding mountain landscape. The intimate setting allowed for heartfelt conversations and laughter that echoed through the air.The evening continued with heartfelt toasts, where loved ones shared their well wishes and fond memories of Hailey and Zane. It was clear how much they meant to everyone present.
The newlyweds then shared their first dance as a married couple, surrounded by their closest friends and family. The love in the air was palpable as the music played, and the couple danced under the stars. But the night wasn’t complete without a unique twist on tradition—a cookie cake! Hailey and Zane cut their personalized, delicious treat, adding a fun and whimsical element to the evening’s festivities.
As the night wore on, guests danced under the twinkling lights, celebrating the couple’s union and creating new memories together. And just when you thought the evening couldn’t get any sweeter, the couple surprised everyone with a cozy s’mores station around the firepit.
Congratulations, Hailey and Zane, on your beautiful destination wedding. May your love continue to shine as bright as the Colorado sky on your special day!
