Colorado weddings · Vail & Beaver Creek
Vail and Beaver Creek weddings are destination weddings almost by definition — mountain-modern venues, guests flying in from everywhere, and a terrace ceremony where the view does most of the decorating. We make the engraved pieces that finish the picture — slate coasters, place cards, guest books, book-stack details — in our Loveland, Colorado studio, then pack them carefully and ship them to you, your planner, or the venue itself. Marrying on a mountain outside Colorado? Everything ships nationwide.
Ski-country specifics
A terrace ceremony above the valley is spectacular and exposed in equal measure. Afternoon gusts arrive on their own schedule, alpine sun is intense, and the temperature swings between the processional and the last dance. Engraving is built for exactly this: the mark is cut into the material, so there’s nothing to fade, peel, or wash off, and slate and wood carry enough weight to stay put on a windy table. Lighter pieces — acrylic place cards, small signage — get planned with anchoring in mind. Tell us the setting and we design for it.
The logistics are honest: our studio is in Loveland, Colorado, hours from the Vail Valley, so these orders ship — packed for the piece and sent to you, your planner, or the venue itself. Many mountain venues accept deliveries a day or two ahead, so the guest book isn’t competing with the dress for carry-on space, and the balance settles a week before delivery, keeping the wedding week clear. The aesthetic, meanwhile, is our home ground: an engraved leather guest book or miniature book table numbers belong in a room built of timber and stone.
Often, yes — many mountain venues accept deliveries a day or two ahead. Share the venue’s or planner’s receiving details on the quote and we’ll pack and ship to whichever makes sense. Our studio is in Loveland, Colorado, hours from the Vail Valley, so careful packing and shipping is the plan from the start — not pickup.
Slate and engraved wood are the confident choices: they have real weight, and the engraving is cut into the material, so alpine sun and weather can’t fade, peel, or wash it off. Black acrylic place cards work outdoors too — they’re just light, so exposed settings call for anchoring. Tell us where the ceremony sits and we’ll steer the materials.
Plan on at least three weeks of production from a locked design, plus shipping time to the mountains — a couple months of runway is the comfortable amount. Bespoke pieces include three design revisions before the design locks. Terms are simple: 50% deposit at signing, balance due one week before delivery.
Date, venue, guest count, and whether the ceremony is on the terrace or under a roof — plus who should receive the shipment: you, the planner, or the venue. We’ll reply with a quote, material advice for the setting, and an honest timeline.
We’re opening the site to invited beta testers and reviewers before the public launch later this June.
