When receiving the call from Carolynn about her destination wedding in Cuchara, Colorado I was intrigued. This sleepy mountain town has strong familial ties, and is perfect location nestled around the Spanish Peaks complete with a dirt road down town. The bride assembled beautiful dried flower arrangements, boutonnieres and bouquets. They had their ceremony at […]
