![]() Ryan‘s father passed away tragically in 2013 and one of my bridesmaids, Danielle, had passed away from cancer only 8 days before our wedding. While it’s so hard to narrow down the most memorable part of such an amazing day, there was one moment during our ceremony that really moved everyone. (Plus the food was great!) We also loved that our family and friends were all able to stay nearby either on the ranch or next door at the Wild Horse Inn B&B next door. It is also right outside Winter Park, which is where we both learned to ski as kids! We loved that the food and beverage were all provided onsite because it was easier not to have to bring in additional vendors. We liked the idea that it held over 200 guests, the ceremony site overlooked the beautiful Rocky Mountains, and that it was fairly remote. We had heard of Devil’s Thumb Ranch before and Ryan had been to a wedding there. ![]() Plus, we loved the idea of a ranch where everyone stayed close together. We didn’t want to have to limit who we invited based on space - the more the merrier! Because I am from Texas and had a lot of friends coming up, we wanted it to feel like a destination wedding weekend. Ryan and I are both big outdoorsy Colorado people so the mountains have always been our happy place, and we wanted a venue that would hold a lot of people! Ryan comes from a huge Irish family and we are fortunate enough to have a lot of close friends. It really made my day, and I loved the thoughtfulness of it. ![]() He told me to put the stickers on the bottom of my shoes for good luck but also explained how this was an old family tradition for them. Ryan surprised me with the sweetest love letter along with shamrock stickers. Every detail of this wedding was thoughtfully curated by Calluna Events, and Jill Houser Photography captured it all so perfectly! We love that Kristin went for a classic Theia Couture gown and Art Deco-inspired accessories, while Ryan opted for dapper midnight blue Hugo Boss suit. Plum Sage Flowers created lush greenery installations above the head table and matching chair adornments for the bride and groom’s chairs to make the head table the focal point of the entire space. ![]() Then, for the reception, they used a combination of long farm tables, gold tableware, and stunning florals to elevate the rustic feel of the barn. They set up the ceremony outside, which showed off the epic Colorado mountain landscape. Kristin and Ryan’s wedding at Devil’s Thumb Ranch might have been set in a rustic venue, but their timeless and elegant style took center stage to create an unforgettable celebration of love! The oh-so-talented planners at Calluna Events helped bring this couple’s dream wedding to life. ![]()
