Stone Mountain Lodge Bridal Festival - Lyons, CO

Sunday I had the honor of showing at the Stone Mountain Lodge Bridal Festival in beautiful Lyons, CO. After a very busy wedding season it was nice to get back into the festival circuit and meet new brides who are just beginning to plan their weddings. I spoke with quite a few couples about their wedding plans and really just had a blast talking about what I love best - WEDDINGS! In addition to getting the word out about Ardent Photography I also had the pleasure of meeting some new colleagues within the industry. I wanted to take some time to share their information with you all in case you are looking for the services they offer. To any of you reading this from the festival it was a pleasure meeting you and good luck with your wedding plans.

Ahhh Mobile Spa - Amber from Ahhh Mobile Spa has a great idea going here. They are a full service spa that is (like the name suggests) MOBILE. They come to you to do hair, nails, makeup basically the works! What a great idea! I will definitely be passing her info along often.

Shamane's Bake Shoppe - Based out of Boulder, CO Shamane's wedding cakes are to die for. I sampled a Citron Raspberry Cake and was in heaven. Which is saying a lot coming from me because I eat a LOT of wedding cake (occupational perk!). She creates custom cakes that are so creative and lovely. I was speaking with her briefly about a certain cake she created for an outdoorsy couple that was a mountain complete with a hiking trail! If your ever in the Boulder ares stop by for a free tasting!

Stone Mountain Lodge - Set among the beautiful scenery in majestic Lyons, CO the Stone Mountain Lodge is the perfect place to give your wedding that mountain feel without being overly commercialized like some venues. They do have cozy cabins on site and can accommodate around 170 people under their gorgeous big top tent. The staff there is very friendly and the grounds are beautiful. Definitely a must see when looking for a venue.

I am husbandless for the next two days. Rick flew to WI for business this morning for business. He won't be returning till Wednesday evening and boy am I blue. Good thing I have lots of processing to keep me busy!
