Happy Derby! Tomorrow is the 138th Annual Running of the Kentucky Derby!

Today, the secret we’ve been keeping at Mile High Bride is finally revealed! Here are the images I’ve been so excited to share with you! It is the Kentucky Derby Styled Session that I styled & planned with a group of amazing folks, who helped me pull it all together with their fabulous talents! I want to send a big thank you to all of them and their hard work! The images are stunning (thanks to Laura Murray) and I had the toughest time deciding on which images to pick for this feature – I wanted to use them all! The lovely & gorgeous Brytny Marquez did an amazing job modeling as well! Please enjoy this styled session! Also, please make sure to take a look at the full list of incredible talent after the images!

 

A big thank you to all these amazing vendors listed below!

Sneak peek from Michelle Lemley Photography’s recent photo shoot featuring one of our Tara Keely by Lazaro bridal gowns!  Shot at a private cabin in Frisco, Colorado – our gown took a road trip out of Denver for the day, but from the looks of it she had a great time!  Thanks Michelle!

TOP TEN 2011

December 31, 2011 at 9:41 pm | the dish | No comment

With 2011 coming to a close, we thought it would be fun to revisit some of our favorite events from the past year.  Here is just a small list of some of the moments we wanted to remember:

When we decided to do our first annual gown giveaway last January, we knew it was going to be fun, but we had no idea how much fun it would be!  Our winner Jodi, still stops by the shop on occasion just to say hi and thank us for giving her the opportunity to win her dress!  We think we had just as much fun, if not more, calling Jodi to let her know the good news!  Here’s a pic of the gorgeous Mrs. Jodi on her wedding day!


How could we forget our simply todiefor photo shoot with Steve Stanton Photography.  We are still trying to get over the breathtaking elegance captured on this shoot, showcasing some of our absolute fave Tara Keely gowns!  This one may just be our favorite photo shoot of all time.

Here is Emily, our bride who came in to be a model-for-a-day!  After she ordered her dress, we called her up and invited her to leave her day job and join us for a photo shoot showcasing some of our newest gowns for 2011! We had a blast working with Laura Murray Photography, and our gorgeous La Sposa gowns!  Emily ordered a La Sposa gown, but we can’t tell you which one!  You will be able to see her actual wedding photos soon, but you can bet she will be just as gorgeous in her own gown.  Thanks Emily!!


The fave photo of a Tara Keely gown, taken by Kelli Hunt Photography at Estes Park.  This photo really showcases the gorgeous backdrop that Colorado brides are so lucky to have!  Not to mention, we still can’t get over how cute that little umbrella is!

We were so honored to be included in the first issue of Aspen Bride Magazine!  Here is just a peek, but you can read the rest of the article in the “buzz” section of our website.  Photo by adam & imthiaz photography.

A stunning fall-inspired weekend photo shoot, with the talented duo adam & imthiaz photography!

Meeting our favorite new designer for 2012 was definitely a moment to remember.  Here is a picture from bridal fashion week when we met Miss Hayley Paige for the first time during the unveiling of her collection!  We are so proud to be the exclusive retailer for Hayley Paige in Colorado.  We had so much fun when she joined us in Denver for our first Hayley Paige trunk show, and we can’t wait until she can come back again for future shows!  We love you Hayley!!!

Best photo shoot by an intern!  This styled photo shoot was organized from top to bottom by our lovely intern Alex, and boy were we sad to see her go…come back Alex!  Alex is back in Oklahoma now working as a buyer, but luckily we still have these photo shoot memories!

What a fun, whimsical photo from adam & imthiaz photography!  We love how they always seem to capture those unexpected shots, and yet still showcase the gown and the bride perfectly!

Check out our recent feature on the amazing bridal blog Style Me Pretty:

Get ready to be blown away by some serious beauty of the inspiration shoot variety thanks to Laura Murray Photography and all the little ideas tucked away in each and every one of her lovely images. I have a feeling you’ll be giving youPinterest account quite a workout this afternoon after pouring over all this regal-inspired pretty. I suppose that is to be expected with Pink Posey Design at the helm of the design and the Villa Parker serving as the backdrop. And that dress from Blue Bridal Boutique? To die for. It’s all so pin-worthy and thank goodness there is even more in the full gallery.

PHOTO FAVES!

We are going to be celebrating our second anniversary in the next few months, so we thought it would be fun to revisit some of our favorite photo shoots from the last couple of years.  We have had the chance to work with so many talented people, it doesn’t seem fair to only show the pictures once!  Ahh, memories. Here are just a few of our faves:
