Brooke and Steve's Epic Telluride Wedding: A Celebration to Remember
🏔️ A Dreamy Telluride Wedding with Mountains, a Pup, and a Pool Party to Remember
Some weddings just hit different — and this one in Telluride, Colorado was unforgettable in every way. From the breathtaking ceremony views to the sweetest four-legged guest, this mountain wedding was filled with love, laughter, and the kind of joyful energy you wish you could bottle up forever.
If you’ve ever dreamed of saying “I do” surrounded by alpine peaks and celebrating under the stars, let this Telluride wedding be your inspiration. ✨
🐾 A Pup with a Front-Row Seat
Let’s talk about one of the VIPs of the day: the couple’s golden retriever, Maple, who proudly walked down the aisle and stole everyone's heart. With a flower collar and tail wags for days, she was the perfect mix of elegance and adorable — not to mention the ultimate wedding crasher for photos. Including your dog in your wedding day is always a win, and this couple made it feel effortless and special.
🏔️ Ceremony Goals: Telluride’s Natural Beauty Takes Center Stage
The ceremony took place at one of Telluride’s most iconic overlooks, with panoramic views of snow-dusted peaks and a valley that looked like it belonged in a painting. Guests were seated on rustic benches framed by wildflowers and mountain air. The couple exchanged vows with happy tears, soft laughter, and the kind of sunlight that photographers dream about.
If you're considering a Colorado mountain wedding, Telluride's epic landscapes are hard to beat.
💃 A Dance Floor That Didn’t Quit
After a romantic golden-hour cocktail hour (with champagne and local brews flowing), the party moved under a twinkle-lit tent where the dance floor came to life. From the couple’s first dance to a surprise conga line led by Uncle Mike, the energy never dipped — it only got better.
The playlist? A perfect mix of classics, indie favorites, and some '90s throwbacks that had everyone dancing like nobody was watching.
🌙 Late-Night Pool Party Vibes
As if the day hadn’t already been amazing, the couple kept the celebration going with a late-night pool party back at their luxury mountain lodge. Think string lights, cozy robes, cannonballs, and champagne toasts in the hot tub. Friends and family changed into swimsuits, grabbed towels, and dove into the chill, celebratory vibe like it was the most natural way to end a wedding — because honestly, it was.
Pro tip: More couples are choosing to add relaxed, personality-filled experiences like this to their wedding weekend. It’s a great way to wind down, laugh, and enjoy your people without the formal timeline.
