It’s been a busy and exciting week here at D*S, and the best has most definitely been saved for last because tomorrow, Kate Pruitt flies into town! She’s joining Amy and I in the office for two weeks while we work on tons of DIY projects for the site, as well as some other fun D*S-related side-projects. I’m running out to pick up some things to make her temporary home more comfortable, but I wanted to wrap up this week with something fitting for the happy mood in the office: a beautiful weekend wedding designed and styled by Jolene Sullivan and photographed by Tec Petaja. From the flowers on the tables to the hand-drawn maps and incredible setting (Dunton Hot Springs), this weekend looks just perfect. If this doesn’t make you long for a summer spent in the mountains, I don’t know what will.
I wanted to send an extra thanks to all of you for supporting our new projects this week — the radio show and Pinterest page. We’re so excited about both and happy to have all of your feedback. xo, grace

Everything about this wedding is just lovely…the outdoor ceremony surrounded by trees, the yellow and navy colour scheme with hints of nature…ooh and the nameplace cards tucked in the forks! so simple x
Love the ambiance! It seems so much more romantic to hav a wedding in such a simle environment!
Everything feels so warm, cozy, and intimate!
Love it! …especially all the details. Colorado weddings are beautiful, thanks for showcasing my state! ;-)
So pretty. I feel like they made it have personality, which was the most important thing for our wedding
Incredible photography work. Gorgeous wedding!
Colorado itself does a good job of making special moments beautiful, but their touches are oh so gorgeous and *just right* Thanks for sharing!
Quite simply gorgeous ! Love the setting, the photography, and all the beautiful details. What a fab idea to put the place cards in/on the forks. Brilliant.
Everything about this wedding is perfect!
Oooh yellow theme. C’est beautiful much!
If that isn’t breathtaking, then what is?
Well this is just lovely! The programs & the map – adorable!!
Beautiful. I love every detail. Thoughtful but not overdone.
Absolutely gorgeous! My son had his wedding in a very similar setting on the Rogue River in Oregon. Something about the natural setting is so peaceful and perfect! Thanks for sharing this!!!
I left my heart in the San Juan Mountains. Nothing can touch a Colorado wedding. Love the fall theme and the feathers. So near to my hometown….
WOW. Just so beautiful
I love the yellow flowers, so beautiful and what a gorgeous location
What a lovely wedding! Thanks for sharing!
Are the stripey vases diy or sourced? Would they mind sharing?
Thank you! Have been waiting for these pics!!! (Studio Choo put up a tease after the wedding weekend!)
Hi, Becca – the vases are from Chicago ceramicist, Up in the Air Somewhere. The gold-leaf + stripe/zig-zag pattern is such a winning combination! ;)
Thanks for all your kind comments, everyone!
Beautiful, love the unique hand-made style flower accents, and the starlit sky as inspiration for the seating is so romantic and sweet!
JOLENE!!! Thank you! (I’m in Chicago…it was meant to be!) So so pretty! I completely agree, I’m taken by the combo! Thank you again!
This wedding is breathtaking! The styling is absolutely exquisite and it’s all in the detail. I adore the astrology seating chart xo
Nice details. But it’s sort of odd that everyone is wearing the same color. Kind of like a navy prep school blazer reunion.
I’m enamored by every wedding I’ve see shot here. It’s my mission to be a guest there someday – looks so heavenly!
Wow, this is just a gorgeous wedding. The florals are incredible! Love the special details!
