Winter Weddings…Bring on the magic!

Wednesday, November 2nd, 2011

As I woke to the first real snow fall of the season in Park City yesterday…a little spark was lit inside of me. All of a sudden, I started to obsess about that perfect cup of hot cocoa, fresh baked winter goodies and warm, fuzzy boots. I let my thoughts wander and my reminiscing mind led me to an incredibly intimate wedding from last winter.  The bride, an absolute southern belle, wanted to share the most special moments of her new life, in true wintry holiday fashion. No place better than Park City for this. 

The bride and her groom met at the Montage for an emotional first peek. The snow was falling perfectly that day, as if it was sprinkling only to make their day appear as fresh and beautiful as ever.

 She chose to have her wedding at Empire Canyon Lodge and to celebrate with Deer Valley’s famous fireside dining experience. The evening fulfilled itself to be unique, romantic and overflowing with holiday and wedding spirit. At the end of the night, the happy newlyweds departed with an incredible sparkler send off with all of their dearest friends cheering them on.

A nearby horse drawn sleigh whisked them away into the night to begin their happily ever after.  

The enchantment of winter and all that it brings never ceases to amaze me. I am certain that with the snow, magic falls and creates landscapes and beauty incomparable to anything else. 

Cheers to the beginnings of cozy fireplace evenings, snow angels and winter weddings!

Summer Wedding Celebration

The team at Soirée Productions is so excited to tell you one of our favorite weddings will be featured in Inside Weddings Magazine.  This wedding had great detail and was fun from beginning to end.  The save the dates were vintage postcards of the bride and groom created by Nine Grain Design.  We created a logo that would be carried out throughout the entire wedding.  The welcome celebration kicked off the weekend with a BBQ at Silver Lake Lodge in Deer Valley, while the wedding nuptials were celebrated at Empire Canyon Lodge.  The evening began to look like it might rain on our parade but then suddenly the sun came out and shined upon all of the guests.  The bride and groom were married under the Chuppah and as they recessed down the aisle guests sprinkled lavendar to wish them well.  Following the ceremony guests enjoyed cocktail hour on the deck.  Everyone danced the night away to music provided by the Salamander Band.  The room was filled with long rectangular tables for 8-16 guests while floral topped each table with a variety of arrangements.  We worked with Val Rasmussen of StellaPosy to finish each table top perfectly.  Each place setting highlighted square chargers and china we found at Diamond Rental.  Sarah Drown of Sparkle Photography captured the day and tells the story with her photographs.  Our team at White Couture helped the bridesmaids to select their perfect Vera Wang dress all in the purple and navy hues.  Each bridesmaid selected the style that worked best for her and with a variety of styles it was easy to do.  The evening concluded with a midnight snack for guests to enjoy on their ride home-the sliders and french fries were a big hit!  Everything about this wedding came together perfectly.  We chose to submit it to share nationally because our planners felt this wedding showed what you can do while still keeping your budget within reason.  Not a detail was left out and mom and dad were pleased with the budget!  Thank you for allowing Soirée Productions to assist you in planning the perfect celebration!

Winter Weddings | Soirée Productions | Park City

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

This winter wonderland wedding designed and coordinated by Soirée Productions is one of our favorites. The snow was perfect and the bride couldn’t have been more beautiful. Empire Canyon Lodge in Deer Valley looked amazing with the white flowers provided by Orchid Dynasty in Salt Lake City. The candle light and gorgeous shining crystals dressed up the lodge for a winter theme. The candy station was a big hit and the guests danced all night. During cocktail hour guests were invited to ride the horse drawn sleigh with their hot peppermint paddy drinks-hot cocoa with peppermint liquor and homemade whipped cream all topped with shaved peppermint! Sarah Drown of Sparkle Photo captured every detail and memory of this beautiful celebration. We wish the bride and groom and lifetime of happiness. Thanks for allowing Soirée Productions to be a part of such a wonderful day!

Lindsey and Thomas Vonn on their Wedding Day!

Lindsey and Thomas Vonn on their Wedding Day!

I have been a Lindsey Vonn fan ever since she walked into White Couture in 2007 to shop for her wedding gown.  Officially Lindsey Kildrow at the time, she was as kind and she is beautiful.  It was our pleasure to assist Lindsey with her gown fitting.  Of course she looked great in every gown she tried on.  Once Lindsey tried on Judd Waddell’s collection, we knew she had found her dress.  Lindsey chose a gorgeous Judd Waddell ballgown and a fingertip veil with just a light scatter of sparkle by Erin Cole.  She truly looked like a princess in a fairy tale.  Her ivory gown was made of duchess satin with a touch of lace.  Lindsey’s wedding was held at the Deer Valley Resort; she was glowing like the night snow.

Tip Tuesday: Outdoor Wedding Splendor

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

phpThumbCA92U1VXmg_5198Utah’s Resorts are top tier for skiing but what about weddings? Utah’s resorts also have great outdoor space for weddings. Outdoor ceremonies are a popular choice in the summer and fall months. Your décor can be minimal or elaborate, colorful or monotone. Check the weather leading up to your wedding and make sure you have a back up plan in case the weather doesn’t cooperate. Most venues will automatically book a back up indoor space for your wedding but be sure and ask when you are scouting venues. You don’t want to be stuck having to rent a tent at the last minute. Some couples, even provide pashminas for their guests in case of cold weather or parasols for a hot and sunny day.  Regardless of your venue, be sure to run through a checklist of questions to ask and select the one that is right for you.  Soiree Productions is happy to provide you with our complimentary templates that include a venue checklist.  Give us a call at (435) 655-2943 and request your copy or stop by our studio to view wonderful portfolios for each of these wonderful venues.  Make it a great day and worry free!RJW_5170IMG_1747empire montoge 2293400200110
