Winter Wedding Elegance in Sun Valley

“On a cold, clear day in February, we said “I do” in Sun Valley. Getting married in Sun Valley was very special to us not only because it is where we are both from, but because it is an iconic landmark in the mountain west. Both being avid skiers, getting married in the home of the first chairlift, in the middle of the winter, was a special experience we will both cherish forever. When it came time to plan the wedding we both had the same three important things: winter, outside ceremony, and we have to ski the next day with everyone we love. We immediately went to all of the different resources we had to figure out the logistics behind a winter wedding in a ski resort community. Luckily I happen to own every issue of Rocky Mountain Bride since 2017. I am so passionately in love with all things wedding, and I have read every issue of RMB no less than 20 times each. We decided to pick three adjectives to give the theme of our wedding; timeless, romantic, elegant. After that it was easier to pick things based on if they fit into those adjectives or not. We ultimately ended up calling our wedding style “Rocky Mountain glamorous.” Our biggest planning recommendation is to make lists; lots and lots of lists! Using resources like RMB is really helpful to make a list of the things you need, want, your vision, what to talk with vendors about, etc. Our other recommendation is to prioritize your lists and what is most important to you. For us, location and photo/video was most important. So we started there and then filled in the other details…”
