The post Grand Reopening | Denver Wedding Planning appeared first on Trulife Studios | Colorado Wedding Planner | Wedding Planning in Denver and Frisco.

We’re excited to share that our wonderful studio has found a new home in the LoHi area. We are nestling into 2501 15^th Street, 1B Denver CO around the corner from the fabulous Anna Be, Forest Room 5, Little Man Ice Cream, and Lola’s (best margaritas and table side guacamole around), just to name a few!

The LoHi area is an interesting mix of historical homes and new modern condo projects; think some of the best restaurants in the city, contemporary art museum, Commons Park, and is across the highway from Downtown Denver. This is a pedestrian and bicycle friendly community and is the perfect central location for couples from all over the Denver area.

For more information about the LoHi area, or to explore what the area has to offer check out their Facebook page.

Our new location will open by April 1st, 2013, in the meantime, our doors will remain open on Tennyson Street.

Looking forward to seeing you all at the new space soon!

When I got married for the second time in 2009, I was a bit ahead of the curve. Peacock-themed wedding? Check! Turquoise shoes instead of white ones? Check! Cupcakes instead of cake? Check!

One trend I didn’t realize I had started (because I am such a trend-setter, just ask my 11-year-old daughter), was giving my husband-to-be a book of sexy photos of me on our wedding day.

What a fun wedding night

About three months before my wedding, I was feeling great about my body. Like so many other brides, I was hitting the gym (or for me, the yoga studio) and watching what I ate almost to a point of obsession.  I thought, why not document my hotness and hard work in a way Steve and I both could enjoy?

A friend of mine had done some sexy photos for her anniversary, so I hired her photographer. Doing that shoot was nerve-wracking at first, but at the end I had so much fun that my glow—and self-confidence—lasted well beyond the session day.  Steve’s jaw may have dropped when he saw me in my dress, but it really dropped when he opened his album.

Bridal lingerie ignited a spark of inspiration

Fast forward exactly one year. I was a budding professional photographer shooting my first wedding for a friend. (She got married on my first anniversary, smart girl.) As she was getting her makeup done, I was in the suite’s bedroom doing detail shots when I spied her bridal lingerie. Idea! In a free moment, I proposed to take just a few photos of her in her bra and panties, on the bed. She blushed, thought about it for a beat, then agreed. We both giggled the whole way through. It was so fun for both of us!

When I delivered her wedding photos, I included a small album of her mini-boudoir session. She’s a tomboy, and she told me that she never really thought of herself as sexy … until she saw those portraits. She loved the wedding photos, but her expression changed completely when she saw her boudoir photos. She not only glowed, she glistened.

The Boudoir Studio is born

That was the moment I knew I had to help as many women as possible see themselves as beautiful, sexy creatures. I was a wedding photographer transformed into a boudoir photographer, and I started The Boudoir Studio at Lynn Clark Portraits in January 2011.

I’ve now been married for three years. And, I’ve done three boudoir sessions, each with a different photographer. I have to admit, I’m a bit addicted. Remembering how it feels to be in front of the camera in lingerie (or less) keeps me connected to my boudoir clients and helps me coach them through posing and expression. It also reminds me that I am sexy. Scratch that, I am hot. Steve doesn’t mind the photographic evidence, either.

I’ve photographed dozens of brides-to-be who have had the pleasure of watching their husband’s face light up over a sexy little album, and heard them say things like, “Wow! I can’t believe that’s me!” and “Damn, I’m hot!” Some have sent their bridesmaids – and one girl, her mother – to me to have the same experience.

In the end, it doesn’t matter if you’re a bride-to-be, single or married for 25 years. If you’re a woman, you deserve to have amazing photos that celebrate and capture who you are as a woman.

Want to do a bridal boudoir session with me?

Please schedule your session at least six weeks before the date you’d like to give your groom his album. My Hot Bride, Happy Husband package includes a Classic Boudoir Session (professional makeup with lashes, 2 outfits) and a 10-image Little Black Book. You can also upgrade your session and album, purchase digital collections and create beautiful canvas art for your own boudoir.

Schedule at http://denverboudoirphotos.com, lynn@lynnclarkportraits.com or 720-213-6476.

These recommendations are a few of the ways we’d love to assist you when choosing music.

Doing more with less is good stewardship and an excellent way to stick to a budget. Many clients assume they need a big sound/big band but often a smaller ensemble is more appropriate. Most venues have spaces that can be acoustically amplified to meet the required amplification.

Quality is the real priority. Fewer musicians can create a bigger sound when they are well trained professionals. Live music always draws interest and gives warmth to any event. It doesn’t have to overwhelm the guests nor cost the earth

We encourage our clients to explore a variety of ideas including:

1. Start with a soloist or duo for the ceremony and build a bigger sound for the cocktail hour and reception by adding more musicians…but only for the appropriate times. Don’t over-buy a band for the entire event.

2. Think of using different instruments or a unique combination of instruments to create a truly personal and unique event!

3. Use Classical and Contemporary music-Make the song selections special to reflect your personality.

4. After the intimate live performance for the ceremony and cocktail hour, choose a great DJ…. BUT remember this option is not always less expensive. Most Musicians discount their rates for each additional hour of performance. Be sure to investigate all the options!

Masterful Musicians is a network of highly trained musicians. We excel at helping brides create the perfect musical expression for all their gatherings; ceremony, cocktail hour, rehearsal dinners and receptions.

We’d love to help you design a memorable event!

We are so proud to have Fleur de Lis (a paperie) as part of our elite wedding and event professionals list.  Jenna and her crew make amazing, unique paper products for your wedding or event. A little something from the owner, Jenna:

Fleur de Lis (a paperie) is Denver’s darling boutique shop for custom invitations and personalized stationery. We house beautiful paper products as well as unique gifts, accessories and greeting cards.

I opened up my boutique in April of 2011. It was (and still is) surreal – a dream come true! I always admired the “mom and pop” shops and small boutiques I frequented while living in Florence, Italy. Opening up a boutique specializing in paper products was a perfect combination for me of business and creativity. I have a passion for quality paper, 5+ years experience, and I absolutely love working with people on custom invitations for their special occasion!

I feel very blessed to go to work every single day and create beautiful invitations and stationery with my customers. Being a small business owner is difficult at times, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world! Come see me, my family, and our shop dog any time! We are open Monday – Saturday from 10 am to 6 pm, and open Sunday by appointment only.

Fleur de Lis (a paperie) is located at 8000 East Belleview Avenue, Suite b40 in Greenwood Village. You can “like” us on facebook, and follow us on pinterest and twitter.
