Maroon Bells Intimate Wedding
In the heart of the Rocky Mountains, where the air is crisp and the landscapes are awe-inspiring, lies a magical destination perfect for an intimate wedding ceremony - Maroon Bells, Colorado. This picturesque location, surrounded by snow-capped peaks and alpine lakes, sets the stage for a romantic elopement, especially during the warm embrace of July. Imagine saying your vows amidst the beauty of nature, with close family by your side, capturing every moment as you explore the iconic Maroon Bells for photos, followed by a private dinner prepared by a chef in the comfort of your AirBNB. Let's delve into the details of this dreamy elopement experience.
Maroon Bells, nestled within the Maroon-Snowmass Wilderness, is renowned for its breathtaking scenery. Towering peaks of maroon-colored rocks, reflected in the pristine Maroon Lake, create a backdrop that is nothing short of enchanting. July brings a burst of wildflowers, adding to the already stunning landscape. The crisp mountain air and the gentle rustling of aspen leaves set the stage for an intimate and memorable celebration.
These two chose to exchanging vows amidst the towering aspen trees, in the ceremony space created in the middle of the Bells. The serene ambiance of Maroon Lake, with its mirror-like reflection of the surrounding peaks, provided an ethereal backdrop for their commitment to one another. With close family as witnesses, they had a beautiful mix of American and Indian tradition. The groom, wanted to include a few of the special traditions, many times the groom gifts the bride with a necklace of black and gold, the mangala sutra(auspicious thread) and with that the bride is said to receive special blessings throughout the marriage. Another special tradition is gifts of gold from parents, which was a gold chain for him, and a gold bangle for her. I felt so honored to witness so many beautiful traditions, this ceremony became a cherished and intimate affair, surrounded by the beauty of nature.
After the vows have been exchanged, we took the opportunity to explore the surroundings for some unforgettable photos. We wandered along the Crater Lake Trail & ventured into the Maroon-Snowmass Wilderness for more secluded spots. The July weather gave us vibrant wildflowers in full bloom, creating a colorful tapestry against the majestic mountains. There was no shortage of breathtaking backdrops to immortalize this special day.
After a day of adventure and love, we returned to a cozy AirBNB for an intimate dinner prepared by a private chef. This personalized dining experience allowed everyone to savor a delicious meal crafted to their preferences, without the distractions of a crowded restaurant. Toast were made, with many laughs and even some tears, as wonderful stories were told during this private celebration.
Conclusion: Eloping at Maroon Bells in July with close family offers a unique and intimate wedding experience surrounded by the natural beauty of the Rocky Mountains. From heartfelt vows in a serene setting to exploring the iconic Maroon Bells for photos, and ending the day with a private chef-curated dinner at your AirBNB, this elopement promises to be a celebration of love, nature, and cherished moments that will last a lifetime.
