There is something timeless about an all-white wedding, especially when it's filled with beautiful flowers, champagne tones, and a little bit of fun. This wedding at AvantGarden in Montrose was a perfect mix of classic elegance and lively celebration. From the bride's gorgeous white look and the champagne-colored bridesmaid dresses to the mariachi, taco truck, and champagne tower, every part of the day was so much fun to photograph! We loved how the couple embraced a classic white wedding aesthetic while making the celebration feel relaxed, personal, and full of energy. Even the groom joined the all-white theme with his own white tuxedo outfit!
Getting Ready, an Emotional Ceremony and Fun Wedding Portraits at AvantGarden
The bride arrived at AvantGarden already dressed and ready, so we jumped right into her bridal portraits. We started with some individual bridal portraits and photos with the bridesmaids before the groom arrived. He looked equally stylish in his white tuxedo, which made the wedding party's overall look feel so cohesive. Once he arrived, we took some fun photos with the groomsmen by the front of the historic house. It's always nice to have a little time for these photos before the ceremony, especially when everyone is already in such a great mood! The ceremony was one of those moments that remind us why we love photographing weddings. There were happy tears, genuine laughter, and plenty of touching moments as the couple exchanged their vows. It was emotional, sweet, and full of love. After the ceremony, the bride and groom headed to the bar for a celebratory shot, followed by some photos around AvantGarden's beautiful historic bar. It's one of our favorite features of the venue, with so much character and vintage charm. The wedding party portraits were probably some of the most fun photos of the day. Everyone was in such a great mood, and we had plenty of laughs while capturing the whole group together. Then it was time for portraits of the newlyweds! We captured some classic romantic photos, including the traditional under-the-veil shot, portraits on the beautiful staircase, and some fun moments dancing with the mariachi. We also took advantage of the second floor for a few more styled portraits. The armchair upstairs was perfect for creating some elegant, editorial-looking images. A little bit of old-school glamour never hurts!
A Beautiful First Dance, a Taco Truck Reception and The Champagne Tower: The Highlight of the Night!
The reception started with a beautiful first dance. The lights of AvantGarden's gorgeous arches created such a lovely atmosphere in the background, making it one of those moments that photographs almost effortlessly. And then came dinner! If you've been to AvantGarden, you probably know that the taco truck is a favorite part of the experience. It's hard to beat great tacos at a wedding, and everyone was excited to grab some food. Of course, we couldn't resist taking a few fun photos of the couple in front of the truck. We also grabbed some sides from the buffet and enjoyed watching everyone mingle, share tacos, and celebrate. After dinner and some time with their guests, it was time for the main event: the champagne tower! The bride and groom poured champagne from the top glass, letting it flow down through the entire tower. It was such a fun moment and a great way to bring everyone together. But the champagne tower wasn't just for show! Before giving their speeches, speakers would grab a champagne glass directly from the tower. Such a fun and interactive idea that kept the celebration going! And because no classic white wedding is complete without a classic white cake, the evening continued with a beautiful cake-cutting moment. After that, we left the couple and their guests to enjoy the rest of the night and dance the celebration away.
