Good-bye 2009

What a year... what a year. 2009 had the extreme ups & downs that occur from time to time. Let's reflect on some of the highlights of this past year:

~ In January I was awarded a scholarship through ISES to attend The Special Event in San Diego, CA.
~ In January Devon to Harrison's wedding was featured in Premier Bride magazine.
~ In September we were featured with Julie Gambrell of Classic Creations in Bride & Bloom magazine. I love this magazine and being part of it means the world to me!
~ Bella Rents launched in October!
~ In December two of our weddings were featured in The Knot Colorado - Anna & Sam and Iris & Jeff.
~ We are ending the year today with a sultry red wedding, lots of candles, lots of roses, lots of petals. I'm glad to be ending the year with such a beautiful wedding!

I can't put a date on it but, one of the highlights of this year was joining twitter. Yes, twitter! How could a social media website be a highlight of my year? I've met so many amazing people here in Denver and from West Coast to East Coast and Internationally! You can follow me at: bellafiorievent

We had the extreme pleasure of work on many amazing weddings this year - with very amazing brides & grooms. Thank you for letting us be part of your special day!
Here are just a few of my favorites:
Krystal & Ben
Stacey & Chris
Jen & Dan
Kate & Drew

And, well, I don't care to focus on the not so great parts of 2009, so those we'll just let rest. However, I do feel it is important to mention that it is time to bid adieu to Sarah as today marks her last day with Bella Fiori. Sarah has been with us for almost 2 years and it is time for her to spread her wings and move on. We'll miss her terribly. :(

Vendor Profile :: Jared Wilson Photography

This year I have met a new photographer, his name is Jared Wilson and he's pretty darn cool! He, Julie Gambrell of Classic Creations and myself have worked together on a few weddings plus a photo shoot for Bride & Bloom magazine.
One of the coolest things about Jared - he sends CDs of photos from our weddings extremely quickly! Of course, I always post the photos on the blog immediately so that I can share his work with all of you!!

I like this photo of the bridal bouquet being held in the aspen tree branches:


The photo from the Bride & Bloom magazine:


My absolute favorite photo that Jared has taken. It looks magical with the lights in the garden arch behind the cake cutting. Amazing photo!

The Knot Magazine - Iris & Jeff

Michelle & I were surprised to see Iris & Jeff's wedding in the latest issue of The Knot. As I mentioned yesterday, I knew that Anna & Sam were going to be featured, I had no idea Iris & Jeff's wedding would also be shown! Michelle was the lead designer on Iris & Jeff's wedding and she was tickled pink when she saw this spread.
Here's the article:

The Knot Magazine - Anna & Sam

I've known for awhile now that Anna & Sam's wedding would be featured in The Knot. Nonetheless, I couldn't wait for the issue to be released so that I could see it! Here it is:

I loved this wedding and had the great pleasure of working with Heather of Calluna Events and Jamee Photography.
