Southwest Inspired Micro-Wedding in Durango, Colorado

Blue Lake Ranch May 2024

The dreamiest high desert western soiree outside of Durango, Colorado.

A + Z invited 30 of their closest family and friends for a weekend getaway at Blue Lake Ranch Bed & Breakfast. This family-owned ranch includes several casitas and ranch-style cabins that are perfect for accommodating all of your guests. 

The southwest inspired reception building offers an outdoor patio overlooking the lake, and a gorgeous indoor area for dancing and warming up by the fireplace. 

A+Z enjoyed an afternoon adventure to the nearby mountains where they shared their first look and private vows. 

Later they enjoyed an intimate lakeside ceremony followed by an outdoor cocktail hour (with our local beer burros) and al fresco dinner on the back patio. 

Their curated tablescape perfectly complimented their southwest aesthetic with pops of terracotta and turquoise. 

As the sun went down everyone headed inside for a cozy evening of dancing, dessert and margaritas!
