Denver Botanic Gardens: Art in the Gardens

Denver Botanic Gardens is not only the most beautiful place to have your wedding ceremony and reception in Denver; it also currently houses a stunning collection of Henry Moore sculpture.

Convex surfaces and concave interiors play against the texture and scale of the natural world in “Moore in the Gardens” – a truly significant presentation of works by acclaimed 20th century British sculptor, Henry Moore

(1898-1986). Visitors will find monumental reclining figures and colossal abstracted forms throughout the Gardens’ York Street location.

Featured Wedding: Bethy and Matt

All things white and platinum were the order of the day for this simply elegant wedding in downtown Denver. Bethy chose fragrant gardenias, feathery lisianthus, ivory roses, silver brunia berries and velvety soft dusty miller for her bridal bouquet. Matt's boutonniere was a simple cluster of silver brunia berries finished with a platinum satin ribbon wrapped around the stems. The wedding ceremony flowers needed to make a big statement in the vaulted and highly decorated church, so we used white hydrangea, Siberian lilies, Queen Ann's Lace, locally grown snapdragons and dramatically white painted curly willow for as much height as we could muster.

Our thanks go out to Bethy and Matt for being truly fabulous clients. Your wedding day was gorgeous, joyful and filled with love. We could just see the happiness flowing from you on your once-in-a-lifetime day!

Featured Vendor: Cake Crumbs

This has got to be the cutest, most nostalgic delivery truck I have ever seen! It makes me think of steamy summer days in New England when we would hear the ice cream man coming and race down to the road with our pennies & nickels. You'll need a bit more than pennies and there is no ice cream aboard, but Cake Crumbs' new cupcake truck will be making the rounds in Denver very soon. Keep an eye out for this sweet-mobile at an office park near you.

P.S. Cake Crumbs also make some pretty fantastic Birthday Cakes and Wedding Cakes too! Stop by their location at 2216 Kearney Street Denver, CO, 80207 or call (303) 861-4912 and tell them that Denver's Best Wedding Florist sent you!
