This past Friday, I spent the night at the Timberline Condominiums in Snowmass, Colorado. Snowmass is located about 12 miles north of Aspen. It is off the beaten path and on top of a hill, right next to the ski lift.
When you go outside all you hear is nature. It was so quiet and peaceful. The Timberline Condos are made up of condos so each is different. Each unit is well decorated and very comfortable. They have units ranging from one bedroom to three bedrooms. For someone who wants to fix their own meals etc. each has a kitchen, fully equipped.
There's a large patio that can accommodate 250 people for a wedding/reception, or if you prefer an intimate Planned Elopement, there's many places along the river, up the hill etc. that your ceremony can take place. Check it out at www.thetimberline.com.
I'm also happy to announce that I'm the National Rep. for Scottish Kilt Pins, Crosses and Celtic Crosses, all made from Pure Scottish Silver (925). Each piece is unique and handcrafted. Each is Hallmarked Sterling Silver and draws a design influence from an early Scots Celtic Cross. Each item is hallmarked depicting quality, strength and durability with a quality and sentient that will last a lifetime. These will make keepsake gifts for your attendants, family, bride or groom. A must for every Scottish bride and groom! For more information, contact me at www.weddingsbytanya.com. This company can also do custom jewelry in silver or gold. If you have a family gem, they can create the perfect piece of jewelry for both men and women. (Pictures will be forthcoming.)

Unusual wedding site
Yesterday I had the opportunity to take a ride on the Georgetown Loop. If you haven't experienced this train ride, it's a must do on your list! The trip we took was 2.5 hours as we also took the mine tour, which is well worth the price.
There are several beautiful locations for weddings and receptions. They are now offering a dining experience in the evenings.
Imagine being on an old Victorian era train, riding through the pines with the blue sky above and the creek below. Stopping on a 75' bridge to have your ceremony then having champagne served as you chug your way to your reception. You could even go the next step and dress the part, have your guests in Victorian costume, decorate the train, etc.
This is the perfect venue for an elopement as well as they are willing to stop the train for the ceremony. There are so many possibilities where a ceremony could take place.
If you are into history, this is an idea you must investigate! Contact me at tanya@weddingsbytanya.com for more information. Check out their website at www.georgetownlooprr.com.

Asian/Hindi wedding and traditions
I'm working on a Hindi wedding. This has been a very interesting experince for me as there is so much tradition. It's going to be beautiful and very colorful. I love working with different cultures and learning about their various ways and traditions and would welcome the opportunity to work with more Asian cultures.
To me, when planning a wedding, it's important to include traditions. Ask your parents and grandparents what they did and see if there's a way you can incorporate something from their weddings into yours. As a surprise consider having the song that was your parents first dance played.
Another thought is to copy the bouquet your mother carried, perhaps incorporating some of the same flowers in your own bouquet.
Ask if your mother or grandmother has a special set of candle holders then use them for your unity candle ceremony. It doesn't matter if they are colored, in the form of elephants etc. if they have special meaning for you, use them.
As you think through your wedding plans, think of things that your children can carry forward as well. Have your cake knife engraved. It will make it an heirloom to pass along.
If you're looking for a different, romantic, affordable destination wedding site, contact me about venues in the Philippine Islands.
Happy planning! Remember, I'm avilable to travel to anywhere in the world to assist you with your wedding. I'm just a call or email away. tanya@weddingsbytanya.com or www.weddingsbytanya.com.

HAPPY MAY DAY!
Can you believe it' May already? Wedding season is getting ready to burst forth just like the flowers!
The economy is easing a bit, but still has couples worrying about their weddings and how to have the one they want for the budget they have available.
One of the best ways to keep in check is to hire a good wedding coordinator. I can't emphasize how important this is as we know the vendors who will do the best job for them within their budget. One of the big ways we save you money is in time. Let us make the inital calls to pre-qualfy vendors for you.
A possible thought is to do a Planned Elopement. There is no reason that an elopement needs to be just to Vegas anymore. I can help you plan anywhere you'd like to go, including the Philippine Islands and be there if you'd like. A Planned Elopement can be a elaborate as you'd like. It can include flowers, photography, videography, special dinner arrangements, wedding cake and just about anything else you'd like included. I take care of all the arrangements and can preform the ceremony.
Destination weddings are a great way to save money as it limits the number of guests who will attend.
Don't spend your valuable time researching venues and vendors. Give me a call or email for more information on how I can help you. I'm happy to travel outside of Colorado should you care to hire someone who hasn't worked with all your friends and can give you a fresh take on planning your wedding. I currently have a few dates available for 2009 and am booking into 2010 on a limited basis.
I'm currently working on a traditional Hindi wedding so those of you who are going to have an Indian/Asian wedding, I do have first hand knowledge of the traditions and can help make your day special. Denver is a beautiful place for your wedding.
