We already knew this place would be perfect before we even saw it in person. It has a spectacular view of the surrounding mountains, and, being a cross country ski lodge, it has a great camp feel, with lots of small bedrooms, packed with bunk beds and lofts.
We'll have the whole place for the entire weekend, which is exactly what we were seeking. Instead of putting lots of time and money into one single day, we'll get to spend four days on top of a mountain with our closest friends and family.
I can't wait to go back and see it again when spring finally comes around and everything isn't quite so brown. Here are a few sneak peek photos to get an idea:
And here are a couple photos I borrowed from the Stump Sprouts website, so you can see how beautiful it could be in the spring (sorry the photos are so tiny):
Needless to say, we are super duper excited! Now, there are just a few details to pull together...
Here are a couple more dresses I'm interested in, from Anthropologie. I don't feel like I have found "the one" yet, but I'll have to try on a few soon, to get a better idea. I want something pretty, but really comfortable too. Obviously, I also really really like the idea of finding a dress for under $200.
Or maybe I could find some one who would want to trade a handmade dress for a quilt? Hmmm...
Oh, also, I just got a reminder about Renegade in my inbox. We won't be able to get this wedding together AND do Renegade this June. Justin and I tried to plan things out, thinking we could manage to bust a ton of product out, go to Brooklyn for the weekend, and then get married less than a week later, but really, that's just too much! I will be terribly sad to miss it this year, but next June will be here before we know it - we'll be back at Renegade then. This summer = Wedding Weekend Extravaganza!
congrats!!!! both of those dresses are so beautiful. i miss you lady!

Out of all the dresses you've posted, I think the first one in this post is the most "Ashley." To me, anyways! It's also my favorite.
