Melissa and Eduardo chose Aspen for the wedding, as the bride has a family home there. The groom, originally from Puerto Rico, wanted his family and friends from the island to experience the famous mountain town. Historic Hotel Jerome offered a taste of the true West to their 150 guests, and was convenient to the John Denver Sanctuary, where they had their first look and photo session. The wedding was held on Hotel Jerome’s garden terrace, before white and green arch custom-designed by Melissa’s sister and brought to life by Mountain Occasions and Aspen Branch. At the reception, a second custom arch framed the head table and then transformed into a stunning focal point over the dance floor.
