Nicole and Rocky, one of our couples that are tying the knot this August, just shared the pics from their engagement shoot. Adorable! Thanks to the mastery of Jay Yates Photography - amazing eye!

We love Etsy Tuesday! Silk Neckpiece

We found this lovely confection on Etsy. What a beautiful addition to any strapless gown to add a party flair to your dress for the reception! It is currently offered by Indulgence Couture.

Plumeria Perfection

Because I grew up on Maui, I am destined to be partial to the sweet smell of plumeria. But I've never seen a full plumeria bouquet. I found this pic on the The Pearl Events Blog. Love it!

Pretty, pretty place cards

Also known as escort cards, we love a pretty presentation of place cards. As we were pulling together a few ideas for a client of ours, we thought we would share a few pieces a place card inspiration we found all over the Internet! Lovely, no?

Heaven on Earth

We came upon this bride in ruffled loveliness on one of our favorite blogs, 100 Layer Cake. Perfection.

We love Etsy Tuesday - Butterfly place cards

What a fluttering detail - hand painted butterfly place cards offered by Timeless Paper.

Butterflies not for you? They also offer place cards in peacocks and birds!


A lovely detail for an intimate reception or rehearsal dinner !

Favorite Vendor Friday - Cori Cook Designs

I love a fellow newbie to the Denver wedding scene, and Cori Cook is fresh off the stylish boat from LA. Her fantastic, contemporary designs are sure to appeal to those very distinctive brides.

She is so lovely to work with, and a joy to be around!

Such fun innovation, love these colors!

Love her style, it was featured in Southern Wedding Magazine, congrats Cori!

We love Etsy Tuesday! Natural Pillow

What a great bohemian style! This moss ring bearer's pillow is a sign of the green times! For sale on Etsy from April Hiler Designs, this handmade work of ring bearer art would be right at home in a mountain wedding!

Congrats to the beautiful couple!

Favorite Vendor Friday - A Boulder Affair

I met with Veronica from A Boulder Affair today about three of our upcoming weddings and I loved her style! Her company is based on a beautiful piece of land in Boulder, just staring out over the mountains!

What makes A Boulder Affair unique is their ability to make custom linens for a very competitive rental price - every bride loves a deal!

We can't wait to see what Veronica dreams up for our brides!

Beautiful Southern Wedding

Worthington Photography shot this amazing Southern wedding of Jill and Todd in Virginia. The crisp palette colors of pear green, summer blues, and white really set the stage for a romantic southern wedding. It gives us such inspiration! Congrats to the Bride and Groom!

Favorite Vendor Friday - JS Design Custom

Our featured vendor of the week is JS Design Custom! Julie creates works of art for brides and grooms with her creative style and out-of-the-box ideas! I've seen her work first hand, and it is amazing!

Unique Wedding Programs

As brides are more focused on paper products as an communicative aspect of their wedding, programs for ceremonies are now a staple at any wedding. Our distinct brides love unique ways to communicate the wedding party, order of the ceremony, and thank yous to their guests. This is a lovely takeaway and memento for everyone to enjoy!
Here are a few of our favorite programs, thank you to Martha Stewart Weddings for the inspiration!

Summer Wedding - Nena and Rod

Here is a sneak preview of Nena and Rod's summer wedding. It will be a fresh, fun, summer event for a beautiful couple - we can't wait! They are Meant To Bee!

Etsy Item of the Week

Every week, I will highlight an item from Etsy that I think is a treasure for any bride and grooms. The first item is this lovely orchid hair comb, so chic! At $43.00, it's perfect for any budget.

Event in review: Hopscotch Hustle

On Sunday, April 6th, A Touch of Bliss produced Hopscotch Hustle: Hip Moms and Cool Tots hit the runway for the benefit of WeeCycle. The event was held at The Curtis Hotel in downtown Denver.


Guests were greeted by a children's choir and bubble machines flocked the entryway. 30 momprenuer vendors filled the foyer and two side ballrooms where guests found amazing goodies from Comfortably Fun, Wondertoast, and Shady Baby. Passed fancy carnival fare included milkshake shots with oreo cookies, corn dogs and fruit loops in Asian spoons. Over 100 items were featured in the silent auction.


The little ones enjoyed their own bar, face painting and balloon animals. Hula Hoops, Spin Art, life sized Jenga and Connect Four kept everyone entertained.
In the afternoon, the main event took the stage as the runway show began. 40 adult models and 40 kids modeled the spring fashions of local Denver and Boulder boutiques including Blush, Loft 22, Tallulah Jones, and Real Baby. Here is a shot of me thanking our sponsors and over 40 volunteers!

Littleague, a hip hop performance family friendly group opened the show and kept the energy high!!

Here comes my little guy opening the show with Anna P!

The show featured baby wearing styles from Becoming Mothers.

Have you ever seen a Bugaboo on a runway?

Here is Patrycja modeling looks from Loft 22, and five months pregnant - gorgeous!

Thank you to everyone who participated, donated and volunteered, we raised over $7000 for the WeeCycle organization!

Thank you to Ricardo Mejia for shooting the event free of charge - fabulous!
