A Ranch Venue With a Formal Dress Code: Gabby and Isaac's Aspen Wedding at Chaparral Ranch

Gabby and Isaac married in Aspen, a town they already considered theirs, so the location was never in question. They booked Chaparral Ranch and still asked guests to come in formal evening wear. That's the planning lesson here: a ranch doesn't require a casual dress code. Design and production went to Gold Leaf Event Design & Production, who based the look on a natural, earthy color scheme. For a couple weighing a Colorado ranch against a ballroom, this wedding shows you can have the open-country setting and the formal dress code at the same event. It also helps to have one firm handle both design and production, so the décor and the event logistics are planned together.
