Kim & Luke’s Ethereal Destination Wedding at St. Regis Deer Valley
Kim and Luke brought their closest friends and family to St. Regis Deer Valley for an ethereal destination wedding in a palette of pale blush and soft blue. The design was feminine, garden-inspired, and deliberately refined—elegant, classic, timeless, and sophisticated—allowing the mountain views to take center stage while every detail felt thoughtful and cohesive from day to night.
Ceremony: Mountain-View Vows on the Lawn
Set on the St. Regis ceremony lawn, the couple exchanged vows framed by sweeping alpine scenery. Garden-style florals in blush and airy blue were layered with fresh greenery to create a soft, romantic atmosphere that felt at home in the landscape. A gently petaled aisle and a floral-forward ceremony focal point grounded the scene without overwhelming the view. Programs and personal touches reflected the couple’s understated aesthetic—refined typography, delicate ribboning, and light textures that photographed beautifully in natural light. As guests settled in, the setting struck the perfect balance between intimate and grand: mountain serenity with a polished, editorial finish.
Cocktail Hour on the Mountain Terrace with Alpine Views
Guests transitioned to the Mountain Terrace for cocktail hour and panoramic vistas. Signature sips and curated hors d’oeuvres invited mingling as the pastel palette continued in petite floral accents and soft linen treatments. High/low lounge groupings and conversational clusters were placed to take advantage of the views, keeping the look cohesive while ensuring easy flow. The mood was relaxed yet elevated—fresh mountain air, golden hour light, and an effortlessly chic atmosphere that set the tone for the evening.
Reception: A Tented Astor Terrace Dinner with Live Band
For the evening celebration, guests moved to the Astor Terrace, transformed beneath a beautifully draped tent. Billowing fabric and chandeliers created a soft canopy that felt ethereal and celebratory. Layered tabletops—polished place settings, glowing candles, and blush-and-blue florals—brought the garden aesthetic indoors while preserving sightlines to the band and dance floor.

From Golden Hour to Dance Floor: The Evening Reception
As guests found their seats, an elegant plated dinner unfolded in thoughtful courses, perfectly paced between heartfelt toasts from family and friends. As the sun slipped behind the mountains, the tented Astor Terrace transformed—chandeliers warming to a glow, taper candles flickering down the long tables, and the draped ceiling catching the last light of golden hour for a truly magical scene.
When the live band struck its first chords, the dance floor filled and never emptied. From the opening number to the final encore, the night was equal parts refined and exuberant—a celebration grounded in Kim and Luke’s vision and beautifully elevated by the St. Regis Deer Valley setting.
