Roslyn & Tom Greenbriar Inn
A Fairytale Wedding at The Greenbriar Inn: Roslyn & Tom's Mystical Celebration
As a wedding photographer, I have the privilege of witnessing countless love stories unfold. But every now and then, a wedding comes along that feels truly magical, and Roslyn and Tom’s celebration at The Greenbriar Inn in Boulder, Colorado was one of those enchanting moments.
From the very beginning, this wedding radiated an air of mystique and romance that made it feel like something straight out of a fairytale. Nestled in the lush gardens of The Greenbriar Inn, a venue renowned for its picturesque beauty, Roslyn and Tom’s special day was a testament to their unique love story and their appreciation for the finer details.
A Venue That Breathes Magic
The Greenbriar Inn’s garden setting is a dream for any photographer, with its vibrant flora and charming ambiance. Despite the weather's attempt to add a touch of unpredictability, the grounds remained absolutely stunning. The rain-soaked leaves and soft mist only added to the ethereal atmosphere, making it the perfect backdrop for Roslyn and Tom’s celebration.
Floral Wonders by Lilac and Sage
The floral arrangements by Lilac and Sage Studio were nothing short of breathtaking. Each bouquet and centerpiece seemed to tell its own story, enhancing the natural beauty of the venue. The flowers provided a vibrant and whimsical contrast against the garden’s serene backdrop, making for some truly stunning photographs.
A Gown Straight Out of a Dream
Roslyn’s custom Vesper gown by Elizabeth Dye was a work of art. The delicate lace, flowing silhouette, and intricate details made it a perfect choice for a garden wedding. Her veil from Ofrenda Studio was the finishing touch that added an extra layer of grace and elegance to her look.
Traditions and Literature
One of the most memorable aspects of the day was the cake pull—a beloved tradition from Roslyn’s family in New Orleans. Her bridesmaids gathered around as they participated in this joyful ritual, each pulling a charm from the cake to reveal their future fortunes. It was a beautiful nod to Roslyn’s heritage and a fun, interactive moment that everyone enjoyed.
As an English professor and a book lover, Tom’s and Roslyn’s love for literature was elegantly woven into the day. From personalized book-themed decor to subtle literary references throughout the event, their shared passion was celebrated in the most charming ways.
Hair and Makeup That Sparkled
Roslyn’s hair and makeup by Abstract Beauty Co. was flawless. Her look was both sophisticated and natural, perfectly complementing her overall style. The hairpiece from Twigs and Honey added a touch of whimsy, completing her bridal ensemble with a hint of magic.
