Western Colorado Botanical Gardens Wedding

These two drove all the way out to Grand Junction from Denver not through one snowstorm, but two. So when we set out to capture some wedding photos for them, we had to make sure it was extra special! We started out with a first look and vows at the Western Colorado Botanical Gardens in Grand Junction. It was a cool sunny day in the 50’s which made the botanical gardens surprisingly a bit hot! Because of the humidity to keep all of the flowers and butterflies living their best life, botanical gardens are super hot and humid. We loved being able to go in and out of the gardens to help cool off!

After J&A read their vows to each other, we headed off to one of my favorite restaurants in Grand Junction, Taco Party! If you ever find yourself here, try the pork belly taco. It is SO good. After a quick bite we headed to a parking garage to get super creative, before heading off to a beautiful canyon overlook where we all watched sunset together!

Grand Junction is such a magical place to elope, and the Western Colorado Botanical Gardens are often overlooked as a wedding backdrop. If you’re looking for warmth and green for your wedding ceremony during winter months when everything is typically covered in snow, the botanical gardens are a perfect location. They have wedding permits for different areas, including the rainforest room where J&A shared their vows! Click here learn more about Western Colorado Botanical Gardens weddings. Country Elegance Florists also so graciously made this beautiful bouquet for us as well, if you’re looking for a florist in the valley I cannot recommend them enough!
