The wedding will be on Saturday, October 16th, 2021.
Our ceremony is being held just north of the Brown Springs Campground and OHV recreational area inside of Choke Cherry Canyon! Brown Springs is 3.5 miles inside the canyon off the main road. If you follow the main road in, you can't miss it!
The ceremony will be starting at 5:30pm on 10/16 so make sure you get there a little early to find a parking spot and get a good seat! The ceremony will go until 6, and then the members of the wedding party will be doing photos from 6-7pm while the rest of the guests are welcome to go back to our home and start cocktail hour!
Our reception will be held at our home at 2120 Municipal Drive, Farmington, New Mexico 87401. We decided that we'd rather have everyone come celebrate with us family style at home instead of renting out an entire venue for such an intimate gathering! Since there will only be 40 guests, we feel it will be super cozy and personal, and add a little more character than hosting it elsewhere!
Dinner will be served at our home during the reception at 7:00! A cocktail hour with hors d'oeuvres will be from 6:00 to 7:00 while the wedding party is doing photos, so plenty of snack will be available. Don't forget to submit your dinner requests and dietary concerns when you RSVP!
You can park almost anywhere, but it would be easiest for everyone if parking is limited to the parking lot at the entrance to the campground. From there you can walk up to the ceremony site (about two tenths of a mile)!
We have picked out a total of four colors for our theme! We picked "Refuge Blue" (R76, G88, B100) for our bridesmaid's dresses! We chose "Naïve Peach" (R178, G123, B102) and "Magical Purple" (R146, G110, B143) as our accent colors. The guys' tuxes will all be in a shade called "Swing Brown" (R106, G68, B59).
We are ordering all of the bridesmaids' dresses off of Azazie.com! They have tons of different sizes and styles, and they don't break the bank. The Azazie swatch that most closely matches our color "Refuge Blue" is the swatch called "Neptune".
The Groomsmens' ties are also from Azazie.com! They sell ties and pocket squares in the same color swatch as the ladies' dresses, so they're a perfect match!
