A Dream Wedding at Devil’s Thumb Ranch: Hair + Makeup by Elwynn + Cass

Nestled in the breathtaking beauty of the Colorado Rockies, Martha and Wes’s wedding at Devil’s Thumb Ranch was nothing short of magical. Surrounded by nature’s splendor, the couple celebrated their love with two days of joyous events, beginning with an elegant rehearsal dinner and culminating in a stunning wedding day that left everyone captivated.

The Bride’s Vision for Hair and Makeup

Martha had a clear vision for her wedding look: timeless elegance with a soft, natural glow that would complement the rustic yet luxurious setting of Devil’s Thumb Ranch. For two days, our team of expert hair and makeup artists worked closely with Martha to bring this vision to life. The rehearsal dinner saw a sleek, understated look that radiated sophistication. While her wedding day look was all about enhancing her natural beauty with romantic touches.

Our bride chose a classic low chignon for her ceremony, which beautifully showcased her delicate lace gown and timeless style. Her makeup was kept soft and fresh, with subtle, radiant highlights. A neutral palette that emphasized her glowing skin and bright smile. The look was completed with a touch of rosy blush and warm tones that harmonized perfectly with the soft peach and cream color palette of her floral arrangements.

Bridesmaids’ Beauty: Effortless Elegance

To ensure the entire bridal party looked cohesive yet unique, we created a second artist team dedicated to Martha’s bridesmaids. Each bridesmaid had a personalized look that reflected her individual style while maintaining the cohesive aesthetic of the group. The result? Effortless beauty with soft waves, simple updos, and natural makeup that made every one of Martha’s friends feel radiant and confident.

Their chic black pajamas on the morning of the wedding set the perfect tone of relaxed elegance. As they got ready together, sipping champagne and sharing laughs, our team made sure each bridesmaid felt pampered and picture-perfect for the day ahead.

The Wedding Day: A Picture-Perfect Ceremony

On the day of the wedding, the Colorado sun shone brightly, casting a golden light over the picturesque venue. The ceremony was set against the majestic backdrop of the Rockies, with an archway adorned in lush, romantic florals that framed the couple as they exchanged vows. Martha’s elegant updo and radiant makeup harmonized with the natural beauty around her, making her glow as she walked down the aisle.

As the day moved into the evening, our team was on hand for any last-minute touch-ups. Ensuring Martha and her bridesmaids looked flawless from the first look to the final dance. From these photos, you can see the joy, laughter, and love that filled the air are palpable, and we are honored to have been a part of  Martha’s dream wedding.
