When you think of a mountain wedding in Colorado, you might picture serene views, neutral palettes, and rustic charm. But for this couple, their dream day was anything but muted. Nestled in the pine-covered peaks of the Pinecrest venue in Palmer Lake/Colorado Springs, this wedding was a vibrant collision of nature and disco fever and it was unforgettable.

From the moment guests arrived, they knew this wasn’t your average mountaintop celebration. Reflective disco balls in the chapel, catching the light and scattering rainbow flecks across the forest floor. Bright pops of hot pink, tangerine through the florals and bridal party attire.

The Look:
Her bridal glam was just as intentional as every other detail of the day. As her makeup artist, I wanted her look to reflect both her bold personality and the playful energy of the wedding design, while still feeling timeless when she looked back at photos years from now.

We kept her skin satin matte, with soft sculpting to accentuate her natural features and a radiant highlight that caught the light in all the right places. Her eyelids had a champagne shimmer—subtle but ethereal—with fluttery lashes that added just the right touch of drama. The statement? That smokey winged eyeshadow and shimmer lid.

For her bridal party, we went with coordinating glam: soft pinky tones and radiant skin to complement the disco-meets-destination vibe. Everyone still felt like themselves, just dialed up with color and confidence.

Behind the Glam:
For anyone planning a themed wedding or bringing a bold vision to life: choose a makeup artist who listens, who can help you translate Pinterest boards into wearable looks, and who can balance trend with timelessness. Your face will be in every photo and your glam deserves to reflect all the joy and energy you’re bringing into your day.
