Aspen Food and Wine 2013 - Part 2

Now for the work part. We used the same style of furniture as last year and generally the same layout and it worked really well for circulation. It's amazing how many people fit up onto this rooftop. I ended up switching some layers (umbrellas, pillows, plants) to keep it fresh.

This rooftop is 1800 sq ft on the top of a $21.5 million house-yikes! It's amazing what a lovely space we have the chance to work in...out of this world.

{that's Aspen Mountain in the background-stunning!}

{the florist we partnered with did a fantastic job blending right into our look}

{this was the main centerpiece...i love that she did succulents and it matched our trays!}

{We were able to go to the Top Chef party which is one of the best the whole weekend! Everyone was there. :) Gail Simmons, Marc Murphy, Ted Allen, etc...it was a dream.}

{this is Viet. He is my favorite contestant on the Food Network Star reality show right now! So fun to meet him...we saw him several times throughout the weekend; he is very humble and very cool!}

{photo booth!}

{this is from the rooftop. Grand Tasting Tent is right in front with Aspen Mountain as the backdrop.}

{most of the parties were hosted by Aspen 82, a broadcasting network up there. various chefs and liquor companies would sponsor the party food and drink.}

{there is a fully built out kitchen up here and a hot tub}

{goofy glasses :) }

{we matched without even planning it!}

{this is Richard. he is the property manager and we worked with him last year too. absolutely wonderful and professional and awesome.}

{Aspen Peak Magazine hosted a party and wanted a special look, so we coordinated our orange pillows with all their florals and signage.}

{they hired a string quartet to come play. it was a much more formal party than most of the other ones for the weekend. it turned out pretty gorgeous because it was sunset, Rose Wines glowing in the dusk light and warm orange accents.}

 {last day in Aspen :( }

It was absolutely gorgeous and a wonderful weekend. I love Aspen!
