There’s something magical about a Colorado mountain wedding. The fresh alpine air, sweeping views, and the sense of adventure that comes with saying “I do” at altitude in the Rocky Mountains are impossible to replicate anywhere else in the world. The invitations and day-of stationery that accompany these celebrations set the stage, offering guests their very first glimpse of the destination and the couple’s vision for the day.
Serving Couples in Colorado
At Lucky Onion, we’ve been rooted in Denver for over two decades, serving couples both here in Colorado and all around the world. While we’re fortunate to design for celebrations across many breathtaking destinations, there’s always something especially meaningful about working in the Colorado Rockies. From Aspen’s world-renowned Western vibe to Telluride’s adventurous charm, Boulder’s university mountain town feel, to Vail’s European-inspired beauty, each location inspires designs that feel deeply connected to both place and couple.
In this guide, we’re sharing a collection of invitation suites and corresponding stationery from real weddings throughout the Rockies. Whether you’re planning your own mountain wedding or simply seeking inspiration, these pieces show how location, personality, and design come together on paper to create something unforgettable.

Aspen, Colorado Wedding Invitations
Aspen weddings are the perfect blend of world-class luxury and rustic mountain charm, and the invitation suites designed for them often reflect that balance. Couples drawn to Aspen tend to lean into elegant details like rich textures, refined typography, and subtle nods to the surrounding peaks, while still keeping the overall feel warm and inviting. Whether it’s a chic black-tie celebration downtown or a rustic yet elevated gathering on the mountain, Aspen stationery sets the tone for a wedding that feels both polished and deeply connected to its natural surroundings.
One stunning example is a Little Nell mountaintop wedding that we had the pleasure of working on a few years ago. The couple, both avid skiers and hikers, chose a ceremony with sweeping 360-degree views. Their invitation suite reflected that adventurous yet refined spirit, incorporating mountain-inspired artwork, hand-drawn maps, and shimmering gold-foil details. The result was a design that not only celebrated the grandeur of Aspen’s landscape but also captured the couple’s personal connection to the mountains.

Telluride, Colorado Wedding Invitations
Tucked into a box canyon surrounded by incredibly dramatic peaks, Telluride has a way of making weddings feel both intimate and breathtakingly grand. It’s a destination that draws couples who love its rugged beauty, laid-back character, and Western heritage. The stationery that we design for Telluride celebrations often weaves together natural textures and organic details, perfectly echoing the mountain town’s mix of adventure and authenticity.
For Ciara and Jonathan’s Telluride Wedding, that balance came to life in their invitation suite. Ciara, who grew up near Colorado cattle ranches, and Jonathan, an avid outdoorsman from the Netherlands, wanted their stationery to reflect both their roots and their love of nature. We incorporated warm, tactile elements like leather, wood, and handmade papers to create a suite that felt personal, grounded, and inviting. Every detail was a nod to their story while giving guests a heartfelt welcome to a celebration framed by the wild beauty of Telluride.

Vail, Colorado Wedding Invitations
Vail is known for its sweeping alpine views, European-inspired charm, and year-round appeal, making it one of Colorado’s most iconic wedding and travel destinations. Couples drawn to Vail often look for stationery that blends natural mountain beauty with refined elegance, something that feels elevated while still deeply rooted in the outdoors. Invitations here often strike a balance between quiet luxury and a rustic mountain feel, setting the tone for celebrations that are both welcoming and unforgettable.
Marie and Peyton’s Vail, Colorado wedding suite perfectly captured that balance. Inspired by their desire to connect with nature while introducing a sense of understated luxury, we designed a collection that featured rich textures, varying shades of blue, and a hand-drawn illustration of the Vail mountains. The result was a beautiful yet personal suite that set the tone for their wedding weekend and was an ideal reflection of their vision for a Vail celebration.

Boulder, Colorado Wedding Invitations
With its mix of mountain views and vibrant downtown, Boulder offers couples the best of both worlds. From outdoor celebrations framed by the iconic Flatirons to elegant receptions at high-end hotels like the St. Julien Hotel, weddings here often carry a balance of natural beauty and modern sophistication.
This Boulder, Colorado wedding suite was designed to celebrate an intimate October wedding in the heart of the Rockies. Inspired by the season’s warm, moody palette and the couple’s love for the mountains, we created stationery that blended rich autumn tones, elegant typography, and thoughtful details to reflect their vision for a cozy yet refined celebration. The result was a sophisticated, deeply personal suite that introduced guests to the beauty of Boulder in the fall and set the perfect tone for their wedding weekend.
