The hottest ticket in Salt Lake City? The Eccles Theatre. Downtown’s new showstopper not only brings in Broadway hits and the biggest names in comedy and music, it also happens to house grand party spaces. Hosts can choose from intimate outdoor patios overlooking Main Street, the theater’s Grand Lobby or even the stage itself. No kidding.
If hosting a wedding inside a modern architectural icon seems daunting, fear not. Steal these style-savvy design tips from Michelle Cousins of Michelle Leo Events and caterer Cuisine Unlimited. Michelle helped Utah Bride & Groom roll out the red carpet for 275 wedding vendors inside Eccles Theatre’s Grand Lobby.
Also, play up the surrounding environment. “The Performing Arts Center is such an open and contemporary space that we wanted the event design to have the same contemporary feel with a splash of elegance,keeping in line with Utah’s wedding industry,” Cousins says.
Green and gold are white’s best friends. “By adding a splash of green to the overall color palette, the event design offered depth to the otherwise white space of the theater lobby,” says Cousins. “Pops of gold provided warmth to the space and complemented the rich tones of the mostly-green centerpieces. Geodes paired with air plants, succulents and lush greens elevated the scene,” she says of the table décor provided by Decoration Inc. “String-art signage, table numbers and a paper-floral backdrop for photos offered visual appeal and a creative approach to an otherwise traditional element.”
Finally, it’s okay to play with your food. Action stations allowed guests to customize their meals. Various stops offered hand-scooped cookie dough, build-your-own caprese, potato gaufrettes with caviar, smoked salmon tea sandwiches and pork belly with Brussels sprouts.
There was a time when color used to be considered a risky approach when garbing a groom. It was guaranteed to attract attention—and not always the right kind. Today, however, men-of-the-moment are fashionably sporting a variety of haute hues during the big day, and the statement they make is one of pure, personalized style.
Electric blue, salmon, emerald and burgundy are the hot hues of the season. Paired with any bridal gown, vibrant jackets, trousers and suits provide a fresh take on a groom’s getup. Say goodbye to grey and hello to color.
Visit True Gentlemen Supply Company’s new flagship boutique in Sugar House. Stocked with suit samples, thousands
of fabric options and a tie wall, the haberdashery has a lounge area and big screen TV that invite guys to watch the big game while shopping for their big day.
“Green has been all the rage this year and is expected to continue to be throughout next year,” says Trapper Roderick, owner of True Gentlemen Supply Company. “You will start to see more aggressive textures and patterns in green suits. They’re a great choice because the color is clean and fresh yet simple and noticeably unique.”
Red suits are great year-round for making a bold statement instead of opting for a wild pattern,” Roderick says. “A black shoe dresses it up, while a brown shoe makes it more casual. A jacket can also be worn as a blazer with jeans.”

“Blue is a great look for a casual wedding or for your everyday business casual attire. The blazer is a half-linen, half-wool blend from our Ariston collection (on opposite page). The blazer starts at $1,599,”Trapper says. “This plaid look can be worn with jeans or a pair of blue slacks depending on the mood you want to give off.”
In 113 years of business, Utah Woolen Mills has never ceased to amaze Utah’s evolving fashion scene. For 2018, UWM adds Tom Nox—starting at $395—to their strong lineup of designer offerings. “We aren’t sacrificing quality of luxury, we’re still the same strong brand,” says stylist Taylor Hawkins. “We just want everyone to be able to be a part of UWM.”
“The olive suit has been dormant for the past decade, but man, it is back and more beautiful than ever,” Hawkins says. “Olive is such a great color for most people’s skin tones, too. If you’ve passed on olive before, rethink it. It will give you a great color that’s outside the basic navy, charcoal and gray.”
Like olive, the colors and styles of the 70s are back. Burgundy suits satisfy two important categories for today: casual and formal. If you take a look at this man (above), his suit looks very casual and fun, but if paired with a white tux shirt and black bow tie, he could steal the show at any wedding.”
“Bright blue has been around for a couple of seasons but is still a must. Brighter blue suits have so much life and color and versatility,”Hawkins says. “They can be used in any business setting, around the office, at corporate meetings and especially at a wedding. Blues blend so nicely, making them really easy to combine patterns and colors in shirts, ties and pocket squares.”
“This medium-blue twill cloth in a windowpane pattern is worn as a sport coat and paired with a light blue trouser that echoes the shade of the check in the jacket,” Yeats explains. “I like this paired with a chocolate silk knit tie and a spread-collar oxford shirt.”
“Grooms have more options than ever before to find the perfect color for their weddings. As the days of the rented black tux come to an end, grooms everywhere are experimenting with color and seeing the freshness it brings,” says Beckett & Robb co-owner and CEO Jason Yeats. “Reputable tailors now have access to every color imaginable in wool, linen or cotton.”
A Prince of Wales patterned jacket in a bold shade of purple definitely pops. “Broad-peaked lapels add to the strength of this look. This top works with navy trousers and a navy silk grenadine tie,” Yeats says.
Yeats’s top tip for grooms? Wear complementary separate jacket and trousers rather than a two-piece suit. He says, “Breaking up a louder color has a way of toning down the look while still making a statement.” Investing in custom pieces is wise because they can be worn long after the wedding.
“Here’s a royal blue hopsack jacket in wool and silk, paired with a cotton/linen off-white, trouser. Solids are more formal than patterns, making this pairing somehow both playful and elegant,” says Yeats, who adds a navy grenadine tie and dark loafers to anchor the look.
Thinking about renting a photo booth for your wedding day?
Here at Utah Bride & Groom, some of our favorite wedding memories have come from the photos we’ve taken in photo booths. Photo booths are a versatile way to add personality and entertainment to any wedding. From DIY to rentals, there are plenty of options out there to make it seem like an overwhelming part of wedding planning. We met with Pamela Godwin from Sideshow Vintage Photo Booth to talk about their pride and joy, Lucille, and advice for couples considering a photo booth. Here’s what she had to say.
Tell us a little more about Sideshow Vintage Photo Booth and Lucille, of course
“Lucille is a 1956 canned-ham camper and the star of Sideshow Vintage Photo Booth Company. Named after the I Love Lucy star, she is as glamorous on the outside, as she is hilariously fun on the inside. Not only does she fit right in at weddings, she’s great at any other swanky event.”
“She’s also roomy! An entire wedding party can easily fit inside and you won’t find any boring paper props, either. Sideshow is all about giving wedding guests a truly unique experience. Although Lucille is a photo booth, a better modifier might be ‘portrait studio’. We capture the heart and the abstract quality of each person who sits down in Lucille. That’s when a photograph stops being a picture and transforms into art.”
How does Lucille work?
“Lucille is not an automated experience. She’s personal and customized to fit your special day! The bride and groom can either hand pick their props from our large selection or let us choose for them. On your big day, our attendants will be there to assist guests every step of the way. Instead of the traditional photo booth picture strips, we give each guest a 6X8 print to take home as their wedding favor. Digital images are made available on our website to download for free as well.”

Why should a couple rent a photo booth for their wedding?
“Photo booths offer a lot of bang for your buck! They provide entertainment for your wedding guests as well as a special gift they can take with them to remember your day. Plus, if you choose a company that offers digital copies in addition to prints, it serves as a visual guest book, too. There’s something really special about an album of all of your closest family and friends having a blast at your wedding.”
What is the best way for couples to personalize a photo booth for their big day?
“Start by choosing a photo booth that fits your personality. Think to yourselves: Are we more traditional or unique? Do we prefer vintage or modern? Then choose props that fits your theme and that your guests will have fun with.”
“Make sure your photo booth rental has options to include your names and wedding date on each of the prints. Adding a logo or text on them are a great way to personalize your guests’ keepsakes.”

Do you have any advice on incorporating a photo booth into a wedding reception?
“It’s great if you can position the photo booth adjacent to the dance floor, but this isn’t always an option at event venues. If there is only room for it in a hallway or outside the venue, make sure you have plenty of directional signs indicating how to find it. Ask the band, DJ, or whoever oversees making announcements to explain where the photo booth is located, announce when it opens, and give your guests warning before it closes.”
“Most guests love taking photos, especially if they’re not too keen on dancing. But those who are reluctant usually are persuaded if they see other people trying it out first. Lucille has a TV monitor outside so people can see what’s happening live inside the photo booth. It’s just another way to create entertainment for your guests and encourage them to take a turn!”
Do you have any advice for couples shopping for a photo booth rental?
“Not all photo booths are created equal! Make sure you are comparing apples to apples when you look at pricing. Make sure to ask the following: Can they set up without disturbing the ceremony? How long will they be there? How many attendants will there be to interact with guests? What do the prints look like? Can they include your names on the prints? Are digital copies included? Can guests easily access the digital copies? Are the props customizable?”
“Decide what your priorities are for your photo booth and remember that the lowest price doesn’t necessarily equal the best experience. Ask for a contract that details exactly what you are getting when you put down your deposit. Don’t forget to ask for references because a rude attendant can ruin your reception for your guests!”

Any fun photo booth tips that you can share with us?
“If your grandparents or other special older relatives are attending your wedding, try to set aside time to take a photo with them in the booth. It makes for a funny, sweet memory.”

Photographer Pepper Nix reveals Utah’s most opulent and jaw-dropping ceremony and reception centers.
After the big yes, it’s time to decide on the big where. Fortunately, Utah has many different venues—from sleek contemporary structures to rustic ranches and everything in between. But how to choose? Industry insider and photographer Pepper Nix offers a behind-the-scenes look at her favorite venues, along with expert tips and tricks for each site.

GRAND AMERICA
Take a look at SLC’s downtown skyline and one hotel stands out: Grand America. “The Grand” houses regal courtyards, elegant ballrooms, Italian crystal chandeliers and rich tapestries. There’s nowhere else like it in Utah,” Nix explains. “It’s so easy to marry here. You and your bridesmaids can get ready in a spacious two-room suite with floor-to-ceiling window light. One room houses your squad and the makeup artists, while the other room performs as the bridal closet. I have enough room to shoot the ‘getting ready’ shots, while the bridesmaids drink mimosas, feast on The Grand’s gourmet cuisine and bond during hair-and-makeup time.”
The Grand suits couples who love formality. In terms of photo opportunities, Nix says, “It has a very indoor studio feel with multiple backdrops, traditional furnishings and tons of gorgeous directional light.” Wintertime holiday lights and summertime formal gardens enhance stylish weddings.

CUSHING’S CABIN
and EMPIRE CANYON LODGE
Deer Valley’s legend runs as deep as its roots in mining. With over 2,000 acres to choose from in Ski Magazine’s 2018 #1 ski resort, what is Nix’s preferred ceremony spot? “By far, my favorite ceremony location in Deer Valley is Cushing’s Cabin,” she says.“The view to the west overlooking Guardsman’s Pass is breathtaking, plus the west-facing ceremony site means that the chairlift ride to Flagstaff Mountain at 9,100 feet will win over your guests. After the ceremony, you ride back down and have a fabulous reception at Empire Canyon Lodge.” Winter brides at Deer Valley also can enjoy sleigh rides and Deer Valley’s famous Fireside Dining menu.

ST. REGIS
This mountain contemporary resort is synonymous with comfortable luxury. With large ballrooms, spacious patios and mountain views in every direction, couples have many options. Nix’s favorite spot? “A west-facing ceremony on the Mountain Lawn provides the perfect background for your pictures. The St. Regis also has an excellent flow for your guests: the ceremony on the Mountain Lawn, cocktail hour on the Mountain Terrace (with a traditional Champagne sabering performance by the wait staff), followed by an outdoor reception on the Astor Terrace. The Astor Terrace is large enough that you can tent it and still provide your guests views of the mountains well after the sun has gone down.” The funicular ride and celebrity sightings—Elvis Costello, Tori Spelling and Kim Kardashian—add to the sensational experience from dawn to dusk and beyond.
STEIN ERIKSEN LODGE
Overlooking Bald Mountain at Deer Valley Resort, Stein Eriksen Lodge [named after the famed Olympic medalist and Utah’s favorite adopted Norwegian, Stein Eriksen] is known throughout the world for its attention to detail and world-class service. Nix’s favorite ceremony location? “You guessed it,” she says. “The west-facing Flagstaff Deck at Stein Eriksen photographs perfectly. From there, your guests walk along a flower-lined pathway to the new Stein Eriksen ballroom with an entire wall of windows that faces west, so, during dinner, your guests can enjoy the sunset.” Celebrity sightings include Conan O’Brien, Earth Wind and Fire and Summit County resident Katherine Heigl.

MONTAGE
As one of Deer Valley’s newest mountain resort venues, Montage flaunts ski-in, ski-out access, the largest spa in Utah and five—yes, five—dining options, including a pub with its own bowling alley (ideal for a late night after party). Nix’s favorite ceremony hub at Montage is the Grand Lawn overlooking Park City that centers around a fire pit. If a ballroom isn’t your thing, a reception inside the Vista Lounge restaurant offers cozy furnishings, high ceilings and roaring fireplaces. “The custom chandeliers were designed to make it feel homey and cozy, which is incredible considering the 20-foot ceilings,” Nix says. Celebrity sightings include Justin Bieber and Mitt Romney.

LOG HAVEN
Generations of Utah fine diners call Log Haven their go-to spot for celebrations. Surrounded by Millcreek Canyon’s wildflowers and waterfalls, this rustic-yet-refined log mansion has been honored by national news sources, including Forbes and USA Today. But what hits home for the local crowd is Log Haven’s induction into Salt Lake magazine’s 2017 Hall of Fame. “It’s only 15 minutes from downtown,” Nix explains. “I adore the images I capture of the west-facing meadow overlooking the pond. It has incredible light, ducks in the pond and picturesque pathways leading to the ceremony.”
LA CAILLE
The French restaurant nestled at the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon is the perfect marriage of savory food and botanical delight. The in-the-know photographer’s fave spot for a ceremony at La Caille is on the lush green lawn next to the vineyard. “La Caille has the best view of Little Cottonwood, and the east-facing ceremony overlooking the canyon is a pretty spectacular backdrop for your photos.” From the vineyard ceremony, guests walk to an upper patio for cocktail hour to enjoy passed hors d’oeuvres in the shade of magnificent trees, all the while enveloped in the canyon’s magnificent views. La Caille’s Grand Pavilion is the stage for a grand reception celebration. “The grounds are so extensive and varied that I could shoot here for 12 hours straight and not shoot the same thing twice. Plan on extra time for portraits in all the locales.”

BLUE SKY RANCH
As I-80 West winds beyond the Park City turnoff, one may think they’re driving into unknown wilderness. The hamlet of Wanship—15 minutes east of Kimball Junction—hides a 3,500-acre wooded paradise with lodging, barns, a whiskey distillery and dramatic landscapes. Blue Sky Ranch is a western-inspired getaway for the cowboy, yogi, fly fisherman, equestrian or sports shooter. Nix says, “Yet again, I gravitate to the west-facing ceremony site on their outside patio. What I love about Blue Sky is how the inside of the barn is authentic and Western. I love the rustic hardwood floor and the rope chandeliers. It’s on private land so the band can, and does, play until midnight. They only do one event per weekend, so it is very exclusive. You can do anything here from black tie to mountain chic to cowboy casual.”
You finally check “Find downtown SLC venue” off your wedding checklist. But, wait. Before relief sinks in, you think, “Where will our guests stay? Where can we meet up for cocktails? What’s hip and close to the center of downtown?” Don’t panic. Utah’s newest hotel—AC Hotel Salt Lake—has your wedding party covered.
Sure, it’s a big-business hotel chain, but this Marriott brand— founded by Spanish hotelier Antonio Catalan—provides the weekend warrior boutique offerings. The hotel flaunts local cuisine, minimal design, and walkable access to downtown culture. Located on the corner of 2nd & 2nd (225 West 200 South) downtown, AC Hotel’s 164 guest rooms are in the center of the city’s expanding art district.
“AC Hotels complements the spirit and culture of downtown Salt Lake City by providing a chic experience, exceptional beverage and food offerings, local art and culture, and a comfortable working and gathering space,” says AC Hotel Salt Lake‘s general manager Jared Steere. “This grand opening gives us the opportunity to take a moment and celebrate the culmination of the hard work and dedication of so many people who have helped breathe life into this beautiful hotel.”

Well, cocktails—paying homage to Robert Redford, Butch Cassidy, Thelma & Louise, Dumb & Dumber and The Sandlot—lure out-of-town partygoers into Utah movie history. To boot, the AC bar is happy to create custom cocktails for any engaged couple. The bar also serves up local distilleries like Five Wives and High West, alongside local cuisine from Creminelli and Caputos. Our team happily tasted crafted blends of their signature AC Hotel Gin & Tonic, Smoked Manhattan and Espresso Martini.
Utah’s inspiration doesn’t stop at the bar.
The design is flocked with Beehive State symbolism. Downtown street grids inspire the artwork, our Great Lake’s salt influences a white-and-black color palette, and our state flag sparks a beeswax wall form behind the check-in counter.
We Utahns are famous for a sweet tooth. The state’s refined taste for sugar has made national celebrities of bakers—Sweet Tooth Fairy, One Sweet Slice and The Mighty Baker—all winners in various TV baking competitions, all from Utah. Utah’s party scene featured candy buffets before they were cool and is currently creating a soda fountain revolution.
Cavity jokes aside, wedding stylist Allison Baddley of Le Fete says candy is more than corn syrup and sugar. It’s a, dare we say, sweet inspiration for a wedding. “Wedding inspiration can come from anywhere. With
so much neutrality the past few years, wedding design is begging for color and pattern,” she says.
If you are ready to party with colors aplenty, Baddley and her photographer friend Heather Nan shed new light on wedding design with four sugary-sweet patterns—bold stripes, iridescent waves, geometric kaleidoscope and monochromatic color blocking.
Breton, ticking, jailbird, barcode or pin. No doubt, stripes make for a timeless trend. Today, pastel stripes get a fresh look with velvety chocolate and ivory hues like wedding stylist Alison Baddley with La Fête found in these old-fashioned coconut bars,cola rambos, lemon puffy pole marshmallows, and dark and milk chocolate malt ballsfrom Maison Confiserie et Boutique.
How to Design with Stripes: Don’t overdo it.
It’s easy to get obsessed with a trend, but you know what they say about too much of a good thing. Leave some white space within stripes for the eye to relax. Invitations above—flaunting a serif font printed on 100-percent cotton card stock—by Ink & Press Co.reveal that a pastel is far from passe when paired with nominal type to unveil a fresh look. “This is a modern, bold design highlighting minimal typeface balanced with vibrant-colored paper,” says owner Mikyla Marie Manu.
How to Design with Stripes: Shake it up.
Move over candy buffets—mix things up with an over-the-top shake station instead. “It’s all about the freakshakes right now,” says Cuisine Unlimited’s Derek Deitsch of these thick-layered milkshakes. “Along with our colorful ice cream sandwiches, these definitely make a statement.”
How to Design with Stripes: Color outside the lines.

As the groom, the spotlight on your wedding day also shines on you. But shopping for a great suit is no easy feat! Finding the perfect fit, color, and fabric is more difficult to achieve in a rental or off-the-rack suit. As a result, we’ve seen more grooms choosing to go custom.
But why should you go custom for your wedding day? Bespoke suits are an excellent way to get a perfect fit to highlight your best features. Since custom suits are made with quality materials, they’re a great long-term investment too.
Joshua Kamp, founder of JP Couture shares, “A typical groom is normally starting out in his career and doesn’t have a decent suit or a suit at all. A bespoke suit can double as a wedding suit and a suit that he can use for other important times in his life. If you are willing to pay for an off the rack suit and tailoring, you might as well get a quality custom suit that will last.”

When Joshua couldn’t find a great suit option for his sister’s wedding, he knew that custom was the way to go. But great custom suits in Utah were hard to come by and that’s when he began JP Couture.
With JP Couture, getting a custom suit is easier. Your personal clothier will come to your home or office. At your appointment, you’ll select fabrics and options to personalize your suit. After 4 weeks, you’ll have a fitting. Once it’s perfect, it’s all yours!
“With a personal clothier from JP Couture, you can go as personalized as you want. You can choose fabric to match your wedding day colors. You can also get your name and wedding date embroidered in the suit lining,” says Joshua.
“Our goal is to make someone’s special day less stressful. We have all types fabrics, colors, buttons, and styles for you to choose from. You’ll end up with a that showcases your unique style. And it won’t be cookie cutter at all!”

If you’re looking for something that you’ll wear over and over, a custom suit is the way to go. To learn more about getting your own JP Couture suit, find them on our vendor listing or check out their website.
I realize you have a Royal army of protocol directors, historical curators, celebrity wedding planners and, oh, a finger-waving Monarch “advising” you what a Royal Wedding is and is not, but we have some notes to consider, too. Want to impress the Queen? Here’s how we’d do it.
A Royal Wedding Gown
You’ve chosen your gown, but if you’re having second thoughts or need a second one, how about this foxy number? Assuming bare shoulders are a Royal faux pas, this Sareh Nouri (available in SLC via Bitsy Bridal) breathes the perfect balance of sexy and sophistication with peak-a-boo-lace long sleeves. Plus, a pleated ballgown in an ivory hue makes this frock as iconic as Grace Kelly and Kate Middleton.

A Royal Wedding Bouquet
Sure, a white bouquet is all the rage for a Royal Wedding, but dearest Meghan, you’re Hollywood icon. I think you can ditch the stephanotis and Lily of the Valley this time around. May we suggest a pretty pastel bouquet made with springtime favorites? Our favorites include foxgloves, astilbe, ranunculus, peonies, Distant Drum shrub roses, cottage yarrow, blueberries, Sally Holmes heirloom roses, heucherella and spirea foliage.

A Royal Wedding Updo
Again, Meghan, you need to go for iconic with a twist. Literally, a twist. The classic chignon never gets old, but this one—with added loops and fresh blooms—flaunts a little more personality.

A Royal Wedding Signature Cocktail
A wedding isn’t a wedding without a Champagne toast. The Royal Wedding is sure to have sparkling wine pouring through the high-brow crowd. But a 2018 wedding isn’t a wedding without one—or even two or three—signature cocktails. Since springtime is all about new life and sunshine, we’re toasting the season with a refreshing lavender and cucumber vodka spritzer. Why not give it a try?

A Royal Wedding Groom’s Cake
The groom’s cake certainly plays in the shadows of the main attraction (we hear you’ve chosen a lemon elderflower pastry), but that doesn’t mean it goes unnoticed. The groom’s second-fiddle status welcomes carte-blanche creativity. Infuse Prince Harry’s dessert with British flare like executive chef Steve Ulibarri of Cuisine Unlimited did here. He transforms a Pimm’s cocktail into a liqueur-spiked vanilla cake layered with cucumber, strawberry and mint buttercream, frosted with orange buttercream and garnished with fresh cucumber, strawberry, orange and mint.

Jeremy Ranch Golf & Country Club is one of Park City’s secret gems. Only fifteen minutes up Parleys Canyon from the foothills in Salt Lake City, they are the closest Park City venue to SLC. Our editorial team here at Utah Bride & Groom sat down with Jeremy Ranch’s Angela Livingston to talk about what makes their venue unique and ways to incorporate landscape in a wedding, here’s what she had to say.

What makes Jeremy Ranch different from other wedding venues in Utah?
“One of the special things about Jeremy Ranch Golf & Country Club is the landscape. Unlike any other Park City venue, our clubhouse surrounded by a stunning golf course with expansive views of East Canyon.”
As a premier golf course and country club, do you host weddings year-round?
“Even with golf tournaments and club-exclusive events, we do host weddings year-round! Our large indoor and outdoor spaces make it easy to accommodate the changing seasons for any wedding.”

What’s your best advice for brides trying to incorporate a venue’s natural beauty in their wedding?
“The mountains in Utah are a great bonus to any outdoor wedding. Using the correct lighting and minimalist décor sets the tone and makes the space more inviting. The beautiful scenery should not take away from your big day. In fact, it should add to it.”
What is your best advice for couples who are venue shopping?
“Know your budget and limitations of the venue before you say yes. Also, always be flexible with outside space and weather. Your venue should help you with a plan B just in case weather isn’t on your side.”
