Telluride Wedding Information
Deep in the heart of the San Juan Wilderness rests the town of Telluride, Colorado. With it’s jagged peaks and wildflower soaked mountains, this town plays the perfect host for mountain weddings. One of the most inspirational things is to witness first hand the beauty of the Bridal Veil Falls while celebrating your own mountain wedding. Bridal Veil Falls is a spectacular waterfall located just outside of the town of Telluride. This 385 foot waterfall is the perfect backdrop to wedding ceremonies. Read more about planning your spectacular Telluride CO wedding.
When planning a mountain wedding it is first important to select the ideal accommodations and lodging for your guests. Some guests have varying budgets, so it is important to factor in cost associated with your hotel or condo rental. Hotels in Telluride range from lavish 5 star amenities to economy minded travelers. An advantage to booking a hotel in Telluride or Mountain Village is that your wedding party will be at the same location which provides easy access to all persons involved with the ceremony and reception.
Telluride condo rentals are also a popular option for guests who want the spaciousness of a 1-4 bedroom unit. Many of the condominium complexes in both Telluride and Mountain Village will accommodate group bookings. In order to block out enough room for your celebration, it is advisable to look at least a year in advance.
Once you have the wedding lodging sorted out, it is now time to find the perfect venue for your big day. Some venues in Telluride accommodate indoor and outdoor ceremonies which, in case of bad weather, is a great thing. Telluride receives 300+ days of sunshine, but inclement weather can roll through the mountains at anytime. In case of this, your indoor outdoor wedding venue will be a wedding saver!
Here are some options for wedding venues in Telluride, Colorado. These locations provide you with many opportunities to express your sense of style and personality.

Gorrono Ranch is a spectacular location for a wedding celebration. The Gorrono Ranch is named after the family that built the ranch which was established in the 1800’s as a sheep farm. Recently renovated, Gorrono serves as the Telluride Ski Resort’s mid-mountain ski lodge. During the winter months the ranch is open to the public, but in the evenings it becomes a private mountain seclusion where events of all sizes bask in its rustic elegance. Wedding parties are whisked up the mountain in a snowcat-drawn sleigh with the San Juan Mountains awing your friends and family. During the summer months Gorrono has multiple decks used as the wedding ceremony site. Guests are taken to the location via a shuttle.

How much should I spend on the wedding gift? All things considered?
A friend from college who I had grown rather distant with asked me to be in her wedding. I didn’t have the heart to say no, so I agreed. It’s strange because we never talk, aside from when there are wedding updates.
I spent roughly $45 on the present for the engagement party, and will be spending approximately $240 on the bridesmaid dress. The bachelorette party is coming to $150. I am in my early twenties and, while I’m employed and making money, I also have to budget in order to pay bills, buy groceries, etc.
I am wondering two things:
how much money I should be spending on the bridal shower? (I was thinking of spending $50)
and-
How much money should I be spending for the wedding gift? (my boyfriend is attending as my date and, considering the other expenses and the fact that we aren’t close to the couple, I thought $150 was reasonable).
Please let me know your thoughts and/or past experiences. Thanks in advance!
You should only get what you can afford *without* incurring debt.
If it’s going to be monetary, make sure you write a check. Cash has a mysterious way of getting separated from the wedding card.
