The Bride Katherine (Katie) Sutton, 25, a sales rep at Bard Access Systems The Groom Robert (Rob) Bronersky, 30, a systems specialist at Baxa Crop. The Date September 17 Katie and Rob mixed bold hues with a classic autumn color palette. The result? An assortment of burnt-orange, paprika, copper, brown and purple. It blended well with the indoor fall wonderland theme.

The nine bridesmaids chose from two styles of fun and flirty cocktail dresses. They picked their own shoes: classic black patent-leather peep-toe heels.
A barn with burnt-red planks and soaring ceilings set the scene for mingling and sipping cocktails.
The couple served up mint julep, blood-orange and red martinis as the specialty drinks of the night.
Gold and bronze leaves floated whimsically over the center table.
To keep with the fall theme, place cards were accented with metallic leaves.
Katie and Rob wanted a unique and classic song, so they chose These Are the Days by Van Morrison.
Katie ended up wearing cowboy boots for the ceremony. It was a last minute decision that just felt right, she says.
Elegant organza ruffling and a delicate flower detail on the back of Katie's gown added a fashionable surprise.
After an unexpected downpour of rain, the sun started to peek out once Katie reached the end of the aisle. Perfect timing!
The couple presented guests with solid-colored purple programs tied together with a ribbon and marked with a tiny cutout leaf.
The table linens were aubergine and pumpkin lamour. Twine-wrapped napkins added a rustic vibe.
In addition to the toast, martinis were poured down an ice sculpture shaped like a tree carved with the couple's initials.
The welcome sign and escort card display were designed to resemble a Kentucky Derby sign-a charming nod to the horse ranch venue.
Made up of fondant icing and sugar flowers, the four-tiered cake was designed to match the colors Katie and Rob were wearing. A crystal band replicated Katie's belt.
Bags of popcorn were shipped from Garrett's Popcorn in Chicago. Guests served themselves and picked from a variety of colorful bags and flavors.
Katie's white and pink bouquet was accented with burgundy coffee berries and wrapped in her grandmother's handkerchief.
Katie played with three festive themes and incorporated the same vibrant flowers in different styles and arrangements.
Rob's boutonniere contained white calla lilies with the same burgundy coffee berries that were in Katie's bouquet.
The bridesmaids carried unique arrangements of flowers, each representing the different stages of fall's leaves and changing colors.
A wooden pergola was decorated with moss and leaves, allowing Colorado's real beauty to shine through.
