It’s no secret that the world of weddings is nothing short of vibrant and magical. Weddings bring together the beauty of tradition, the promise of new beginnings, and the absolute joy of two lives unifying. Each detail, from the flowers to the music, the vows to the venue, contributes to the beauty of a wedding day. But it takes more than just talent to create weddings engaged couples dream of—it takes community.
It’s true! Behind every unforgettable wedding is a talented network of wedding vendors who work tirelessly to make it all come together.
And our motivation and intent at The Wedding Collective is to cultivate just that—a community of visionaries, artists, and wedding professionals committed to making dreams come true. These creative minds are the true heartbeat of the industry in Colorado and New Mexico. So, naturally, we wake up every day feeling blessed to have the best of the best!
That’s why we’ve officially launched our 2024 Community Influencers program, making up a group of talented and dedicated wedding professionals who are not only the best in their fields, but have a pulse of the wedding industry. They each help us expand our network by referring other talented vendors who deserve to shine and get connected with engaged couples throughout the Southwest.
They are tastemakers, connectors, and visionaries who know what’s hot, who’s up-and-coming, and which veterans continue to elevate weddings in Colorado and New Mexico! And we are absolutely thrilled to feature them as part of our ongoing efforts to build a community of exceptional talent, making it easier for engaged couples to find the best in the business.
