THEIR STORY
BRIDE Emily Liff, 27, deputy legislative director for Mayor Michael B. Hancock
GROOM Chris Hauber, 28, a mortgage loan originator HOW THEY MET At
University of Colorado Boulder WEDDING STYLE A color palette of ivory
and champagne transitioned seamlessly from Emily and Chris’s outdoor fall
ceremony to their elegant ballroom reception. —MO
Although Chris is Catholic, it was important to Emily to have a somewhat
traditional Jewish ceremony, including being married by a rabbi under a
huppah (symbolized by the floral arch).
EMILY
&
CHRIS
Emily and Chris took advantage of the ballroom’s high ceilings with a mix of tall and short centerpieces. For the tall centerpieces, rounded arrangements
of white hydrangeas, garden roses and hanging tealights were set atop pillar stands covered with winding curly willow.

ACCOMMODATIONS The Ritz-Carlton,

A unique alternative to a traditional escort card display, guests found their names and table
assignments calligraphed on acrylic escort cards hanging from the ceiling on white satin ribbons. The
display was made into an arch, so guests could walk underneath it and cut down their names.
