When most people think of wedding décor, their minds automatically jump to elaborate floral arrangements, dramatic draperies and swags, and layers upon layers of glitz and glamour. But for many couples, that explosion of opulence just doesn't feel authentic to who they are.

You've nailed the venue (us!), picked the perfect menu, and found the one song that will get everyone dancing. Amazing! But let's be honest: planning all those wedding or event details means tackling a few logistics puzzles, and chief among them is making sure your favorite people can actually get to our beautiful Colorado ranch without any hiccups.

Here’s a guide to hosting the ultimate after-wedding bash, from how to plan one to exciting ideas.
