We couldn't get enough of the dried flowers, the burnt orange and earthy tones color palette, and the romantic candlelit dinner. What truly resonated with us was the intentional intimate aspect of the day — keeping guest count under 40 people by choosing to invite their closest family and friends. Intimate micro weddings and elopements in the mountains of Colorado are our specialty. To experience more moments from Loren and Nelson’s day, scroll through below!
Why Steamboat Springs is Perfect for Fall Micro Weddings
Steamboat Springs offers some of Colorado's most spectacular fall colors and intimate wedding venues, making it an ideal destination for boho micro weddings during peak autumn season. What sets Steamboat apart from other Colorado mountain towns is its incredible variety of landscapes – from rolling hills covered in golden aspens to dramatic mountain backdrops and charming ranch-style venues that perfectly complement the boho aesthetic. The area's elevation and diverse terrain mean fall colors last longer here, typically from mid-September through early October, giving couples more flexibility in planning their autumn celebration. Plus, Steamboat's laid-back, authentic mountain town vibe aligns perfectly with the relaxed, intimate energy that makes micro weddings so special. The combination of luxury mountain venues, stunning fall scenery, and that genuine Colorado charm creates the perfect setting for couples wanting a celebration that feels both elevated and authentically mountain.
Planning Your Boho Fall Wedding in Colorado
Fall weddings in Colorado require thoughtful timing and planning to capture the peak autumn colors and comfortable weather that make the season so magical. The key to a successful boho fall micro wedding is embracing the natural beauty of the season while incorporating design elements that complement rather than compete with Colorado's spectacular autumn landscape. Think earthy color palettes with burnt oranges, deep reds, and golden yellows that echo the changing aspen leaves. Dried florals and natural textures work beautifully against mountain backdrops, while candlelit celebrations create that intimate, romantic atmosphere that boho weddings are known for. Weather considerations are important too – fall days can be warm and sunny while evenings get chilly quickly, so having both outdoor ceremony options and cozy indoor celebration spaces ensures your micro wedding flows perfectly regardless of mountain weather patterns.

The venue's intimate scale means every detail feels intentional and personal, creating that authentic, relaxed atmosphere that makes micro weddings so meaningful for couples and their closest loved ones.
Loren thought through every element of their special day — from the handcrafted ceremony arch built by Nelson, to the private exchange of handwritten vows, and even down to the hand-selected components of the tablescapes. The inclusion of candles and amber goblets complemented the natural surroundings with their earthy tones. Their wedding day unfolded on a perfect October afternoon — warm sunshine, golden leaves, lots of happy tears, surrounded by love.
