![]() The Purple Book: A Guide to Colorado Springs Weddings and Receptions |
Your one stop shopping page for anything to do with your wedding.
We have the quality merchants and services you need to
provide you with everything you need for your wedding!
Highlights at wedding receptions are special mini-ceremonies that incorporate wedding-day
traditions from far away and long ago.
Highlights honor traditions that come to us from previous times through ethnic groups
of distant lands.
They acknowledge the beliefs people have had throughout history, or perhaps you have
now, about marriage, establishing a home, and starting a family.
They are like “seasonings” that add variety and interest to the reception for the
guests’ enjoyment.
“Traditional” highlights can be “updated” to blend nicely with contemporary ideas.
It is rather like taking an old, favorite family recipe and using surprise seasonings,
then serving it with a special contemporary flair!
