This fall wedding at The Little Nell in Aspen, Colorado was a two-day celebration thoughtfully planned and designed by Banks & Leaf. Taking place during peak autumn, the weekend highlighted the natural beauty of Aspen as the foliage shifted into rich hues of red, green, and orange. The planners worked closely with the couple to design a celebration that felt romantic, elevated, and inspired by the surrounding landscape.

During the recessional, a soft mist rolled across the ceremony space, hovering over the guests and adding a romantic, atmospheric layer to the moment.
Watching family and friends take in the views from the top of Aspen Mountain—experiencing shifting weather, clouds, and sunlight throughout the day—was a reminder of how immersive and meaningful an intimate Aspen mountain wedding can be, especially when the setting and season are fully embraced.
The first day of the wedding weekend included a private experience at Maroon Bells, one of Colorado’s most iconic mountain locations, followed by an intimate dinner that welcomed guests and set the tone for the celebration.
On the wedding day, guests traveled to the mountaintop at The Little Nell, overlooking Aspen and the surrounding mountains. The ceremony took place outdoors, with changing weather throughout the day that added to the atmosphere rather than detracting from it. Light rain moved in and out, clearing just in time for the ceremony.
