    Space for Your Bridal Party

    Your bridal party will be by your side throughout the preparation process, so the suite should comfortably accommodate everyone. Look for:

    • Enough Seating: Chairs, couches, and maybe even a vanity area for everyone.

    • Storage Space: Plenty of room to store dresses, accessories, and personal items without cluttering the space.

    • Changing Areas: Separate or partitioned areas for changing into dresses to maintain privacy and organization.Lights- LED lights. Bright and perfect to get ready under.

  4. Restroom access: Ideally, the restrooms are in the bridal suite for easy access. At Anter Ridge you will have access to two bathrooms complete with showers, toilets and sink area.

  5. Photo Opportunities

    The bridal suite is where many candid and emotional moments occur. The Bridal suite at Antler Ridge is a 3 bdrm cozy cottage. What is more fun than having that" last girl friend night" where Memories will be Made.

  6. Consider:

    • Decor and Ambiance: Elegant decor that matches the overall theme of your wedding.

    • Good Lighting: Both natural and artificial lighting that flatters everyone.

    • Scenic Views: If possible, a suite with a view can add a stunning backdrop to your photos. Antler Ridge has some of the best scenic views on the Western Slope including mountain views, city lights and the best sunsets ! We have you covered.

  9. Photo ops- The full length mirror, corner chair, wedding dress hanging spot, your photographer will have plenty of places to capture you getting ready!

  10. Light Snacks and Beverages

    It's a long day before the reception begins. So Light Snacks and Beverages are important so keep your wedding party fueled with an array of Granola bars, small sandwhiches and chips. At Antler Ridge ,the Bridal Suite has a bar in the kitchen area that is perfect for a large Charcuterie Board of Cheeses, Meats, veggies, and crackers to snack on through out the day. We can not stress enough about how important it is to stay hydrated. So water should be available at all times. Tip of the day: Dark beverages, such as wine will stain so we suggest....... if you want to consider an alc0holic drink.Think white wine or a sparkling champagne.


    We know the importance of having a comfortable space to be with your crew of ladies, your mom, your family and your loved ones during such a special time. Antler Ridge weddings makes it easy with all the comforts and the close proximity to the ceremony site and barn. No need to jump in a vehicle to drive to the location and add stress to your day. Breathe deep and know you are exactly where you need to be, with who you need surrounding you and about to marry the exact man for you. You got this, and we got you!
