BRAND & history
We’re Aspen & Ivory.
Always have been, always will be.
Much like the foundation of each of our events, Aspen & Ivory started first with an intention. Our story began with equal parts passion, frustration, innovation and dedication. And with that fire in our bellies - we committed to one simple mission: We were out to master that luminal space “where the confluence of beyond-tradition and timeless harmoniously coexist”.
Next, came time to give a name. In the throws of 2020’s quarantine, we paced the halls of our tiny home as the walls seemed to come closer in on us… What could possibly capture the dichotomy in which we have discovered our life’s purpose?… At risk of sounding very… Colorado… it came to us in a dream after months’ of brain-wracking and whiteboard scribbling and “thoughts?”-ing the group chat…
Aspen, as an ode to the unrefined, not-for-the-weak-of-heart, notoriously-untamed Elk Range.
And Ivory, as a nod to a most-quintessential classic having stood the test of time for good reason.
….”It’s perfect”.
lovely to MEET YOU
Hi! I’m Kassi.
You may know me as the dreamer, do-er, and founder behind Aspen & Ivory, though my friends more likely know me as…
- The Pinterest-obsessed dinner party host;
- The Thai curry aficionado;
- The big sister energy in the girls’ bathroom;
- The relentless chaser of love stories, no matter where or when…
With a background in birth work, I’ve always had a calling towards supporting folks through the big transitional moments in life. Through a very ‘Marie Kondo’-esque twist of fate, I discovered just how much raw, unbridled, absolutely built-on-love joy is to be found in setting couples up for success on the initiating chapter of their lives in partnership. I set forth into the wild and wonderful world of weddings training as an apprentice with a award-winning wedding planner in my city, studying ‘til I went cross-eyed, and ohhh baby- how I soon found my calling.
In the seasons since, I have had the honor of serving the most profoundly loving couples in celebration, through which I have dedicated myself to the spirit of lifelong learning. I have earned the industry’s most prestigious certifications along the way, and fed into an all-out obsession with the art of a human-centric, industry-challenging, intention-based plan.
We’re the
whole package, too.
