What is your favorite memory with Debby or The Branch?

Overall, I love working with Debby because she is always so positive and full of energy. She’s not afraid to be silly or be a straight shooter, and she always make me laugh. Her flowers are always so beautiful, especially the bouquets! Probably my favorite event we have done together was a recent one where we incorporated these grand cherry blossom blooming branches into all of the event design, to include suspending them from the ceiling. It was so beautiful!

One of the amazing things about working at The Branch is getting to work with some pretty awesome people. One of those people being event planner, Kimberly Rhodes. Get to know this amazing lady and see some of the designs we’ve done with Hitched Events!

What is your favorite memory with Debby, or The Branch?
I have SO MANY great stories about The Branch, but I’ll never forget one of my very first weddings working with Debby. We had worked together on the design of this awesome ceremony structure topped with candles and thick piles of rose petals at the bottom. It was awesome! Just before the Branching Out team arrived with their mass amounts of candles to adorn the top of the structure, the venue’s fire safety officer (who knew this was even a job?!) told me that we couldn’t use the candles at the top of the structure after all. I made a panicked call to Debby, and she swapped out all the real candles with LEDs in a matter of minutes, saving the design (and the day)! Truly, what I love about the Branching Out team is that we always have each other’s back. At the end of the day, it’s a team effort and we’re all in it together! The Branching Out team shares my philosophy about that, which is just one of the reasons we love working with them! [Read more…]

Starting off as The Branch’s first intern back in 2009, Amanda Ferguson is now our amazing Finance Manager. She has been involved in every aspect of the business, from installation to design. From time to time, we love to bring her in for her stunning handwork. She is the momma to an adorable baby boy, Wyatt, and loves traveling the world with her husband. Amanda’s southwestern-style outdoor wedding was definitely one of Debby’s most memorable designs with it’s unique and gorgeous details. It is also one of the top five most viewed weddings on the D Weddings blog! You can check it out here.

Favorite Class from the University of Colorado?

Colorado History, Ecology and Environment. It was once a week, in my residence hall, and there were only about 12 people in the class. We took a field trip every week, including hiking trips, touring gold mines, and driving through ghost towns. Basically, I was getting a history credit to hang out in a beautiful place.

Favorite Part of The Branch?

The high energy and creativity!

Team Max or Team Hilde?

Team Max- because he might have been the cutest puppy ever

Favorite memory at The Branch?

One of the first wedding installs I did with Debby at The Warwick Melrose, 2009 maybe? Debby was dancing around singing to “I Gotta Feeling” by the Black Eyed Peas. Also, that’s when I learned to despise glue dots. I also vividly remember working out of Debby’s house while she played a Gwen Stefani album over and over again. Debby+music= happiness. Haha!

What do you do for fun?

I really like to be outside. Camping, hiking, skiing, backpacking, etc. I also enjoy baking. Sleep, when I can get it, is glorious. I just started watching/reading Game of Thrones and I am kind of hooked.

Here is Debby’s Saint Bernard, Max, as a puppy. He’s seriously the cutest!

Staff Spotlight: Ayde

08.18.15

Here at The Branch, we pride ourselves on positive attitudes and contagious personalities. There was no exception when it came to hiring one of our amazing production assistants, Ayde. She is such a hard worker, and being greeted by her bright smile everyday is such a joy. She is a true believer that if you maintain a positive mind, great things will come your way, which couldn’t be more true. She always goes above and beyond, and we couldn’t be happier to have her. She’s a mother to an adorable 9 year-old, Moises, and wife to her high school sweetheart, Gregorio.

Favorite part of being at The Branch?
It has to be when Debby comes in every morning and greets you with her beautiful spirit and beautiful smile. It really makes the branch bright.

Team Max or Team Hilde?
Aww I like them both, but sorry max …I’m Team Hilde! It’s so funny when she plays tug-o-war with me and the broom!
