Nelson Ghost Town Styled Wedding Inspiration Shoot

This southwestern styled wedding is kindly brought to us today by Creatrix Photography who captured the gritty yet romantic vision of the shoot flawlessly. Taking place near Las Vegas, Nevada, the historic Nelson Ghost Town provided a unique and breathtaking venue chock-full of antique buildings and rustic details.  Styled by the talented team at Archel Rolwing Events, the inspiration for this shoot was a bold color palette mixed with soft pastels, infused with a love for feathers and the natural, Nevada desert surroundings.  The result is this eclectic yet romantic shoot that leaves you wanting to run out and start decorating everything you own with feathers and turquoise! See for yourself...

The distressed turquoise table, braided leather detail, and feathers on this cake table lend a southwestern feel that tie flawlessly into the desert surroundings while the vibrant color palette and florals soften the look.  The striped straws and specialty desserts add whimsy and bring the overall table together.

Romantic Bohemian Styled Wedding in the Woods

Captured and brought to life by Cassandra Farley Photography in the hills of Utah, this romantic, bohemian styled wedding inspiration shoot is full of all things gilded, gold, and jewel toned.

This breathtaking love story begins in the woods of Utah who's earthy backdrop helped set the tone for a striking, boho styled shoot.  A dramatic color palette of teal blues, greens, orange, gold, and pink create a sense of passion and the cultural styling gives the shoot a well-traveled feel.  The elephant decorations and beaded tablecloth add to the beauty of the shoot also giving a distinctly cultural and diverse feel. We absolutely adore the mix of patterns which are paired flawlessly and seem almost effortlessly put together.  Huge kudos to Jacki Miller Photo + Design for their stationery suite which injects just the right amount geometric pattern into the shoot adding a southwestern vibe.

The bride's bouquet is a stunning mix of proteas flowers, peonies, and eucalyptus trailing foliage.  The florals and vibrant color palette tie seamlessly into the table centerpieces.

This stunning naked wedding cake is totally spot on.  Accented with just the right amount of florals and fruit, we think the blackberries and the rich chocolate color are the perfect choice for this dramatic wedding theme.

Traditional Mexican Themed Wedding in San Diego

Mexican weddings give true meaning to family, togetherness, and tradition.  When Christy and Jose's wedding graced our in-boxes, we were so taken with their vibrant and fantastic details.

Christy and Jose tied the knot at the romantic Saint Francis Chapel, owned by the Museum of Man in Balboa Park, CA. These two love family and wanted to focus on a traditional Mexican themed wedding.  They did not disappoint.  I mean, the live mariachi band at their ceremony is above and beyond fantastic.

Keeping with any traditional Mexican wedding, both the bride and groom's families helped tremendously with the wedding details.  Their reception was held at the Mission Bay Women's Club and the groom's family cooked all the food. Their vibrant heritage-inspired decor was the perfect backdrop for a fun and lively reception. Everything was done on a budget, and the couple and their families did such a great job in making their wedding vision come true.  A huge thank you to Brit Jaye Photography for sharing this beautiful wedding with us.  The day was definitely one filled with joy, family, love, and laughter.

Every aspect of the couple's wedding cake helped tie in their traditional theme.  From the hand crafted, Mexican cake topper figurines all the way down to the heirloom glass cake stand.

We adore Christy and Jose's unique seating arrangement idea that incorporated Mexican Loteria cards.  Such a great and unexpected addition! The vibrant, heritage infused styling of this wedding really pulled together the feeling of tradition, family, and commitment.
