Purple Desert Botanical Garden Wedding

Alexandra and Steven were married in beautiful Arizona at the Desert Botanical Gardens in a picturesque outdoor setting. Shades of rich purple, greens, and white naturally accented the gorgeous landscape, making this lovely ceremony and reception stunningly unique. 

From cacti details to exquisite floral arrangements, this desert wedding was perfect from start to finish. Many thanks to the talented Laura Segall Photography for sharing this breathtaking wedding with us. 

CEREMONY

---

The couple exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony within the gorgeous herb garden featuring a large sundial, unique backdrop, and beautiful floral accents. Programs matching the invitations were laid out for guests, and a laser-etched wood front guestbook was on display for guests to sign. A memorial table featured picture frames with photos of family members being remembered on this special day.

ATTIRE

---

The bride was stunning in her elegant fit-and-flare wedding dress featuring embroidered lace motifs dancing over tulle on both the body and sleeves of the gown. Classic black tuxes - complete with bowties - were donned by both the groom and his groomsmen. Off-the-shoulder floor-length dresses in a deep shade of purple were worn by the bridesmaids, tying in perfectly with their beautiful bouquets.

DECOR

---

Wooden tables were decorated with large floral arrangements, gold-rimmed glass chargers, custom printed place cards and menus, and purple cloth napkins. The cake was a three-tiered, buttercream-frosted beauty, adorned by more florals and a 'fly away with me' laser cut topper. Favors of prickly pear tea, packaged in small glass jars with custom printed labels were given to guests as a thank you for attending. The reception was nothing short of perfection against the backdrop of the cacti and other desert plants.

Desert Romance Styled Wedding Inspiration Shoot

This incredible stylized wedding inspiration shoot is set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Utah desert. Escape today's busy world for a bit with these stunning images captured and shared with us by the incredibly talented Nhiya Kaye Photography. Colton & Jessica (the gorgeous models) are married and their love for one another shines through every image with the bright sun as their spotlight. With a secluded location paired with modern and vintage accents, this shoot combines inviting tones of greens and pinks for an unmistakeably romantic vibe. 

The tablescape and leisure setting were DIY'ed by As Ever Photography and Nhiya Kaye Photography in a joint effort to create the perfect design and style for a one-of-a-kind wedding shoot. They opted to keep things simple and organic with a touch of vintage flair, perfectly befitting of the desert hills of Utah. From the fringed linen napkins to the handed down china set off by hand planted succulents, this team of talented vendors managed to combine an ambiance of classic romance, a little bit of heat, and a lot of heart into one amazing shoot.
