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.

Choosing a Color Scheme for your Fall Wedding

Fall is the perfect time of the year to plan a wedding. The air smells clean and new and the weather is usual perfect. Fall is also just around the corner so if you are planning a fall wedding then you should be thinking about what color schemes would be the best for your special day.

Planning a fall wedding allows you to choose from many different color options. Of course you have red, orange and yellow but there is so much more out there. The colors copper and bronze are a couple of my favorites and either color can really add some drama to any color scheme. Use cooper, bronze or gold accents to really bring the feeling of warmth and richness to your wedding.

Don’t be afraid to think outside the box. I also think purple is a great fall wedding color and it is becoming very popular. You can accent the color purple with other deeper or lighter shades of purple, or you can also use reds, browns and greens. The color combinations are endless and using deeper shades will give your wedding a wonderful sense of the fall.

Another fun color scheme for fall would be green. Green is actually my favorite color. There are some many color options when you are considering green. For fall a beautiful sage green would complement most any other color. I like the sage green with brown, burgundy and copper. You can also use darker shades of yellow to compliment a green wedding.

Last but certainly not least is the color orange. The color orange is vibrant and bright and will add a sense of fun a whimsy to any wedding. You can complement orange with red, brown, green or gold but my favorite trend is adding blue and turquoise to the wedding color pallet. This is definitely a fall wedding theme but with much more fun and pizzazz.

Whatever color options you decide on for your fall wedding, make sure it suits your taste and style. Have fun with it and make it your own. Good Luck.
