Carlee & Jeremy’s Fun-Filled Zion Wedding

There is something undeniably beautiful about the arid charm of Zion’s vibrant land. The only thing we can think of that could make it more beautiful is a picture-perfect wedding surrounded by family and friends.

Keep scrolling to see Carlee & Jeremy’s fun-filled and picture-perfect Zion wedding.

Getting Ready…

For her gown, Carlee opted for a classic silhouette with intricate floral detailing by Love and Lace Bridal Salon.

First Look…

The red rocks provide a starkly perfect contrast against the crisp white of the Carlee’s gown and the Jeremy’s black suit by Friar Tux.

“I Do”…

The pair said “I do” in the middle of nowhere surrounded by family and friends against sunset-colored mountains and an endless desert sky.

Afterparty…

Warm, rust-colored shades and hues bring the Zion sunset to life in this intimate reception setup. And, guests dined al fresco which allowed for stargazing when day turned to night.

Details…

The desert-themed decor all came together with the florals by Blooms by Brooklyn. The protea offers organic romance while the pampas grass and desert cattails provide a rugged twist.

Fall-Inspired Flower Crown

Fall is full of gorgeous colors—yellows, reds and oranges. The perfect fall-inspired flower crown is inspired by autumn and jewel-colored florals. Think: windswept hair, a bold lip and falling orange leaves.

Boho Chic Wedding Inspiration

The warm, organic lines and colors in the red rocks offer the perfect contrast for the intricate lace detailing on the Raw + Golden gown. Then–because boho wedding inspiration is about more than just the perfect dress–Wild Escape Florals offers a pop of color in the form of jewel-toned florals. 

The looks are topped off with contrasting notes. For the bride, a messy slicked back bun is paired with a crystal headband. And for the groom, a black ribbon fashioned as a modern, chic bolo tie provides a stark departure from the crisp, white shirt.

Pro-tip on colorways: Note the light blue and gold colors on the groom’s watch brought out by the matching tones in the landscape.

Woodland Wedding Inspiration

More and more couples are saying “I do” to getting married in the wilderness in lieu of traditional venues. The key to nailing a forest setting as the backdrop to your bridals or nuptials is enhancing the natural beauty of your surroundings–as captured here by Kayla Swayze–while adding pops of color or texture that provide contrast.

Kendall, of The Foxy Flora, provided a surprising pop of color in the form of a bright coral bouquet against the neutral, organic tones in the OffWhite Bride gown.

Lady in Red

While many of us think of white when it comes to wedding dresses, red has been the color of choice for centuries. Red tones from scarlet to vermilion can pack a punch on your wedding day and are known across the world for bringing good luck and happiness–two things we are all looking for on our big day.

This shoot by Olive Avenue Photography offers tips on creating monochromatic magic on your wedding day.

Golden Hour Bridal Inspiration 

The Location…
Tunnel Springs Park

“The slight rolling of the hills creates an undeniable dimension and depth against the wide open sky,” says photographer, Angela Marie. “When the sun hits it just right, you can even spot subtle reflections of The Great Salt Lake from certain angles! All these natural elements come together to create a truly majestic location that promotes freedom and bliss.”

The Dress…


This romantic two-piece gown by Betsy Couture is comprised of the “The Ruby” top–which boasts intricate lace detailing–and the “The Juliet” skirt–which features billowy, organic lines. The look is completed with a long tulle veil and a Lizzy Slip to bring it all together.


The Flowers…


The neutral, blush-toned bouquet by Wish Blossom Flowers brings in elements of charm and femininity. “We wanted understated florals that would make a statement while enhancing the beauty of everything around them,” says Angela Marie. “With soft hues of pink and muted green, the tones of each flower provide a gorgeous balance of bold and elegant. The ribbons complete the look by flowing freely in the breeze with a graceful romance.”

Ode to the Past…


“Not only does this styled shoot celebrate freedom, but it also pays tribute to what might have come before that feeling. We chose to feature brilliant vintage earrings as an ode to the past. They symbolize that we must honor the past in order to fully enjoy the present, and they also bestow timelessness upon the bride. The rustic book symbolizes the bride’s story–the one she has already lived and the one she is currently creating. Every bride has a unique story that led her to where she is today, and she will feel completely free only once she accepts every chapter.”

Bright and Moody Bridal Inspiration

Photos by: Kate Osborne Photography

The Gatherist’s design in this stylized shoot is a lesson in push-and-pull from top to bottom.

Ember’s floor-to-ceiling windows–paned in iron–provide bright, natural light and create shadows along the concrete floor that photographer, Kate Osborne uses to create depth. And, the simplicity of the space compliments the classic silhouette of the Jann Marie Bridal shift gown.

Finally, to top it all off, flowers by Soil + Stem provide an all-but-anticipated pop of color.

The bottom line: moody doesn’t always mean dark and simple doesn’t have to be boring.

Moody Fall Inspiration

Photos by: Meagan Woods Photography

Every season has its merits; spring has flowers blooming, summer has long days by the pool and winter, here in Utah, has what we like to call “the best snow on earth.” But, there’s just something special about fall. From the leaves changing colors to the crisp autumn air, I’ve always felt like fall breathes romance back into the air after the hot summer months.

Which is why autumn is the perfect season for romantic shots in moody tones, and Meagan Woods is here to show us how it’s done.

The orange and peach tones in the floral design by Lennox Flora pair perfectly with the rust color of the Kenneth Boggs worn by Mr. Boggs, himself.

The intricate and surprising textures in Mrs. Boggs’ boho-inspired Reclamation Design Company gown add depth to the dress’ classic, vintage silhouette.
