Ride or Die: Moody Wedding Inspiration at Joshua Tree

Share

Loving couple in red dress outdoors embrace each other

We can’t stop gushing over this insanely badass desert elopement at Joshua Tree in California. Seven Stem Floral Design & Events put together this shoot with an amazing team of talents and Lovers of Love behind the lens to capture all the dreamy inspiration as it unfolded.

Moody tones, rich textures, and a gorgeous venue, Serenity Escape in Joshua Tree take this shoot to the next level. But our current obsessions are the bride’s deep marsala dress from Tara LaTour + her custom leather jacket, and how about that sexy bike? We’d ride off into the sunset on Harley Davidson any day. Catch all the highlights & budget breakdown below, and peep a closer look in the full gallery for more must-see moments.

Ride or Die 

From Seven Stems Floral Design & Events: Full of texture, rich tones, moody gown, and modern attire. Our Bride is in a deep marsala Tara Latour gown accented with timeless rose gold accessories topped off with white booties and custom jacket. Our silver fox groom is keeping his edge in all black. Cruising on a custom Harley without a care in the world. Together these lovers are breaking the rules and riding into the sunset.
