Combining romance, fashion, emotion, and impeccable design, we wanted to curate a beautiful editorial that sparked the inspiration for the fashion-forward couple looking to elevate a modern minimal design. Showcasing how a couple can use organic elements to create something that feels both romantic and modern in a cohesive fashion. Not only is this inspiration for a wedding day, but an entire weekend experience where a couple can soak in the beauty of their love with weekend long experiences.

The venue, Le Chacuel, is nestled up against a sweeping desert valley. It was created by two women who put thoughtful design into every aspect of the home and wanted to highlight clean lines, bold modern style, and the art of minimalism. We were able to highlight different elements of this unique venue in the shoot, as well as the stunning backdrop of Joshua Tree.

Array Creative Design paired organic & romantic elements with modern, clean lines to create something effortlessly chic. The ceremony floral install by Intrepid Floral Co was to bring some fresh elements against the beautiful backdrop of Joshua Tree. The table scape was inspired by the unique architecture of the property and wanted to incorporate a new take on table top florals by adding in elements of grasses, soft white blooms, and all the texture. With creating new traditions of what a wedding day looks like, we wanted to highlight the beauty of a couple getting ready together after spending the morning enjoying the beauty of the space they would say I Do. This is to inspire those who want the perfect intimate wedding that has a refined feel with a side of sexy.
