A Beautifully Informal Rustic New Age Wedding

Share

Outdoor wedding ceremony with rustic triangle arch

Love surrounds this whole wedding day of Ally and Andy. From the beautifully informal reception filled with a rustic new age vibe to the casual and candid getting ready photos captured by Dani Padgett Photography; the whole day felt unhurried with everyone perfectly at ease with their present company. We’d call it a cozy vibe.

Keep scrolling to slip further into this laid back day and as always, there is plenty more to see in our full gallery!

Adding A Touch of Magic

When you have a bride and groom that are blooming with creativity and style and a love for the natural world you might get an event as unforgettable as Ally and Andy’s Wedding. At the end of the Summer Season and fresh from Burning Man, this special couple put together their wedding with a touch of DIY, New Age Magic with a Sierra Nevada backdrop. 

The Wedding Style

With a traditional schedule for the day, no detail went untouched by the bride and groom’s personal style. From the groom’s skater vibes (Vans slip-on shoes and Levis) to gorgeous crystal and geode centerpieces, a handcrafted backdrop, Ally’s PS Kaufman boots and a smashing amount of turquoise jewelry, this wedding was dripping personal style. Even the boutonnieres had crystals and palo santo!

The Party

After a tearful ceremony against an incredible natural backdrop, the cocktail hour featured tasty hors-d’oeuvres like savory donuts and tasty cocktails and the bridal party headed to a sunkissed meadow for golden hour shots. The late summer light in the Sierra faded quickly but lasted long enough to get some priceless shots of Ally and Andy in their post-marital bliss with their dog Rufio! 

Ally’s gorgeous dress by Bhldn was contrasted by the sandy meadow grass and Andy’s tan, all of which made that Turquoise jewelry Pop! 

After dinner was served by Blend Catering, the couple was celebrated under the Milky Way to the loving toasts of family and friends and danced the night away under the Sierra stars.
