How To Beautifully Embrace Your Inner Hipster On Your Wedding Day

Share

Say what you like about Hipsters, but they have some killer style! And embracing that unique look can give your wedding day one heck of a stunning vibe. The Quail & The Dove worked with Novelty Events and Michelle Dudley Photography and several other outstanding wedding vendors to give us this amazing look into what a stress-free desert bed and breakfast wedding might be like. Our jaws are still on the floor if that gives you any idea how we feel about it. 

You won’t want to miss a moment of this gorgeous wedding day that is so very now, so keep scrolling and let us know what you think in the comments below! Oh and don’t forget to stop by the full gallery. There is always a ton more to see in there.

The Inspiration

We wanted to inspire the modern day couple and show them they can have a rad elopement that is intimate and edgy, modern and stylish, easy and fun without the big production of a stressful wedding day. 

When it came to the venue, we chose the Desert Lily Inn Bed & Breakfast for a simplistic open-air ceremony design. We loved the ease of it also being a bed and breakfast and the newlyweds being able to immediately start their honeymoon getaway.

The Decor

We brought in black and rose gold celestial and geometric accents and rentals that complimented the modern and edgy vibe we were going for, but we also wanted a stunning bouquet and amazing floral installation to add to the contrast of an edgy design with delicate additions. 

We had beautifully crafted personalized vow books for the bride & groom to have as keepsakes along with a touching wedding video of the bride and groom saying their vows, dancing under the desert sun and getting away on their motorcycle into the sunset.
