From simple and modern wedding ceremony backdrops to a reception filled to the brim with stunning desert-inspired tables you will not want to miss a single moment of Nick and Braelyn’s big day!

From Big Fake Wedding

Inspired by the juxtaposition of the desert, (dusty ambers and oxblood paired with bright sky, sandstone, and cactus) Nick and Braelyn’s wedding embodied mysterious and effortless beauty. Indigenous patters and organic materials created a welcome warmth that stayed with guests long after the sun went down.
