Retro Meets Boho in This Desert-Themed Wedding Inspiration
We're all on a throwback kick right now. Everyone is loving the styles and trends from way back when, especially the funky and fabulous looks of the 1960s and the 1970s. In this groovy styled shoot courtesy of Opal & Onyx Photography with the design by Earth Entwine, we get to feast our eyes on everything you would want in a bohemian shoot with a striking color palette.
For starters, bright white immediately hits you, from the stunning event space to the bride's crocheted wedding dress with bell sleeves (praise hands and heart eyes emojis for days over her outfit!) from Letarte. Woven in are glorious, moody shades of crimson, orange, and blush pink from the florals crafted by Mama's Secret Garden. Cactus and succulents added the overall finishing touches to this hip design too good to miss out on.
From the event designer, "The motivation behind this styled shoot was to work with vendors and models I had never worked with before. It is so fun to create and design with fresh minds while making new friends in the industry!"
"We came together with the idea of creating a concept that celebrated an editorial swing on a cozy bohemian vibe. A sumptuously modern desert gypsy bungalow, if you will."
"When I thought about the editorial perspective, Place on Parry came to mind immediately. It was a privilege to host the shoot at their venue, which provided a perfect blank slate and impeccable natural lighting."
"What I truly enjoyed about this shoot was its ability to effortlessly mold into something relaxed and whimsical while coming to life in an elegant way."
"Opal & Onyx Photography has an exquisite way of capturing that. Bailey’s focus, passion, and flexibility made her so fun to work with."
"For the florals, our floral director wanted to use a balance of cactus and desert flowers with a rich deep color palette. Nailed it! The groom's quirky pocket boutonniere added a little whimsical humor as well."
"I brought my in-house MUA/Hairstylist to complement and highlight the magic in our bohemian lovebirds. Paxton’s work was focused around a natural complexion and moody shades to coincide with the style."
"Choosing a cake vendor was an easy decision. I fell in love with Whisk Until Sweet when I tasted one of Heather’s cakes at a wedding back in January. For a person who is not into cake to crave hers weeks later, I just knew I had to work with her!"
"We successfully brought together the cozy cactus vibe and made new business relationships along the way. I would definitely say this styled shoot was a success from all ends!"
