All the Heart Eyes for this Epic Elopement
Designed to showcase the growing elopement trend, this Scottsdale Arizona editorial features creativity that pushes the envelope. From the team, "we're hearing frequently with the popularity of sites like Pinterest and Instagram that it's difficult to decide which elements of your wedding to focus on and where to place the bulk of your budget."
"Our answer? Sit down and really think about the top 2-3 items that are most important to you and let your vendor team grow them into ideas that are reflective of you as a couple." Mandy Marie Creative and Lesley Bodwell selected The Brexley as the venue because of its modern influence and architectural elements. And oh. my. goodness. Get ready for gorgeous!
From the team, "we wanted to create an inspired shoot that evoked the feeling of refined romance and minimalism, while using a warm color story that popped against The Brexley's cool and modern backdrops."
"All these vendors came together to push design boundaries and to create new trends for future weddings; using a blend of contemporary and classic elements for a refreshing and unique look."

From Mandy Marie Creative, "Vendors who consistently provide high-end service and design graciously jumped on board to bring this romantic and minimalist design to life."
"This design was initially inspired from the statement entryway of The Brexley. Immediately, MMC knew this could be transformed into an epic space for a ceremony."
"The oversized cage front door was used as a ceremony backdrop, while the aisle played off the bronze color tones by installing a stunning, mirrored, rose-gold aisle lined with soft roses and pampas grass."
"Cleo & Clementine is known for creating one of a kind, handmade gowns and accessories with ethereal fabrics and brilliant colors like the stunning rose gold gown and veil created for this shoot."
"Bloom + BloomPrint represents everything artistic and floral. Their team knocked it out of the park with this ceremony floral installation adhered to a 12ft iron entryway."
"They styled the bouquet and centerpieces to perfection providing the ultimate wow factor. Their creativity and ability to adapt is truly one of a kind."

"MaeFlour Cakes is always an over and above experience. We asked her to design 1 cake for this shoot and she showed up with 3! She has a true talent to craft and design her pieces of art, Cakes!"
"Glamour and Woods is a rental company that believes in design first! They helped create an elegant and sophisticated ceremony setting with their Sofia Oval Back Chairs. In the reception space, The Ritz Cocktail Tier held flutes of rose and was an instant show-stopper."
"Maude Press created one of the most unique stationery suites we’ve ever seen! The distinctive cutouts and rose gold string tying it all together was the perfect complement to this shoot. They never fail to deliver a handmade product that is custom, quality and most of all beautiful."
"Bright Event Rentals provided us with newly stocked inventory for the entire tablescape and Parker flutes for the champagne tower. They are innovative and constantly updating their unique products and collections to provide a distinctive and fresh look."
"ED Marshall Jewelers in Scottsdale is our favorite place to send couples for high-quality engagement rings and accessories. They provided us with a 1.6 carat, emerald-cut diamond engagement ring, paired with a stunning wedding band to complete the bride’s look."
"Chantelle Mertes styled our model's hair a total of 3 times throughout this shoot. We started with a full up-do, then half-up half-down and the final look was all down tousled curls. Chantelle’s talent, demeanor and confidence is definitely someone you want on your glam squad for any event."
"Pearls Beauty by Pearl Espinoza provided our model with perfect bridal makeup giving her that bridal glow! Pearl is a pro, who works in multiple parts of the MUA industry from editorial, bridal and commercial."

"At the end of the day, our bride made a gown switch into a white, strapless, sweetheart-neckline gown. This allowed her to move more freely, inevitably creating a leisurely and effortless aesthetic that paired well with The Brexley's modern and architectural elements."
