The best part about planning a wedding is the possibilities are endless. You want a disco ball? You got it. You want to elope at the top of a mountain with your closest family members? No problem. You want a wedding in the middle of the freakin’ desert? DONE! Instead of doing a traditional wedding at an indoor venue, you now have the option to go to the middle of the desert and bring everyone with you! Don’t get us wrong, traditional weddings are stunning, but here are the reasons why we think you should at least consider a desert wedding.
THE PARTY NEVER
STOPS
With a desert wedding, there are no rules when it comes to music! Your DJ will have the freedom to play as loud as they want, as late as they want. The only neighbors that can complain are the saguaro cacti! Music is a big part of every wedding and can determine how good of a time your guests are having. What kills the vibe faster than having the party turned down at 8 PM? With a desert wedding, the party doesn’t have to stop until you tell it to, sister. You make your own rules!
VIEW = FLAWLESS
The views at desert weddings are simply unbeatable! There are hundreds of picturesque locations your photographer can choose from while your guests mingle during cocktail hour. From the saguaro cacti to the ombre sunsets, it is a promise your photos will be stunning. Not to mention, the backdrop at your ceremony will be flawless! A beautiful desert landscape paired with a simple gold arch to tie in your theme makes for the perfect ceremony.
COLORS ON COLORS
We don’t think there’s a color scheme that hasn’t looked amazing in the middle of the desert. From terra cotta and sage green to champagne and dark red, everything matches! The best part is you have the freedom to choose rentals that coordinate with your theme and trust us, there’s a LOT to choose from. Throw in a few pink pillows, an orange couch, some dried florals, and you’ll be set!
LOOK UP
Believe it or not, the open desert won’t even be the best view of your day! When you book your desert wedding (and we know you totally will after reading this blog), promise us you will do one thing. At the end of the night before you depart from your guests, take a moment and look up. The stars in the middle of the desert are absolutely breathtaking! We know for a fact that is something you just don’t get at a traditional venue.
