On October 7th, we had the opportunity to plan Kelsey and Emile’s desert wedding located at Superstitions mountain! From the view and the sunset to the florals and the colors, we are obsessed with every part of this day. Continue reading to see our favorite photos + highlights from this beautiful desert wedding!
The day began with the couple getting ready at the cutest Airbnb located in Mesa, Arizona! Because she is the sweetest bride, Kelsey gave each of her bridesmaids a small gift to share this wonderful day with them. Once the gifts were exchanged, the bride and her gals took photos in their matching robes, with Kelsey wearing white of course! The girls then helped Kelsey slip into her gown so she could go meet her soon-to-be husband for their first look.
Megan Claire Photo did such an amazing job capturing the pure joy that was radiating off this couple during their first look. Emile had to take off his glasses for a few moments to wipe the tears from his eyes, how sweet! The couple then read each other their personal vows and exchanged a few more smiling tears. This moment was so special and a perfect testament to their love story. When it was time, the couple was off to go meet their guests at the Superstitions!
Everyone knows you really can’t go wrong with a Cloth and Flame wedding, but everything about this day was beautiful! The bride chose such a classy color palette with accents of warm mauve, cream, and dusty pink. While guests were waiting, they mingled by the lounge and left advice for the couple in the time capsule jar. Once Kelsey and Emile arrived, everyone took their seats and the ceremony began!
Even though the couple exchanged personal vows with each other back at the Airbnb, they still shared their intentions with all their guests at the ceremony. These second vows were short and sweet, and perfect for the ceremony. The bride and groom concluded the ceremony by kissing for the first time to “Holy” by Justin Bieber, how cute! The crowd cheered as the couple made their way back down the aisle past their guests. Before the sun set over the mountains, Megan Claire took some photos of the couple while their guests talked and ate hors devours.
The rest of the night was spent eating delicious food, having good conversation, and sharing lots of laughter! When guests began dancing, Kelsey changed into the CUTEST white cocktail dress with puffy sleeves and to put it simply, we were obsessed. Kelsey danced the night away while Emile watched his beautiful bride. When the night, Kelsey and Emile shared one last dance together underneath the stars while guests were exiting. This was by far the sweetest moment of the evening.
Every desert wedding we have the opportunity to plan is always a blast, but this was by far one of our favorites. Kelsey and Emile are so in love, and that made our job easy. Throughout the entire day, there was never a dull moment and we are so glad we are able to share it!
