Vibrant Southwest Wedding Inspiration

Let's go ahead and get one thing clear: I go gaga for bright colors. Throw in boho inspired details, and southwestern flair, and this styled shoot designed by Celebrating Love By Marcie has me feeling inspired like none other!

With a focus on incorporating western vibes and texture galore, this dream team of wedding pros captured so much beauty on this day. And oh my goodness! It's a good thing that Karen from K. Rainier Photography was there at Montagu Meadows to capture it all.

From the photographer, "It probably stems from my South American heritage and love of everything desert-related, from succulents to wind-blown hair."
