This lush shoot combines the gorgeous Utah mountains, lush florals, and a playfully moody color palette to create the ultimate boho forest wedding inspiration! Inspired by the super green and epic Little Cottonwood Canyon, Nhiya Kaye Photography rounded up her favorite Utah vendors and real couple Jenny and Austin to contribute their magic to this stunning shoot. Fun details like a mossy table runner, dark wooden accents, and feathered dreamcatchers hanging from the trees add whimsy and boho style to this cute wedding inspo!
Leah and Sach’s bright jewel toned wedding beautifully blends the groom’s Indian heritage and the bride’s love for contemporary textures! The wedding’s florals created by The Dainty Lion incorporate lots of greenery and pops of color that we think complemented the San Diego Botanic Gardens perfectly. Thoughtful bar and food menus, a very personal ceremony, and the cutest guestbook table are a few details that totally made Leah and Sach’s wedding special to them. From first look to first dance, photographer Hannah Costello captured every romantic and botanical moment of the couple’s day!
The most important aspect while wedding planning was to ensure each decision we made was going to be an expression of ourselves, both as a couple and as individuals. From the farm-to-table food to the indie music to the elegant yet approachable vibe, we wanted each piece to reflect what lights our fires and what makes us who we are! Also, we wanted to simply throw a super fun dance party for our family and friends!
Our wedding colors were bright and poppy jewel tones! We chose this as a nod to Sach‘s Indian heritage and the bright colors that we’d fallen in love with during our travels to India.
Our advice: Have fun with the process. Looking back, the days where we let any stress get to us was just not worth it. It’s such a special time that you’ll never get to experience again and focusing on the excitement and love pays you back 10 fold compared to focusing on the worry or stress. We were able to focus more on the excitement by utilizing a very detailed to-do list in the weeks leading up. It kept us sane!
We would both agree that the most memorable part of the day was the ceremony! We’d imagine not many couples would choose the ceremony as the highlight, but our team did such a fantastic job of creating such an intimate setting in the gardens. From looking out during the ceremony and seeing the faces of all our friends and family to the words that our officiant and friend, Chris, spoke about our love story and the people in our lives… It felt like a very special gathering with the best people in our worlds!
We DIY’ed the escort cards! We purchased 1”x1” wooden blocks and sliced a slit halfway down the center. We then dip-dyed the blocks in fuchsia and burgundy Rit Dye, while spray-painting the others gold. These held the escort cards, where we used as many of our guest’s nicknames as we could!
Sach loves sharks, so I recruited one of our cousins to come out during the dance party in a full Left-Shark costume! It was epic and definitely stirred up the dance floor during some Katy Perry!
Working with our photographer Hannah the day of was like hanging out with our best friend. We had done our engagement photos with her a few months prior and really got to know her on a personal level. This, along with her warm personality, allowed us to feel completely calm and comfortable; we giggle with her the entire time! It was so fun watching HER have so much fun!
Ashlea and Johnathan’s Noosa North Shore wedding proves that there’s nothing quite as magical as a glamorous teepee celebration! The couple’s wedding reception featured a gorgeous dessert bar, live music, and a cocktail-style dinner to encourage a laid-back atmosphere and mingling between their family and friends. We think the soft draping and dramatic beading on Ashlea’s Pallas Couture gown was the perfect touch to complete her casually glam bridal look. Photographer Bonnie Jenkins captured the couple’s day beautifully, including some gorgeous beachy couple portraits shot at dusk!
For us, it was important for the day to be relaxed and for all of our guests to have fun and mingle with each other. We wanted somewhere we could do our own thing and not be forced to choose certain things and Beach Road Holiday Homes were great with this. It was the perfect place for the teepees to be set up and most of our guests stayed at the venue so it was so convenient for everyone.
Our photographer Bonnie was amazing before and on the day. She was so professional and made us so relaxed on the day. She captured some perfect moments and we cannot thank her enough.
Our advice: Don’t stress about the little things – on the day you actually do not even notice. Easier said than done now that it’s over but it’s so true. We had a wedding coordinator on the day and we would definitely recommend to have one. It takes all of the stress away and you can just enjoy getting ready and the rest of the day. Also stay true to what you and your partner really want your wedding to be, it may not be everyone else’s ideal wedding and it can be difficult to accommodate everyone but as long as you are both happy with it that’s all that matters.
We wanted to the day to be relaxed and fun and we wanted all our guests to mingle so we decided on a cocktail style reception. We absolutely love the look and vibe of teepee weddings and we chose live music to create that chilled atmosphere during the day and a party vibe at night. It worked perfectly.
