Ash And Mac On This Mountainside Elopement Inspiration 

The day was beautiful. Everything was planned out so intricately and intimately—it really paid off. The hosts Dawn Photo and Curated Mess.co, had us write love letters to each other and read them aloud as vows overlooking a gorgeous canyon. We were followed around by a little paparazzi of photographers but everyone was so respectful, sweet, and made us feel comfortable in our own little world together. I had to repeatedly stop and massage my cheeks throughout the day because I was smiling and laughing so much! It truly was such a beautiful celebration of our relationship and the love we share. And we are so passionate about helping others see that love has no gender or bounds.

The Importance Of Your Guest List 

We were so grateful that we were able to have everyone we hold most dear there with us. We didn’t have a lot of trouble finalizing the guest list. And I’m proud that our wedding was drama-free.

 

DIY Wedding Details That Add Personality 

I love to craft, paint, and make jewelry. Since the theme for our wedding weekend was centered around dreaming and magic, we crafted over 200 dream catchers to serve as escort cards to help our guests find their seats. They were really fun to make for everyone and I’m glad I could include a personal detail from my love for arts and crafts.

A Reception Venue Filled With New And Old Memories 

We chose to get married at my husband’s parents’ home. They have a beautiful backyard and we’ve shared so many memories together there. It felt really comfortable to have our wedding there.

Goodbye First Dance, Hello Private Dance 

Our private last dance was the most memorable moment of the day. John and I, alone in the twinkling garden tent, dancing to our favorite song made for the most incredible end to the day.
