This Jackson, New Hampshire Elopement is Full of Beautiful Views + Details

January 25, 2020 | Junebug Weddings

Brianna and Seth’s venue shopping consisted of the outdoors, hiking, and dreaming of making memories in the mountains for their New Hampshire elopement. When it came time for their big day, the couple hiked to the perfect spot in the White Mountains with Shelby Rose Photography and every photo is absolute perfection. We’re loving Seth’s punchy rust colored suit, Brianna’s sunning VeLace Bridal gown, and every single once of the floral creations Allioops! designed for their day! If eloping surrounded by breathtaking views and boho decor is on your wish list, you’re sure to be totally inspired by this day.

We went venue shopping like every couple does, however, our venue shopping consisted of the outdoors, hiking, and a fun day at the mountains. We searched places in the White Mountains of New Hampshire until we found the beautiful Cathedral Ledge and Diana’s Bath’s. We knew we wanted both locations because they had such different looks and beauty. Because they are so close in distance it was easy to make this wish happen. One of the best things was the cost of our venue. Having our ceremony at Cathedral Ledge only cost us $100!

The most important thing when planning our wedding was making sure the day was about us and our love for each other. We knew that having written personalized vows was something we wanted. We also knew we wanted to be outdoors.

We exchanged gifts while relaxing at our lounge at Diana’s Bath’s. We were sitting on rocks amongst water. Seth‘s gifts were a UNH t-shit to represent where we first met, a post card of Pawtuckaway State Park to represent where he first fell in love with me and one of our engagement pictures, representing our future. I provide Seth with a das boot because the day we met we drank from one, we then shared our first married drink together, a DVD of the movie Role Models which was our first date, and guitar picks with a picture of us on them to represent the future. All the gifts were very special and filled our hearts with love and past memories.

There were two very memorable parts of the day. The first was reading and listening to the vows we wrote each other. We did this at sunrise on top of Cathedral Ledge looking at a beautiful mountain view. The second was listening to the song that Seth wrote for me while hearing the waterfall in the background at Diana’s Bath’s. This was so peaceful and serene.

Celestial-Inspired Wedding in Joshua Tree, California

January 23, 2020 | Junebug Weddings

Krista and Ethan’s celestial-inspired wedding didn’t skip on any detail. They even chose their wedding date, September 14th, because there was a full moon that night! Sarah May Designs helped the couple dream up a day written in the stars. The reception decor was simple, yet perfect, with shades of blue for the linens and illuminated by the most magnificent Moroccan star lights. Plus, we hear the gluten-free cake baked by Over The Rainbow was simply to-die-for! We can’t wait for you to see every photo Alyssa Marie Evans Photography captured of this magical day — from the perfect California sun beaming down on their reception to dancing the night away under stars in the moonlight.

The Couple:

Krista & Ethan

The Wedding:

Le Haut Desert Aerie, Joshua Tree, California

Wedding planning advice from the bride: Take your time, make it unique to you, and enjoy every minute of it!

We asked two of our friends to play instruments for the processional and recessional, which was really special. they are really talented! After we read our vows, we also had a wine box ceremony where we put letters and a bottle of wine into this personalized box. We plan to open the box, read the letters, and enjoy the wine together on our 5 year anniversary.

We had an awesome Taco Truck (Soho Taco) come and serve us dinner, but the real star of the show was our wedding cake. When we came to Joshua Tree for the first time 6 years ago, we had a piece cake for dessert at this restaurant and we have not stopped talking about it since. So when we decided to get married out here, we just HAD to get that cake (Over the Rainbow Desserts). Our guests finally understood why we were so crazy about this cake.
