You’re Gonna Wanna Copy The Rich Color Palette in This Desert Elopement Inspiration at Sycamore Canyon Trails

January 5, 2018 | Junebug Weddings

The desert vistas, golden meadows, and red dusty hills of Sycamore Canyon Trails was the prefect setting for this wildly romantic elopement shoot created and captured by Melissa Rey Photo and a talented team of local vendors. The newlyweds wanted to re-document their wedding day using elements and décor from their wedding, creating a bohemian oasis in the stunning Arizona desert. An inspirational color palette of juicy reds, rusty oranges, rich gold-yellows, and antique ivory was featured throughout the floral décor, arranged by Sweet Blooms and Co, and sweetheart table full of dried pampas grass, hanging macramé, and gold details. The star of the show was the fabulous single-tiered wedding cake created by Sweet and Lovely Co, dripping with honey and topped with heaping pomegranates, figs, and berries. We love how much fun this couple had smoking cigars and popping champagne in their elegant desert refuge!

This Gorgeous Dublin City Hall Wedding Absolutely Took Our Breaths Away

Edel and Damien’s small Dublin City Hall wedding was attended only by their closest friends and family, followed by a quick trip to the pub, and a fun-filled ballroom reception full of dancing, singing, and celebration at Fallon & Byrne. This sweet couple wanted a chilled and relaxed day, surrounded by their loved ones, with a few pints, good food, and great ‘craic.’ The couple’s rustic three-tiered, nearly naked cake from The Wedding Cake Boutique decorated with juicy berries, vanilla beans, and sweet miniature flags. Floral designer The Garden Powerscourt created the springy and delicate bridal headhand, bouquet, and simply elegant reception décor, featuring baby’s breath, daisies, eucalyptus, and ferns for a fresh and stylish feel. We love the bride’s stunning wedding dress Rime Arodaky, with sheer panels of lace, delicate buttons, and the tiniest hint of midriff. Antonija Nekic Photography, and second shooter Ivana Patarcic Photography captured this super sweet and emotional day.

The Couple:

Edel and Damien

The Wedding:

Dublin City Hall, Dublin, Ireland

The most important thing was to have all our loved ones in one room, great music, a big party to celebrate our love, a nice, relaxed and chilled day with a few pints, good food, and great fun with no stress or pressure for ourselves or anyone else. 

Our photographer Antonija was amazing, we had great fun with her all day and she was not afraid to get into the middle of the madness that night for a good shot!

The most memorable part of the day was walking into the room to a full on trad party that evening to everyone throwing confetti and seeing all our family andfriends for the big party!

We had a small ceremony and meal with close family and friends which was a little hard as we both have big families but everyone was understanding, during the ceremony we had our close family and friends take part by singing and reading. 

Entrance – ‘A Thousand Years’ Instrumental
Exit Song – ‘All I want is You’ Barry Polaris

Find Out What Wedding Venue Type is Right for You
A Loft Venue

You're creative at your core, so the idea of a blank slate is an exciting one! A loft venue allows you to craft your wedding from the ground up with only the details that matter to you. Whether you lean into the industrial setting with modern minimalist decor or fill the space with lush florals, greenery, and an eclectic assortment of your favorite things, a loft venue is the perfect base for the wedding of your dreams! Get inspired by this chic Norwegian wedding at Lageret Studio in Oslo, this burgundy and black fall wedding inspiration at Papiermuhle Homurg, and this handmade Strongwater wedding that's chock full of personality! photo cred: The Shannons Photography
A Garden Venue

You've got a dreamy, romantic, lush wedding in your future hosted at a beautiful garden venue! Let the flowers and venue grounds take the main stage in your wedding design as you punctuate your day with vintage, bohemian, or whimsical details. Though your venue is already filled with fresh blooms, we recommend adding a stellar florist to your vendor team who can complement the existing florals with handcrafted pieces just for you. Get inspired by this dreamy botanical Woodson Ridge Farms wedding, this enchanted Charlotte garden wedding at The Duke Mansion, and this nontraditional Irish wedding at Mount Juliet Estate with a gothic twist. photo cred: Cody & Allison Photography
A Lodge Venue

You love the idea of a rustic wedding but you're not sold on saying "I do" in a barn. A lodge venue is the perfect alternative! If you're getting hitched in the fall or winter, fill your venue with cozy details like velvet, seasonal greenery, and a hot cocoa bar. If you're tying the knot in the spring or summer, don't be afraid to take cues from summer camp with nostalgic callbacks to traditional camp activities and handmade signage. Get inspired by this rugged chic fall wedding inspiration at Scribner's Catskill Lodge, this natural and neutral Hornby Island wedding at Sea Breeze Lodge, and this Nashville camp wedding that's full of fall tones. photo cred: Swak Photography
A Villa Venue

Your upcoming wedding is sure to be pure elegance at a villa venue! Villas are known for being naturally beautiful backdrops thanks to their European-inspired architecture and Old World style. This makes villas great for two reasons. On one hand, simple details and greenery go a long way because the venue doesn't need a lot to feel decorated. On the other, you have an already gorgeous setting to pull inspiration from as you transform your venue into something uniquely you. Get inspired by both in the following real weddings: Villa Antonia gave this elegant Texas wedding California winery vibes, this lavish yet laid-back Tuscan wedding at Villa Passerini, and this Tuscan-inspired California wedding at The Villa San Juan Capistrano. photo cred: Plum & Oak Photo
