Aztec Desert Wedding Inspiration

aztec inspired wedding

The minimalist beauty of the New Mexico desert sets the tone for today’s lovely aztec-inspired styled shoot, photographed by Brumley + Wells and styled by Celeste Greene. Using many locally salvaged details, like the hand-beaded hair barrette and quirky longhorn tie clip, and bringing in a few beautiful vintage pieces from Heirlooms, the team was able to evoke a feel that was not only raw + organic, but also elegant + intentional. Here’s a bit more about the setting from Annie of Brumley + Wells:
