Modern Take on a Safari-Inspired Wedding

Modern Safari Inspiration

What do you get when you mix a vintage Land Rover, safari tent, and leather accessories? A super cool + modern take on a safari-inspired wedding! The shoot designer Cynthia Alexander of An Enlightened Event teamed up with and Andrew Evans of Party Pleasers to create this updated African safari. The autumnal color palette includes rich bronze, terra-cotta orange, rust red, and creamy ivory, accented by distressed leather, straw baskets, and a touch of greenery. Now desert settings almost always require light colored clothing due to the heat, so the bride’s cream colored dress from BHLDN + the groom’s light khaki menswear made for the perfect wardrobe!

Let’s explore the savannah and see all the pretty photos by Anna Delores Photography!

The floral design by Knot Just Flowers was organic + overgrown, as if they had been plucked from the savannah.

Drop dead GORGEOUS!! The bride’s second cream colored dress is also from BHLDN; Blushing Beauty kept her looking fresh + glowing, even in the desert heat.
