I have a gorgeous desert wedding to share with you guys today! Sent to me by the super talented – and super sweet – photographer Stephanie Williams, Julie + Patrick’s wedding was held in Joshua Tree, just minutes from Joshua Tree National Park, at the Sacred Sands Bed and Breakfast. I haven’t seen any weddings from Joshua Tree before, so I really loved looking at these photos. What a beautiful backdrop for a wedding!
A little bit about the day from Stephanie, Julie + Patrick are such an amazing couple, and both so artistic and creative! Many of the designs and wedding theme were created by the couple, and I loved that Patrick actually went rock climbing in Joshua Tree a few hours before the wedding! There were also many eco friendly aspects to their wedding – all the succulents on the tables and even the succulent bouquets were re-plantable, all the food was organic vegetarian cuisine from the couple’s own favorite recipes, and even the Sacred Sands is an environmentally-friendly building (built using strawbale walls as insulation).
As wedding favors, everyone received a poster with the couple’s wedding logo + theme from Clone Press, and Julie’s gorgeous dress was by Jim Hjelm. The reception was held outside under a canopy of stars, and they had bunt cakes and biscottis for dessert. All in all, a perfect evening!
How fun are these cakes!? Love them!
Such a beautiful, lovely, organic day. Congrats again to Julie + Patrick! Thanks again Stephanie for sharing your lovely photos with us. Check out even more gorgeous photos from the day on Stephanie’s Blog.

This is my favorite wedding to date. Every single thing is understated, elegant, and perfect.
