Southwest Wedding Inspiration

Keeping with our Southwest theme today, this styled shoot drew its inspiration from the culture of Southern Colorado. Southern Colorado culture is comprised of Native American, Spanish, Mexican and early pioneer influences. The team wanted to incorporate the colors and textures from the desert with the textiles of wood, burlap and natural fibers. Thanks so much to Vanessa Kruse of Flourish Studio Photography for the photos!

All of the paper items were made by Roger from Flourish Letterpress. The menu and table number were created on wood – love that detail! The laser cut place mats were also made of a natural fibered paper and the place cards were faux tin. Love the use of different textures!

The location for the shoot in Colorado Springs’ Black Forest area is stunning, right?! The La Foret Retreat & Conference Center has an adobe Santa Fe Style chapel that was the perfect location for this Southern Colorado Styled shoot. The gorgeous jewelry is by Sarah of Bellissima Jewelry Design
