Desert-Toned Wedding Inspiration with a Boho Balloon Arch

Modern Desert Nor Cal Wedding Inspiration

We love a good desert wedding, but you don’t need to plan your vows among the rusty landscape to capture those boho vibes. Sometimes it’s as easy as calling on a few desert-toned wedding colors to bring the magic to life! And, hey—a boho balloon arch never hurts, either.

This wedding inspiration features refined boho elements in earthy terra cotta and chocolate tones with a modern twist. The brides are a real-life couple and they even let us in on some exciting news that we’ll share below!

Let’s get into the goodness with design by Paradise Parkway and photos by Liz Koston Photography!

What’s the scoop on the happy couple? Here’s the story from Emily:

Marina and I met in 2014 and recently celebrated our two-year wedding anniversary in August. We are both currently in school and planning on starting our family soon! This time next year, we anticipate that we will have a little one on the way! We are absolutely grateful for all the support we have received in our community and cannot wait to see where our little family of two will go and grow in the coming years!
