Noticing that often weddings in the desert get stuck in a category where rustic, arid design elements rule the show, photographer Tyler Rye + the designers at Forevermore Events aimed to take this editorial – styled for Tyler’s latest workshop – to new heights by channeling a more soft + romantic European vibe. By incorporating pastel gray tones and muted colors, along with a beautiful flowing dress by Rue De Seine from The Dress Theory, the team was able to stage something new + inspirational amid the stunning red rocks of Utah’s Zion National Park…
The paper goods, by Alex Obering Design, depict a desert scene in the prettiest of ways.
The bouquet by Bloomers really juxtaposes a desert vibe (with that giant air plant) with a more romantic feel (thanks to the delicate, white filler blooms).
One of the stars of the show: that air plant topped ombre cake by Sweet Cakes!

Such wonderful detailing on the shoulder of that dress.
nIce blod…i really love that costume
This is really beautiful! Great job!
I love the whimsical earthy feel to this wedding design. So beautifully understated.
A dreamy wedding photography amidst the dessert is not an easy task. But I should surely congratulate the team for bringing the magic in the entire scene. The colour tones are aesthetically chosen according to the rustic ambience. I was not a great fan of dessert based theme for wedding photography but this session made me change the opinion.
It’s a gorgeous shoot !
