Inspired by the muted, romantic color palette of the Mesquite Sand Dunes of Death Valley, the team behind today’s dreamy editorial set out to emphasize the natural + organic beauty of the location. The designers at Rae & Moore collaborated with Poiema Photography + Oak, Barrel, and Bloom to create a setting that was at once feminine and whimsical, using earthy elements such as stone, marble and wood. By pairing those details with textural florals and a flowing veil, we definitely feel as though we’re lost in the wind…or at least lost in the beauty these artists dreamt up + created…
That right there is the perfect romantic bridal look by Roberta Sandor Makeup Artistry.
Oak, Barrel, and Bloom used a mix of roses, protea, dusty miller, stock and silver dollar eucalyptus to create that very romantic bouquet.
Elan Event Rentals had the perfect furniture pieces for this editorial. We simply cannot get over those chairs! And the earthy table paired perfectly with select tabletop pieces from Anthropologie.
