Sultry Southwestern: Edgy Meets Bold Boho Wedding Inspiration

Southwestern Rocker Inspired Wedding

If you’ve been reading GWS for awhile, you’ve probably seen Danielle Poff’s name pop up every now and then… Well, there’s good reason why! We adore her vibrant + playful photography style, but with subtle moody touches. For her latest photography workshop, Danielle teamed up with Tumbleweed Floral Truck + Elise of Brannan Events & Design to bring us the most bold + eye-catching rock ’n’ roll meets boho Southwest wedding inspiration.

Intrigued? So were we! The color palette consisted of rust, burgundy, and black, with bright pops of turquoise and clementine. Brannan Events & Design shares: We wanted to use a lot of unique textures and when conceptualizing the ceremony space, I envisioned an artistic backdrop that was totally unique. We used a mix of patterned rugs and an awesome, custom-made rug rack that displayed them, to create this stand-out piece!

Let’s wander through the desert (A.K.A. California Ranch Events) + get lost in the gorgeous images…

Do you recognize that STUNNING dress? It just so happens to be the Carter gown from the GWS x Lovers Society collaboration! We *may* be biased, but we’re particularly fond of the illusion neckline…

How good is that ribbon + fringe combination hanging off the bouquet?

For the backdrop, Kaylia of Tumbleweed Floral Truck created grass arrangements with an array of vases, to frame either side.

When it came to the reception space, the team wanted to create an inviting + cozy table with creative details. So they opted for matte black China and complementary mugs. Black dipped gold flatware, funky leather chairs, bright table runners, and opalescent glass place cards really made the table a stand-out!
