Ultimate Boho Inspo at The Ruin Venue in Joshua Tree

Dreaming of a desert wedding day? We’ve seen some pretty amazing ceremonies set up against the desert sun and it’s no wonder: the dusty natural tones, the vast, open skies, and the rustic foliage all lend themselves to a fairly dazzling backdrop. Today’s inspiration draws from that very same magic, focusing in on the enchanting Ruin Venue in Joshua Tree. In addition to Joshua Tree’s many wonders, the site features an abandoned home that belonged to a California gold minor about 100 years ago! Talk about unique…and perhaps even a little bit mystic. Perfect for the bride looking for something different with a rich history.

The Bohemian shoot came to us from photographer By Amy Lynn and features event design + rentals by Pow Wow Design Studio, some pretty jaw-dropping gowns, and a overdose of creative energy to get our desert-inclined brides inspired! Let’s take a look!
