Lauren and Charles, Loretto Chapel

Welcome back to Blue Rose beauties! #WeddingWednesday is always a call for celebration here in our little corner of the internet, but you know our love for New Mexico weddings isn’t confined by a single day! How could it be, when every famed sunrise in our gorgeous state gives us new inspiration by being the first day of a couple’s new life together?!

The sun peeking up on the morning of Charles and Lauren’s new adventure was definitely no exception. We’re still eagerly awaiting the sunshine and blooms of a southwestern spring here, of course, but in the meantime, we’re cozying up to the fond memories of their intimate day. Held by the old-world architecture of the Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe, Lauren and Charles pledged their boundless love for each other in just each other’s company.

Now, we would die for a grand, 300-people, bustling celebration just as much as the next wedding lovers, but this elopement? Absolutely stole our hearts. Delicate gold detailing throughout the holy sanctuary complimented the lace appliqué of Lauren’s gown, shining alongside her newlywed glow. With Charles in a perfectly tailored suit of grey, the couple created a shimmering little universe to say their I Do’s in — one we’ll be dreaming of forever. And how could we not?! Being there to capture every moment from the sun’s first bean through the stained glass windows, to the last second when Lauren and Charles sped off into the distance in a sleek vintage town car was the honor of a lifetime.

So get comfy! We’re bringing you with us as we relive the unforgettable magic of this day — grab a cup of tea and you can too.

Las Cruces, New Mexico

Las Cruces City of Crosses is full of history, culture and the most amazing majestic mountains. Yvonne and Peter fully embraced New Mexican traditions and sprinkled them with soft, rustic and colorful vibes. Their reception at New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum was a perfect venue for a celebration in the heart of the New Mexican desert. We were so grateful to be a part of such a beautiful day!

Grace and Jack’s Wedding … La Fonda Hotel in Santa Fe, New Mexico

Country Singer, Grace Eskew and Jack’s romantic wedding had all the makings of the sweetest country love song. Friends and family flew in from all over to see the couple exchange vows with the beautiful Cathedral Basilica serving as the most amazing backdrop. As the sweetest flower girls laid rose pedals, Grace walked the aisle donning country western boots and a huge smile. Proceeding the ceremony, the wedding party and guests joined the mariachi lead processional around the Santa Fe Plaza to their reception at The La Fonda Hotel. Blue Rose was proud to be part of such an amazing day.
