Morgan and Travis, Four Seasons Resort Rancho Encantado Santa Fe

by | Sep 9, 2020 | | 0

Welcome back Blue Rose Beauties and happy #WeddingWednesday! We woke up with that crisp morning air, early signs of transitioning foliage and a pumpkin spice latte in hand… holy cozy! This next wedding is one we will never forget. We know that this celebration will resonate with all of the couples out there with an intimate guest list but a strong love for the “Art of Celebration”. Morgan & Travis were not afraid to take their own spin on tradition and make the day a reflection of their personal style and we are in awe of all the details and love that they allowed us to capture. This gorgeous bride looked unforgettable in her sage green gown- that color juxtaposed against her fiery red tresses equals pure perfection in our eyes. The ceremony was serene and romantic and Ryan of, Ryan Smith Cello Music, helped create that wonderful ambiance along with a wood burning fire and perhaps the most beautiful view in all of Santa Fe at the Four Seasons Rancho Encantado. The reception was exceptionally detailed and if you have ever experienced a wedding planned by Lauren with Just Lovely or the food and service at the Four Seasons you totally understand what we mean. We loved that the menu featured high end options with New Mexican flavor and that the cake was adorned with real gold flake. Those are the details that will be so memorable to your guests in the years to come. We loved how delicate blooms and lush foliage were perfectly incorporated into all of the arrangements turning a moody color scheme into an elegant, romantic look- Fred with Artichokes & Pomegranates never disappoints! A huge thank you to Morgan & Travis for trusting us to capture this monumental occasion, we are so honored. You both are true gems and we send our best wishes for a lifetime of love & pure bliss.

Lauren and Charles, Loretto Chapel

by | Feb 26, 2020 | | 0

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.

Emma and Aaron, La Fonda on the Plaza

Happy #WeddingWednesday and welcome back Blue Rose Beauties! What happens when you mix the most amazingly sweet couple with a classically iconic color palette? Pure, unadulterated – wedding magic, of course! You must know how much we love La Fonda on the Plaza weddings by now and this next celebration of Aaron and Emma totally reaffirms that love. When it comes to tying the knot, we are sure that nothing could tell their love story better than the natural beauty of Santa Fe, New Mexico. This area is home to some of the state’s most breathtaking wedding venues and might we add, the most talented wedding professionals ever! The iconic color palette of white, ivory, cream, and muted blush was incorporated into everything from the table design to the floral arrangements. The masterminds at Floriography Flowers brought this bride’s neutral color palette to life with just the right touches of texture and flair. Have you ever seen cotton incorporated into a bouquet? Yes we said cotton! This bountiful bouquet is unlike anything we’ve seen before and needless to say we are living for all of it. Looking back at this idyllic ceremony at the Cathedral, her iconic lace dress and all the details in-between has us feeling so nostalgic. We feel beyond honored to have lived this magical day first hand at a wedding where you could literally feel the elegance and love radiating through the rooftops. We were there to capture the beauty of the day as the couple exchanged vows surrounded by close friends and family, now we hope you will stay with us a while and watch it unfold, all over again.

Get your scroll on + come back soon!

Emma + Aaron if you are reading this, we are sending you so much and many wishes for a lifetime of happiness and joy!

Christine and James, La Fonda on the Plaza

Welcome back #BlueRoseBeauties!

We’ve got another gorgeous couple on the blog today, Christine + James! Not only is this dynamic duo painfully photogenic – above all they were beyond gracious and kind which makes our jobs substantially more lovely! This colorful destination wedding celebration is one for the books, and their location might just be the next one you add to your list. We all know that there are countless, beautiful, much sought after venues in New Mexico, but one of our personal favorites happens to be La Fonda on the Plaza in Santa Fe. The building itself is historically stunning, both inside and out and just so happens to be the location of choice for this couple’s journey into forever. We were there to capture the most intimate of moments and everything in between. On the floral front- think individual sprigs of lavender on each napkin, the most colorful wildflowers you can imagine – and a bridal comb made out of LIVE floral – huge shout out to Florecita Flowers for bringing the beautiful blooms- they were pure magic! If we had to describe the motif and overall vibe for this nuptial we would call it whimsically vibrant and a profound celebration of love with the most upscale Southwestern twist. Talavera tile table numbers, mini maracas and a full out La Marcha parade through Santa Fe’s plaza had us feeling right at home and might we add, proud to be New Mexican!  As always we feel so lucky to have witnessed such a lovely moment in time and to Mr. + Mrs. Gilland, we hope that if you are reading this- you feel our love and hopes for a lifetime of joy, coming your way!

Settle in and stay awhile- we’ve got so much to show you!
