Jake + Carly, a Dazzling La Posada Wedding

Pacific Northwest hunnies Jake and Carly waited several years to tie the knot, but when they finally made it official this May, it was a dream beyond dreams. These cuties brought the most chic, elegant garden-inspired celebration to the heart of the Southwest and we’re the biggest fans of it all.

Carly and Jake first met almost a decade ago while they were both attending journalism school in Chicago and very quickly fell for each other. After moving to Washington D.C. for several years, these babes packed up everything and moved all the way to Portland, OR on the other side of the country. During their roadtrip to the West Coast, Carly and Jake just happened to pass through Santa Fe and immediately fell in love with The City Different (but more on that later!). Jake and Carly got engaged in March of 2020 (right as the pandemic was starting) and began planning their wedding from home.

While they were envisioning their big day, Jake and Carly remembered how much they adored Santa Fe and ultimately decided that there was no where else they’d rather get hitched. Two years after their engagement, these cuties finally got their amazing celebration with some of the most unreal details around. With the magic of Just Lovely Weddings and Darling Details Rentals, Carly and Jake’s day was gorgeous and seamless from start to finish. The angels from Viva Flora created a ceremony chuppah unlike any we’ve seen before and Funky Olive Designs created an invitation suite and paper goods straight from heaven. We loved catching the last few rays of sunlight with these angels as they danced in the middle of a little Santa Fe street. Every inch of this day was a true celebration of love, beauty, and pure joy. We’re forever drooling over all the little touches Carly and Jake brought to their wildly beautiful spring afternoon.

We’re forever the biggest fans of the sweetest lovers and all of the pretty wedding day details, cheers to married life Carly and Jake!!!
