Thomas + Jacqueline, a Lush Santa Fe Botanical Garden Wedding

Sweet Indiana babes Jacqueline and Thomas wanted to celebrate their love in the dreamiest Southwestern way possible, so they brought the party to Santa Fe. These cuties defied all the odds for what was truly the most gorgeous, unreal wedding of all time.

These two first crossed paths several years ago through mutual friends and felt a spark so real that both Thomas and Jacqueline were almost immediately head-over-heels for one another. After several years of falling more and more in love with each other, Thomas popped the question at Fair Oaks Farms with some of their closest friends and family present.

Almost two whole years later, and after rescheduling their special day several times, these lovebirds finally got to say “I do” in New Mexico. However, despite all of their careful planning, Jacqueline and Thomas were met with one of the biggest rainstorms of the year right in the heart of The City Different. Deciding that not even a downpour could stop their love, these angels made it official at Santa Fe Botanical Garden while the monsoon storm fell on them. Time seemed to stop for a few moments as Thomas and Jacqueline sealed the deal as husband and wife with a rain-soaked kiss, truly a moment straight from a silver screen feature.

Following their truly epic ceremony, these hunnies led their loved ones over to La Posada de Santa Fe for a garden-inspired soirée that was above and beyond our wildest day dreams. From the insanely lush, vibrant florals from Floriography Flowers to custom escort card horseshoes by Darling Details to a desert-themed cake by Maggie’s Wedding Cakes (which was truly a work of art in and of itself), Jacqueline and Thomas took garden party to the next level. To top it all off, heavenly bride Jacqueline had not one, but two reception looks that were seriously to die for (just peep the cowboy hat and dreamy dress details). After the rain had simmered down for a bit, we stole these newlyweds away for just a few more romantics and dang did their love shine through, even on the rainiest of days.

Cheers to all the lovers who refuse to let anything stand in the way of celebrating their new beginnings and for always finding the silver lining.
