Parrish + John, a Moody Santa Fe Rehearsal Dinner

On the night before their dreamy, rainy nuptials, sweethearts John and Parrish kicked off their wedding weekend with a moody little rehearsal dinner in the heart of Santa Fe. This sweet October evening was one that we’ll always treasure beyond belief.

Julia + Jason, a Cozy Sawmill Market Rehearsal Dinner

On the night before their dreamy Los Poblanos nuptials, sweethearts Jason and Julia kicked off their wedding weekend with the most stunning little evening at Sawmill Market in the heart of Old Town Albuquerque. These hunnies and all of their loved ones made this Friday night one of our favorites of 2023 so far.

Between the elevated vibes of West Cocktail and Wine Bar in Sawmill (just look at the decor of this incredible space) and these darlings’ unreal style (especially Julia’s divine Before by Sarah Seven dress), there was so much for us to absolutely obsess over. Jason and Julia made this beautiful evening so dang intentional, serene, and lovely, it truly was the most perfect prelude to their wedding the very next day.

We can’t wait to share even more beauty from these Alabama lovers’ weekend, stay tuned for all of the magic!

Wedding Inspo - Rehearsal Dinners

Everyone knows that the best way to kick off a dreamy wedding weekend is with a rehearsal dinner or with an even bigger welcome dinner. And, of course, our couples always take this tradition to the next freaking level.

From the Southwestern inspired fêtes in the middle of Santa Fe to the lush celebrations in Austin to partying everywhere in between, these dinners help couples not only welcome their guests, but set the mood for the entire weekend of festivities. We adore when couples use their rehearsal and welcome dinners to incorporate pops of color or unique details that are sometimes the exact opposite of their wedding day theme (a detail we’re truly obsessed with forever and ever).

We can’t wait to see what beauty our couples have in store for us next season and beyond!

Jason + Natalie, a Southwestern Rehearsal Dinner at The Pink Adobe

It’s not a secret that we became absolutely obsessed with Chicago lovers Jason and Natalie after their lovely White Sands engagement session and we just knew their wedding weekend in Santa Fe was going to be one for the books!

These two kicked off their celebration with a festive rehearsal dinner at the ever-so-quaint Santa Fe gem, The Pink Adobe. Complete with a New Mexico inspired cake by our girl Zara at Maggie’s Wedding Cakes, to custom gift bags designed by Funky Olive Designs (who used this same amazing design for Jason and Natalie’s wedding day details), to a surprise appearance by a tequila donkey, this night was just the tip of the iceberg for a truly incredible wedding weekend

We can’t wait to share Jason and Natalie’s out-of-this-world day here on the blog, but until then, feast your eyes on this perfect Santa Fe night!
