Wedding Inspo - Pampas Grass

We’ve always had a soft spot for that soft, flowy, ever so subtlety-netural toned plant known as pampas grass, so when this pretty little plant started to take off in the wedding world, we were absolutely thrilled to capture it even more!

Originating from Southern American countries including Chile, Argentina, and Brazil, pampas grass was first introduced to the United States in Santa Barbara, California in the mid 1800s. And while this plant can sometimes push out other vegetation, it still manages to be extremely beautiful, unique, and very photogenic. Besides its common golden-yellow hue, pampas grass can also grow in colors from silvery-white to a soft pink (two shades that we want to see up close and personal).

Over the past few seasons, we’ve seen more brides and grooms take advantage of this versatile plant in their wedding decor. From using it as an accents in bridal bouquets and boutonnieres to subtlety placing it in reception centerpieces to adorning floral headpieces with it to letting it take center stage in both ceremony arches and aisle arrangements, the range of of what pampas grass can do truly seems unlimited!

We have a feeling that this interesting plant is here to stay for a few more seasons (and hopefully forever in the wedding world) and honestly we can’t wait to see what our couples do with it next. Long live pampas grass and all the bohemian vibes it encompasses on wedding days!

Conner + Laura, a Winter Wedding at Los Poblanos

We closed off our 2019 season at our home away from home & the always magical Los Poblanos with long time sweethearts, Conner and Laura! From their beautiful nuptials at the historic San Felipe de Neri Church, in the heart of Old Town, to the absolute PARTY they threw at Los Poblanos, this magical winter day was absolute perfection.

Long before they said “I Do”, Conner and Laura met in high school right here in Albuquerque. Laura always had a little crush on Conner, who shared the same friend group with her, but nothing came of it until they both attended the University of New Mexico. Conner finally admitted that the crush vibes were mutual and they’ve been together ever since (a little over 8 years to be exact!). After college, and a few years of long distance love, these two landed jobs in Portland, Oregon where they now work for the same digital/social media company! To round off their already amazing relationship, Conner proposed at Los Poblanos in October of 2018 with not only a ring, but a puppy too (!).

Their pretty November day had a ton of subtle, genuine touches and intentional details. They chose to only invite people that they both knew personally to give their wedding a very intimate feel (which we adore!), and include accents that weren’t too sappy or over the top. From snowy romantics to incredibly fun bridal party moments to one of the prettiest floral installations we’ve ever seen, this day was full of so many things we love.

Conner and Laura, your day was the best way to finish off an amazing season, cheers to so many more years of love (and more puppies!).

Wedding Inspo - Los Poblanos Historic Inn and Organic Farm

Hidden away in Albuquerque’s north valley lies one of the loveliest places on earth, Los Poblanos Historic Inn and Organic Farm. Dreamy, secluded, and downright otherworldly, this beauty of a venue has quickly become the destination for not only visitors to the Land of Enchantment, but so many lovers including a ton of our brides and grooms.

Every single time we step foot on its grounds, Los Poblanos feels mysterious, beautiful, and teeming with wonder. From spring to winter, weddings here always carry an air of beguiling charm, while still feeling like a cozy home-away-from-home. We’re not sure if the endless garden options for ceremonies or all the little hidden spots we’ve discovered for romantics over the years, but this lavender farm certainly lives up to all of its expectations. And with its amazing wedding day staff, complete with our gal pal Chelsea Martinez as Wedding Coordinator, Los Poblanos is nothing short of an absolute dream come true.

Rain or shine, we’ve captured some of the sweetest, most intimate, tear-worthy moments with some of the most amazing couples around at Los Poblanos. We can’t wait to be back at this stunner of a location many many times this wedding season!!!
