Jonathan + Jocelyn, a Colorful Hotel Andaluz Wedding

New Mexico sweethearts Jocelyn and Jonathan tied the knot way back in 2020 amid the pandemic, but these two decided to celebrate their new chapter with all of their loved ones this spring at Hotel Andaluz in the heart of Albuquerque. These babes brought in the perfect mix of whimsical garden details and edgy downtown views to this little March day.

Even though it wasn’t quite springtime, these two wanted to incorporate bright florals and soft details into their day and the floral angels at Floriography Flowers made that dream into the most wonderful reality. From Jocelyn’s bright bouquet to the plantable floral arrangements throughout the reception, every sign of spring was definitely present at this cutie celebration.

On top of such stellar florals, Jonathan and Jocelyn also incorporated so much of their family, including their new little baby, into their day making for the sweetest of nuptials. They finished off their amazing day with a whole night of dancing and food, truly making their intimate wedding a party for everyone involved.

Cheers to all the whimsical weddings and lovers to come!

Andrew + Deanna, a Stellar Hotel Andaluz Wedding Reception

Even though Andrew and Deanna officially tied the knot in 2020, they finally got to party with all of their loved ones last fall and it was the sweetest fall evening. This downtown celebration was such a special, beautiful day to capture.

These lovers initially held their wedding in fall of 2020 with a beautiful Catholic church ceremony, the dreamiest golden hour romantic,s and then an intimate reception with a tiny group of their closest friends and family members. Flash forward a year later and these babes finally got to hold the amazing wedding bash that they had always dreamed of. Deanna and Andrew incorporated so many of their original wedding details and personal touches into their reception and we truly loved every piece of it. From Deanna’s tiny bridal heirlooms to Floral Fetish’s gorgeous creations to Darling Details’ impeccable reception design, this October day was just as special as the first time we got to see these lovebirds say “I do”.

We can’t wait to see Andrew and Deanna’s love story continue to grow over the years to come, thank you for bringing us along on your little adventure angels!!

Wedding Inspo - Dogs in Weddings

When it comes to weddings and elopements, there’s one guest we adore above all: dogs. We are absolutely smitten each time one of our couples includes their sweet fur babies in their special day and always have to squeeze in a few extra photos (and pets) with them.

No matter the type of wedding, we truly believe that including dogs should be a YES every single time. From the biggest, most elegant days to the quieter, more intimate nuptials, pups really do make everything that much more fun and exciting. We love seeing these precious furry angels ‘get ready’ with their parents, be a part of the ceremony, and (of course) be the star of any and all portraits.

If you’re on the fence about including your pups in your wedding or elopement, this is your sign to do it and to bring us with you!!

Every year, we dedicate a special blog to all of the amazing dudes we get to meet on wedding and elopement days and, of course, take the opportunity feature their killer style.

With all of the changes to weddings in 2020, its no surprise that so many of our grooms opted for unique style choices. Whether it was a pastel blue suit, a simple yet breezy dress shirt paired with slacks, a sleek camel coat with boots, or even a classic black tux, all of the stellar outfit choices these handsome fellas made did not disappoint one bit.

We adore getting to see grooms express their personalities on wedding days, even if its through a simple attire choice, we’re beyond hyped to see what 2021 grooms have in store for us!
