Rocky Elegance in St. George, Utah

When Pantone announced Rose Quartz as one of their Colors of the Year, you know all the wedding people jumped for joy to carry on the color of blush, pinks, champagnes and gold into this up coming wedding season.

I did a collaboration with Mckenzi with M. Felt Photography. She had this amazing location picked out in St. George, and I was completely breathless when we did the site visit. The juxtaposition of the soft gowns and florals, soft fabrics and colors, against the mossy boulders, black rocks and dwarfing bluffs made this not only a styled shoot, but one an artist’s eye could appreciate!

We incorporated the soft romantic blushes and pinks of the season in the wedding gowns made by Janay Marie, with the lush bouquet by Bloomers and the soft sweetheart table that picked up on the green of the landscape.

We showcased a detailed lace and beaded gown with a blush lining- it brought on a vintage nostalgia you only see in black and white old photos, and then we went modern with the organza skirt and lace top. The talent this designer has is impeccable, one of a kind, and simply sweet.

Our hair and make up team, Kelli Miller and Julie Thomas at Blow Beauty took our model to a glamorous level all brides should have on their big day. I told them what I was looking for and they delivered, plus more!! The lovely natural look with that pop of berry on the lip made our Mallary shine and elevate in the photos, and the braided and gathered look of the hair by Julie was unique and beautiful and really played well with the gowns.

We incorporated an amazing cake by Cupcakes by Julie, in which the bottom was chocolate, yes pure chocolate and the top was painted with wispy pinks and accented with gold and fresh flowers. I put together a wonderful sweetheart tray full of fruit, cheese, golden raisins, crackers and chocolate dipped stroopwafels dusted with gold. Cirkels makes the yummiest stroopwafels around!

My sweetheart table is a mix of gold, copper, vintage goblets and plates, and soft chiffon and champagne fabrics. Kathy at Bloomers allowed me to pick my containers for this vintage inspired gathered table arrangement, and her floral design was to die for. She totally picked up on my vision, what a florist and a wedding planner relationship should always be!

I was also able to work with St George Party rentals on this who supplied the chairs and a talented videographer, Dustin Miller with Red Tie Cinema will be treating us to a wonderful video of this styled set.
