DESERT WEDDING IDEAS FOR A WESTERN DISCO WEDDING THEME
a destination desert wedding where the carefree spirit of the wild west combines with the glitz and glamour of a disco dance floor. this is the exact vision of #aandbabe kate and doug! their western disco desert wedding in arizona had elements of rustic charm, relaxed moments, and a chic cowgirl aesthetic.
relaxed wedding morning coffee
before the festivities of their big day began, kate and doug took the morning to spend time together over coffee. kate shares, “the day was beyond anything i imagined. it started with my future hubby and i grabbing coffee near our hotel in paradise valley, az. we had a nice chat together before his groomsmen took him to brunch at a nearby brewery at 9am.”
how to save money on wedding photography
in an effort to cut back on their wedding photography budget, kate and doug opted to not have photos taken as they got ready. when reflecting on the day, kate thought that this decision helped with the overall laidback feel of their wedding morning. with mimosas in hand and her favorite in-n-out burger delivered for lunch, kate enjoyed the time she got to spend bonding with her bridal crew before their ceremony!
nude lace wedding dress with removable bridal sleeves
kate’s bridal look can best be described as elegant and original with a hint of cowgirl flair! our denver, colorado bridal shop’s rue de seine collection stood out to kate. intrigued by the interesting mix of embroidery and delicate laces, rue’s subtle western accents were reminiscent of the desert flora their day would include.
pairing rue de seine’s ‘austin’ lace dress with ‘ever sleeves’, kate created an adventurous wedding look that was one-of-a-kind. austin’s sienna color perfectly contrasted with the floral lace motifs scattered throughout the dress. the gown’s structural and supportive design varied from the flowing removable chiffon sleeves, creating effortless dimension and visual interest.
desert wedding reception ideas
following their ceremony, guests headed to the reception space where they were greeted by a custom luggage tag seating chart. other details that added to the enchanting reception atmosphere included disco balls, marquee lights, and more. the reception venue’s lights were dimmed and string lights were wrapped around several structures and hung from the ceiling.
as the sun set over the desert horizon, kate and doug watched as their disco balls and lighting created a dazzling display for their guests to dance the night away under. kate couldn’t help but soak in the magic of having all their loved ones with them for this special occasion. “the night was a dream under the starry skies, surrounded by cacti, living in a dream with our loved ones. i cried like 6 times the next day because i couldn't get over how perfect the day was.”
