willowby by watters

an overcast sky and a mountainous backdrop.
with champagne close by and flowers at hand,
you sealed your fate right there in the arid sand.

a big deal to be married.
a time to celebrate life,
for you’ve held a lot of titles, but none so precious as wife!

dancing, popping bubbly, walking hand in hand down the deserted road,
with a heart so full you’re certain it will explode.

happily ever after under the new mexico sun,
your next exciting chapter... well, it's just begun.

it's official, we won’t be getting over this relaxed elopement in the organ mountains desert peaks national monument anytime soon. #aandbabe johana and patrick put their personal touch on every detail of their intimate desert elopement, from the eccentrically colored dried florals to their mini flower petal wedding cake, these two brought pops of color… and champagne to their lively new mexico elopement.

johana wore ‘thistle’ by willowby for this joyous occasion. the gown’s chiara lace bodice was complimented by soft spaghetti straps and a plunging v-neckline. the bronze lining of this ivory lace wedding dress made the dotted netting and embroidery stand out with ease. adding to this already stunning lace bodice, thistle by willowby’s full layered tulle skirt had a whimsical impact with a wind-blown wedding look as johana ventured into rocky plains close to their unique ceremony site. with white bridal sandals and her witnesses in neutrals and bright colors, johana and patrick's wedding day style could best be described as a quirky desert minimony full of love. the couple’s planner found it to be “palm springs in the desert” and we couldn’t agree more. a romantically retro wedding with mid-century modern details and bright bold colors. cool, contemporary, and distinctly johana and patrick.
