intimate fall elopement

From Kristina Lynn Photography & Design – “Fall is by far my favorite season. I love the colors, the crisp air and of course the apple cider – everything! So when Angela from Bella Lu Floral contacted me with a great idea for a fall wedding styled shoot of course I said yes!

She had been dreaming of a couple walking down a gorgeous leaf aisle, saying ‘I Do’ under an archway of trees and celebrating at a beautiful harvest table and so that’s what we set out to create.”

From Kristina Lynn Photography & Design – “Angela’s vision was all about an intimate elopement in the Colorado outdoors. She designed a beautiful aisle made of fallen leaves, an altar decorated with hanging florals, and a harvest table to die for.

Keeping with the fall theme, Angela wanted to bring in lots of texture and color so she paired rattan place mats with crisp white place settings and a lush centerpiece made up of rich autumn colored florals in a wooden bowl to decorate the harvest table. I designed the menu and place cards, which incorporated a script style font for a little bit of elegance and printed on linen card stock to add in some texture.”

“Carrying the intimate elopement idea through the bride and groom’s attire was important as well. Angela wanted them to be stylish but not stuffy. The groom wore gray slacks, a crisp white shirt, brown suspenders and a stylish bow tie. I loved his boutonniere that incorporated a fall leaf into the design!

The bride wore a beautiful handmade dress designed by Maggie Evans Designs. I loved the ruffled neckline that gave it some style without being too over-the-top for the outdoor setting. It’s very common for a bride to change her hairstyle from a structured updo to something more casual after the ceremony and we wanted to play off that idea as well so Angela designed a gorgeous floral crown that went beautifully with the bride’s loose curl look.”
