The Hermosa Inn Wedding: Blaise + Cal

Their October Arizonian celebration was the ultimate desert themed wedding at The Hermosa Inn. The chollas framed many of their romance portraits, the desert landscapes were the highlights to the wedding decorations and the details were carefully crafted.

Cal’s bridal hairpiece was handmade.

Her wedding dress looked gorgeous framed in the Hermosa Inn’s door.

Blaise reminded me of a roaring 20’s groom. The groom’s mustache and bow-tie complimented one-another really well.

I love when couples decide to do a first look, that means double the amount of romance couple portraits!

I love the natural elements framing the bride while she walks down the aisle with her father.

Blaise and Cal held banners hung from a mesquite tree for their ceremony decorations. They gifted their guests confetti poppers for when they proclaimed husband and wife.

While I was editing their romance portraits after the ceremony I was swooning over how romantic they were. Thank you Hermosa Inn for your beautiful desert landscape.

Hermosa Inn had some pretty Arizonian red rocks that accentuated the bridal bouquet. Notice the bride’s pheasant feathers in her bouquet?

Blaise and Cal offered bug repellent at each reception table.

They labeled each Arizonian reception table after a desert plant.
