Where the Sonoran desert meets whimsical on a wedding day, Hytched Weddings & Events designed an exceptional organic whimsical wedding at The Boulders in Northern Scottsdale, Arizona. It is with great joy to announce that this Boulders‘s Wedding Inspiration was featured on a national blog today: 100 Layer Cake. My creative and team and I would personally like to thank Jillian from 100 Layer Cake for this opportunity!

Natasha from Hytched Weddings & Events shares her inspiration behind the wedding shoot at the The Boulders: “This shoot was inspired by tidbits of fairytales and gothic princess dreams, with an “up, up, and away” feel. … This unique landscape features huge rocks, rolling hills and mountains, and breathtaking views. Adding a punch of vintage always plays up a fairytale-type concept, and the trunks, books, tea set, furniture, and typewriter did just that…”

Sean and Christiana are a real-life dating couple who spent the afternoon with us as models. We are so grateful for their time and getting to know them personally. “(The) groom is relaxed yet classic in a not-quite-navy suit with a marsala bowtie with white polka dots. “

A hand written ink wedding invitation and Silk and Willow ribbon for details from Paper and Posies? Yes, please.

Oh, and this gorgeous bridal bouquet for the shoot by Juliet Le Fleur…

Oh, Christina…stunning!

Look at this darling handwritten note…

I absolutely love seeing newlyweds walk hand-in-hand on the wedding day, a true symbol of them taking this journey of life together.

The majestic rocks at The Boulders offers a married couple scenes of rawness and intimacy.

The Boulders Resort & Spa also provides a wedding couple a whimsical, wild, and “untamed nature in its purest form” for their wedding photos.

Her dress…how deep and how far the love of the desert goes.

Her hair… Disney Frozen wedding hair anyone?

“The groom was dressed in a dark blue, not-quite-navy suit with a matching vest, white button down, marsala bow tie with white polka dots, and timeless tan and wine ombre oxfords.”

Hand-drawn ink calligraphy name cards look timeless.

A love letter sealed with a golden wax on cloth paper is an organic touch to gift your spouse.

A local vintage photo booth company showcased their van for the shoot. If you are looking for a cozy Arizona photo booth The Foto Booth Bus is the team for you!

When couple’s opt to do a first-look (see each other before the ceremony) they get to join their guests for part of cocktail hour, which means gorgeous lit photo booth photos.

“This inspiration shoot is perfect for dreamers, artists, and anyone who fancies themselves a creative.” Hytched Weddings & Events created name cards to be displayed on vintage drawer chest.

Wedding dessert stations are a sweet idea to jazz up your wedding and offer your guests a variety of delicious options. Hytched Weddings & Events vision for this shoot: “The purpose of this photoshoot is to inspire couples to plan a ‘fairytale’ wedding that doesn’t follow the traditional and societal norms. Fairytale does not have to mean perfect golden blonde hair and and crystal chandeliers. Everyone has their own perception of a theme or concept, and this was my take on whimsical. I love to play with masculine design touches, and this shoot really reflects that. We are trying to communicate to couples that they can break all the rules and still plan a wedding that will delight and surprise their guests… not to mention one that will photograph beautifully and remain classic for years to come.”

Natasha from Hytched Weddings & Events included the following items to create this whimsical design: an adorable yellow upholstered chair, tea pots, an Orphan Barrel bourbon-infused tea display, an enchanting light blue typewriter, yummy pastries including a chocolate croissant, blueberry pie bar, and The Henry’s signature Salted Caramel Rolls.

A fanciful round cake covered with rainbow dot sprinkles by La Grande Orange completes a fairytale wedding.

Touches of “organic wildflower arrangements featuring golden red apples and blue thistle” alludes to our Disney star princesses.

The whimsical theme wedding is perfect for the Bride and Groom who were fans of growing up with Disney fairytales! To all those future Brides and Grooms happy wedding planning!
