Sunset in the Joshua Tree National Park turned out to be the most magical time to shoot these desert bride ideas! The stunning film portraits of Jeremy Chou Photography and the stunning video by Robert Michael Films capture the golden light of evening as the sky begins to turn over the rolling hills and golden sand of Southern California. Views of Coachella and the Mojave Desert make this spot the perfect location to shoot the most stunning desert bride in gorgeous gowns by Allison Webb NYC!
Styling for a desert bride
The colors of the desert – sunbaked sand, terra cotta, and golden light inspired the beautiful invitations and elopement announcement by Milk & Paper Co.
Although the stunning wedding dresses by Allison Webb have the sort of classic grace and vintage elegance you’d expect to see in her hometown of New York, this bridal shoot proves that they’re equally captivating on a desert bride!
The stunning ‘Filmore’ dress by Allison Webb showcased the ivory layered lace V-neck dress with scalloped lace details and a detachable sheer lace chapel train.
The key to this minimalist wedding inspiration comes down to three key elements – setting, light, and bride! Adding in a throne for this queen was a natural next step – the rattan peacock chair from Circa Rentals was the perfect choice to feel organic in the desert setting!
In keeping with the beauty of the desert, Chiali Meng Artistry wanted to let the bride’s beauty shine! She kept Janelle Fletcher’s natural curls at the center of the look, embracing neutral shades for lip and eye color to tie in with the desert portrait setting.
The delicately beaded neckline on the ‘Emberly’ dress was echoed the gorgeous cluster ring from Trumpet & Horn. The simple wedding dress combined a fitted silk silhouette with detachable puffed sleeves to add a striking and unexpected detail!
Jovial Floral Co. drew on the desert hues for a lush bridal bouquet, with toffee roses and fall leaves to add brown tones to blush flowers, with sand and taupe alongside the greenery.
