How To Incorporate Old Western Elegance Into Your Wedding Decor

Who knew old western elements could translate so seamlessly into a modern design? This styled shoot is so cool girl-meets-southwestern elegance and we are here for it!  Designed and captured by AMA by Aisha, there isn’t a single part of this juxtaposed style that we’re not crushing over. Neon lighting and fog by LG Event Entertainment and Production work to set the mood for this entire shoot, and we just love the drama that the decor from Oliver and Penelope Vintage Rentals brings to the table. Dried grasses, broody florals, and bright blooms alike from Edges Wild Studio take our breath away and give this wedding inspo its subtle, outdoorsy feel.  The same foliage was arranged in a triangular wedding altar backdrop, complete with a golden longhorn skull and flanking pampas grass, for a design like we’ve never seen before! We love the way the brides are styled with gorgeous hair and makeup from BP Artistry – one with a boho braided ponytail and the other in complementing tousled waves, and the model in white is clad in the most stunning celestial sequined gown from Unbridaled. Last, but certainly not lease, we wish we could reach through the screen to try these gourmet brigadeiro desserts from L’Atelier Du Brigadeiro. All in all, this ultra-cool event with its geometric shapes and Old Western elegance makes for some seriously hip wedding inspiration. Cheers!
