The understated elegance of Amangiri , in the heart of Canyon Point, Utah, served as the source of inspiration for Laramy and Jon’s wedding. The Southwestern-themed celebration wouldn’t have been complete without Navajo flutes playing as Laramy walked down the aisle with her father or the incredible beauty of the Grand Canyon in the distance. Photographer David of Chris Bailey Photography captured the festive day, including the smallest details and the bride’s larger-than-life smile!

The Couple:

Laramy and Jon

The Wedding:

Amangiri , Canyon Point, Utah

The Inspiration:

I would say our wedding evolved into a Southwestern theme inspired by the natural beauty of our surroundings (Utah/Grand Canyon) and the eclectic nature of our family/friends. I wanted everyone to dress to reflect their own personalities.

The Moments:

After Jade (the mayor/officiant) announced husband and wife, chaos erupted. My father started shooting pistols, my sister started balling, friends were cheering. It was so much fun, I later passed out in my dinner plate.

This Southwestern inspired styled shoot comes by way of Hampshire, England where bohemian spirit comes out to play when the warmth of spring encourages bare feet, woodland adventures, and flowers tucked into loose braids. My Wedding Fair created a forest wedding scene with mixed vintage and new pieces, perfectly capturing the beauty of 2015 bohemian style wedding celebrations. The off-the-shoulder Hayley Paige gown transformed the model into an inexplicably boho bride.

Here’s what Kimberly Spiers of My Wedding Fair had to say about the inspiration behind the shoot:

The low warm glowing sunsets of spring inspires the inner bohemia in all. With the need to take of your shoes, become at one with nature and let the soft glow of the emerging sunshine warm our skin. This inspired our indoor/out shoot. With a relaxed forest living vibe, with aged chairs and rugs laid on the forest teamed with fresh pretty Spring bloom and mismatch textures.

The bride wears “Odessa” by Hayley Paige Blush. The gown offers an alternative for those brides who would like “pretty bohemia,” with the ability to accessories to create an edge, or left simple to show off it’s soft beauty. We team the gown with suede boots to offer an alternative to the “classic” wedding shoe.

We touch on 2015 styling and catering trends, with a forest bake sale surrounded by mismatch props and a coquembouche for the wedding cake. We also raided the charity shops for an electic mix of goodies to team with an abundance of textures to give the shoot depth and create “easy to replicate” styling ideas.

Flowers, direct from our wonderful florists mouth: I chose a rich jewell-like colour palette and used an eclectic mix of flowers to give real depth to the bouquet and to showcase how dark flowers can create the most beautiful yet dramatic wedding bouquet. Using the shape, texture and form of the different flowers helped create, what I hope is an interesting yet delicate look. Stems of twisted willow & trailing Asparagus Fern helped to give the bouquet a feeling of movement and added a touch of rustic-chic. Flowers used: Ranunculus, Stocks, Lovely Rococco Spray Roses, Wild Look roses, Clematis, Dark Chocolate Callas, Ammi Visnaga, contorted Willow, Asparagus Fern.

What three adjectives best describe your wedding? Relaxed, Intimate, DIY

What inspired your personal wedding style, and how did you incorporate your style and personalities into your big day? Music had to be an integral component of the celebration – that much we knew for sure. Paul and I met at Berklee College of Music and both of us have found careers in the music industry in one capacity or another.

I spent a lot of time building the ultimate ceremony and dance playlists on Spotify (I work there) and melting 75 vinyl record bowls for table markers and wedding favors. We rallied our friends to bring their instruments to play during the wedding. The vinyl sleeves were used as invitation liners and the vinyl covers we had screen printed with our program. During the ceremony, Paul and I performed our own rendition of Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zero’s “Home “.

Looking back, what are the moments, decisions or memories that you love the most about your wedding? Everyone’s eagerness to help make our day a special occasion truly touched our hearts.

As it is for many people, the wedding was a total coming together of family and friends. Paul’s brother Erik’s girlfriend Midori made the invitations and save the dates and designed the programs. My sister cut and surged 75 napkins. I melted all of the record bowls for favors and decorations (yarn signs and yarn balls) were done with the help of friends. String lights were flown-in from Christmas trees around the country. Paul and I hand-made our wedding rings with the help of a family friend and artist that does metal casting.

The Monday before the wedding all of our family and closest friends helped us bake 12 pies for dessert! The ovens started smoking really bad and we had stop all pie-making operations to cool, then clean the ovens before baking them. It was also 97+ degrees outside and we had to air out the house. It was an all-day operation and a definite labor of love.

On the wedding day, our friend Lauren gave us a morning yoga class to start the day off right. It was a group DIY effort, for sure.
