For Emily & Michael’s big day, pops of pink floral and baby’s breath paired with wooden furniture and burlap created a rustic waterfront wedding.
The nuptials took place in at a private residence on a waterfront dock. The aisle was marked with large lanterns and small bunches of baby’s breath in mason jars. With the Colorado River as the backdrop, the bride only used 2 wine barrels with tall floral arrangements to decorate the ceremony. Instead of signing a guestbook, guests signed river rocks for this rustic waterfront wedding. Wooden signs with calligraphy noting “Let Love Glow” and “Gifts & Cards” added to the theme of the rustic waterfront wedding. Reception tables were decorating with a burlap runner and various floral bouquets and small glass and gold vases. Pops of pink flowers brought in color for this fall wedding.

From the photographer: Surrounded by their closest friends and family Michael and Emily said their I do’s at a family member’s home with the Colorado River as their backdrop. These two love spending time there with their family, so a Colorado River wedding wasn’t a hard choice.
