Combining natural + earthy tones with a modern aesthetic, the team behind this styled shoot dreamt up the most romantic Southwestern-styled wedding... In the middle of Iowa! To create the atmosphere of the Southwest without actually leaving the Midwest, the florist - Shelly Sarver Designs - created gorgeously textured bouquets, while the designer + stylist - Fern - played with blush and dusty rose hues. Adding to the overall theme, they incorporated cacti, turquoise, copper + textiles rugs, too.

Enter in the couple: Everly + Adan. Not only did the team want to capture the essence of the Southwest, but they also wanted to highlight the vibrant personalities of E + A. Since Adan is a cocktail connoisseur, he crafted a beautiful wooden drink bar that Everly decorated with cacti, fruits and pretty pots. Avenu, the planner, helped them bring it all together!

Let's travel to the Midwest for this Southwestern soirée, with all the pretty photography by Aly Carroll Photography.

How fun is this invitation suite by Pink Print Company?! Seriously loving the cactus print.

Look at those pretty blush tones + the texture on that gown from Modern Dress!

That bouquet by Shelly Sarver Designs is so dreamy...

The dusty rose/coral bridesmaid dresses are by Aimee; Ivy Boyd opted for a natural yet stunning makeup look for the ladies.

HOLY SMOKES!! This shot is INCREDIBLE.

Is this amazing, or what? All the sweet furniture rentals are from West End Salvage.

We love that Southwestern print rug!

The groom's super cool tux is by Lord Midas.

The bar that Adan crafted is pretty darn cool, especially with the hanging macramé + turquoise accents.

Such a pretty table with all the warm colors!

GORGEOUS!!
