Holly Jolly Christmas Elopement
Jessica & Ryan got hitched on the most magical day of the year: Christmas!!!
These two incredible humans are both doctors so getting time off, especially in 2020, was very much a challenge for them. They found out two weeks in advance that they would have this time off together, so a Christmas Elopement it was!
They chose to get hitched at Desert Love Land at Cactus Joe’s nursery which was the most beautiful backdrop for Ryan’s first look at Jessica in her dress. Love was definitely in the air when Ryan turned around & saw his bride!
Their intimate ceremony included all of their closest people that they wanted to share this special day with. Some notable members of attendance were the couples very own fur children! We absolutely adore when pets can take part in their owners wedding day.
Next, with the nuptials happily complete, it was time to CELEBRATE with a gorgeous red velvet cake & some bubbly! Their elegant cake table featured navy blue & gold colors. The gold table & accents really showed off its glow as the sunset over the red rock mountains.
One of the many reasons we love Desert Love Land is because of the dreamy desert captured in all of the couples bridals! The weather was nice & cool with some gorgeous clouds to add to the landscape! Just feast your eyes on these frame-worthy shots:
The bouquet & boutonnière for this Christmas elopement were inspired by the holiday. We went with garnet & pine-colored florals with little pops of lighter colored blooms. In the end, the result was festive with lots of class!
There is already so many things to celebrate on Christmas & now these two hardworking doctors have an anniversary to mark the day as well! It was so rewarding to make such a special day happen, especially through all of the challenges due to the pandemic that we were facing. I could not imagine a better thing to honor on Christmas than such a resilient love!
