balloon fiesta elopement

Witness the mass ascension of the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta from the desert of Corrales as the clear skies are painted with floating orbs of wonderment. Inspired by the breathtaking scene that descends upon the area each autumn, Candace Noel Events created this relaxed Southwestern elopement with the towering Sandia Mountains standing steadfast in the distance.

VINTAGE DETAILS

In contrast to the rugged sagebrush bushes, the bride looks demure in a vintage-inspired custom gown from Terese Rose Designs with a plunging neckline covered in a Victorian-lace overlay. The groom sports a bolo tie with a sterling silver clasp adorned with a turquoise stone. Colors of the landscape weave throughout the florals from the sunset roses, yellow craspedia and wisps of feathery fire red celosia.

LOVESEAT LOUNGE

Snuggle up with your new spouse in a cozy lounge setup complete with a barrel loveseat covered with plush faux fur throws and accented with cider crushed velvet and Aztec-pattened pillows. Cheers the Pendleton mugs to the start of forever filled with warm, spiked Mexican hot chocolate.
