LOCAL LOVE STORIES

Sarah + Justin

9.16.2023

Working with Sarah and Justin in preparation for their wedding was a dream come true! As a couple, they wanted to showcase their love of adventure, fun, and {{of course}} each other. They selected a venue with stunning mountain views as the backdrop and wanted light, airy, and bright florals to express their personalities and love story. As the decor company, our role became how to make these dreams a reality. In close collaboration with Sarah, as well as the florist, we opted for subtle glass, mirrors, lots of romantic lighting, and touches of metals to help those vibrant colors pop! The florals were showcased through cascading arrangements within gold compote vases, delicately featured in antique bud vases, and surrounding the cake in a stunning cake meadow. Elegant mirrors and signs welcomed guests and invited them to take part in the joy and love surrounding them. With a beautifully lit reception, guests danced and celebrated this next great adventure for Sarah and Justin.

a celebration; it’s a transformation.

It’s the moment ordinary becomes extraordinary, traditional becomes personalized, and love, well, love becomes a shared memory for all of your friends and family to experience. This isn’t an article about weddings, but a testament to the artistry behind an elevated wedding; every embroidered veil, each custom invitation, and the perfectly curated florals. It’s a celebration of local businesses, where craftsmanship is poured into the molds of personalized rings and custom gifts. It’s about the little moments, the grand celebrations, and every detail in between.

Turn the pages to embark on an odyssey where every aspect of your nuptials can be elevated beyond the ordinary. You have dreamed, planned, and imagined. Now it’s time to let the artisans and visionaries bring your ideas to life.

Brace yourself to be captivated. To be inspired. To elevate your day.

How a curated culinary experience elevates your wedding day

#1. A personalized culinary experience

A curated charcuterie spread, showcases your favorite flavors, textures, and culinary traditions. Each element is carefully selected to delight the palate and reflect your unique taste. But it’s not just about the food – presentation is key. The visual appeal of the charcuterie spread is a work of art that doubles as a stunning centerpiece at the reception.

#2. Feature local and seasonal ingredients

One of the hallmarks of a truly memorable culinary experience is the use of fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Incorporating local and seasonal offerings into your charcuterie spread not only adds depth of flavor but also supports local farmers and artisans. Guests

Samantha Cherie Photography

will appreciate the opportunity to savor the flavors of the region on your special day.

#3. An interactive dining experience

One of the greatest benefits of serving charcuterie at your wedding is its interactive nature. Unlike traditional plated dinners, this encourages guests to mingle, sample, and savor a variety of flavors and textures. Setting up a grazing table allows guests to customize their dining experience, selecting their favorite meats, cheeses, and accompaniments.

The Bougie Brie is a female-owned local business providing the very best in charcuterie for your event. From weddings to any type of party, Kammy and Colleen can create an incredible spread with the best New Mexico has to offer. It’s your day, be bougie!

What are your top tips to help couples plan an elevated elopement?

#1. Include the things you love to do together

Include something that you and your partner love to do. You don’t have to stick to the “norm” by any means. This could be something as simple as soaking in a hot tub together the morning of your elopement, a more adventurous activity like horseback riding or even just stopping by a local brewery to grab a drink.

#2. Invite someone special to officiate for you

Your officiant is a pivotal aspect of your day. Include the people you love by having a family member or friend officiate your ceremony. They are going to be in photos and sign your marriage license, why not have someone you know be the one who does this!

#3. Be present with who you want to be there

Invite whoever YOU want. Your elopement could be just the two of you, or you could bring along a handful of your favorite people. Whatever makes the most sense for the two of you. If you are inviting guests, you could also consider reading vows privately before your ceremony to have a more intimate moment before standing with everyone.

Crystal Cousin Photo is your ultimate adventure elopement companion. Based in New Mexico with a love for travel, Crystal is ready to document your unique love story in the most epic locations. Whether you’re scaling mountains, exploring deserts, or simply enjoying a quiet moment together, Crystal is there to capture every breathtaking moment of your journey.

What are the best ways to elevate bridal attire?

#1. Standout in a bridal jumpsuit or pant suit

A modern approach to bridal attire is to opt for a nontraditional jumpsuit or pant suit. These can be tailored to fit perfectly, be simple or elaborate with lace. You can add flair with a jeweled or sequin belt for some sparkle or style it with turquoise jewelry to interlace a modern look with New Mexican culture.

#2. Give new life to a vintage dress or accessories

For a truly sustainable and unique look, a vintage wedding dress is the perfect option! Elicit nostalgia by choosing a one-of-akind vintage dress or customize your dress by taking vintage pieces, such as lace from your grandmothers veil, and having a local seamstress customize your bridal attire. Create a new tradition while celebrating

your heritage and family history.

#3.

Be radical with colors and embroidered elements

A dramatic way to elevate your bridal attire and to show your individual style is to wear a dress in an unconventional color. Color can be added to a traditional white dress with a splash of colorful details. Love color, but don’t want to commit to the whole dress? Try adding a veil with colorful embroidered elements!

#1. Set the tone of your wedding with florals

Florals set the tone and curate the aesthetic for your wedding . Whether you are envisioning a romantic garden affair or a chic modern celebration, floral arrangements bring your vision to life. Consider soft pastel blooms for a romantic and whimsical feel, or bold, vibrant flowers to add energy to your event.

#2. Make a statement with awe-inspiring pieces

For couples looking to make a statement with their wedding decor, dramatic installations are the way to go. From breathtaking arches to stunning floral chandeliers, these show-stopping pieces add a touch of grandeur and sophistication to any venue.

#3. Highlight key features with florals

How to celebrate yourself through boudoir

#1. For your eyes only, gift a book to your partner

Give your partner an album of your boudoir shoot for only them to look at. This is an exciting one-of-a-kind wedding gift! Make it themed with a blue cover and title it ‘Something Blue’ or for the photoshoot make sure to bring your veil or garter to feature in the photos. Wanna spice it up a little more? Order a small white cake and use that as one of the props! The options are endless!

#2. Stay true to yourself: embrace individuality

The beautiful thing about boudoir is that it is not defined as one thing. Some people have a certain idea of what boudoir photography is ‘supposed’ to look like. The most important tip when it comes to boudoir photos is stay true to yourself.

#3. Do it for you, it is your wedding day, too!

An amazing way to surprise your partner is through boudoir, but if you decided to take the photos for them, no one else can experience the photoshoot except for YOU. Just from the experience alone, without having received the photos, women grow a new kind of confidence in our sessions that flourishes and shines even after leaving the photoshoot.

Siren & Muse Boudoir Photography is based out of Albuquerque, New Mexico. She recognizes there are many reasons that give you the confidence to step into the world of boudoir photography. You may want to be the muse for another’s gaze, but a siren has a call of her own that brings her into the shoot for just herself.

A dream wedding come true! This beautiful military couple that lives in the Midwest chose to return to New Mexico to take their vows as husband and wife amongst their friends, family, the mountains and scenery of Albuquerque. Their planning process was full of fun, laughter, and joyous memories getting to pick their dream team vendors, designing the wedding, picking out each detail, and making their dreams come to life. The best part about being a wedding planner is the relationships and friendships that you form with your couples. Getting to see them take that step and exchange vows is such a fulfilling and emotional experience. It’s a bittersweet feeling at the end of the wedding day when the reception ends and you hug your couple’s goodbye as they leave, but my couples become lifelong friendships that carry on past their planning journey!

Sara + Alex

10.8.2022

Capturing Sara and Alex’s love-filled day was an absolute honor! Their intimate wedding radiated pure love, with a small party and countless special moments – including heartfelt notes to one another, exchanging special gifts before saying ‘I do.’ and the emotional first look. Every detail, from the color-coordinated cornhole game to the delectable desserts and stunning floral accents, was meticulously crafted. The maid of honor was a true gift, doubling as both a professional photographer and the bride’s best friend, she ensured the day ran smoothly and beautifully. Here’s to a lifetime of happiness and many more sweet moments for this incredible couple!

Sophia + Jerome

When Sophia and Jerome reached out to me to start planning their gorgeous fall wedding, I knew we were bound to create magic together. They dreamed of a rustic, romantic wedding, that highlighted their sheer love for each other, their families, and a stunning New Mexican skyline. Blame Her Ranch was the most ideal location for their vision, which also complimented my warm, rustic, and moody style of editing. Together, we captured the full essence of their love story, in the most beautiful and intimate way, not missing any of the details. This cozy fall wedding was simply immaculate, intentional, and could not have been more perfect.
