Noticing that often weddings in the desert get stuck in a category where rustic, arid design elements rule the show, photographer Tyler Rye + the designers at Forevermore Events aimed to take this editorial - styled for Tyler's latest workshop - to new heights by channeling a more soft + romantic European vibe. By incorporating pastel gray tones and muted colors, along with a beautiful flowing dress by Rue De Seine from The Dress Theory, the team was able to stage something new + inspirational amid the stunning red rocks of Utah's Zion National Park...

The paper goods, by Alex Obering Design, depict a desert scene in the prettiest of ways.

The bouquet by Bloomers really juxtaposes a desert vibe (with that giant air plant) with a more romantic feel (thanks to the delicate, white filler blooms).

One of the stars of the show: that air plant topped ombre cake by Sweet Cakes!
