The Decor. Arizona Desert Ranch Wedding From Carrie Patterson Fine Art Weddings. The backdrop of the DC Ranch in Scottsdale, Arizona, is a stunning landscape for Catherine and Michael’s wedding, and we couldn’t love these photos from Carrie Patterson Fine Art Weddings any more!
Sophisticated black and khaki monogrammed invitations set the tone for a formal but fun day, with bridesmaids carrying deep rose bouquets that complemented shoes of the same color against sleek taupe dresses. Catherine carried an unexpected and pretty bouquet of blue hydrangeas as she floated down the aisle in a strapless gown that starts simply at the top before giving way to a full ruffled skirt. For the reception, a stone patio covered in strung lights is a romantic spot for dinner and dancing. More hydrangeas and roses mix for bold centerpieces on the tables.

The Nashville team of Cedarwood Weddings and Kristyn Hogan created a warm, cozy atmosphere with a glamorous side using a whitewashed color palette and burlap accents.

It's easy to feel trapped in a certain kind of wedding style when you're planning a fall wedding -- you might feel bound to a wedding color palette of brick to russet to terra cotta, and that autumn leaves are a decor necessity.

We're not suggesting that you ignore the season entirely and use bright, summery colors or spring pastels; simply consider other rich and glamorous hues that fit the time of year.

Bitchy souls, at that.) … Okey dokey! Now that we’ve arrived safely in Looneytown on this fine Monday afternoon, we can get going! And, BEGIN: Happy Monday afternoon, pretty faces!
