Surrounded by flowers - Lex and Brantz's fairytale elopement in the Utah mountains

I’m excited to share this new blog post featuring Gracefully Bloomed.

“When I say that I want to use flowers to create for a fairytale, a dream, for poetry and melody come to life this is what I mean.” Aubrey, faux floral designer + owner at Gracefully Bloomed.

Aubrey and I had been dreaming and discussing the idea of a styled elopement shoot together for quite a while now. Her goal was to create a source of inspiration for artsy brides-to-be, particularly those who find joy and beauty in the great outdoors.

Aubrey created the most magical styled shoot, meant to help the brides envision themselves on their elopement day surrounded by flowers while wearing a whimsical wedding dress.

Bride Lex is wearing our Allison wedding dress. Allison is a A-line silhouette wedding dress, with off the shoulder sleeves, one-of-a-kind 3D floral beaded lace on the mesh top and cascading down on the skirt, buttons in the back. Silk chiffon panels in pastel hues that easily flow in the wind, are adding an extra layer of magic to the Allison gown. It’s why Aubrey picked Allison wedding dress for this styled elopement shoot.

Aubrey is a floral designer based in Utah, but she also designs and creates bridal bouquets and arrangements for brides across US. The most exciting aspect of her creations is that her bouquets are faux floral. It’s hard to believe! They are simply perfect for the brides who choose to elope anywhere around the world!
