Bright Lights and Big Rides: How to Plan a Luna Park Wedding That’s Full of Colour and Fun!
AN INTIMATE WEDDING CEREMONY IN THE ARIZONA DESSERT (PSST…THERE’S A HARLEY TOO!)
This beautiful couple met working at Harley and knew they wanted to incorporate that into their love story! They said their vows in the middle of the dessert and couldn’t have been happier with their intimate ceremony, they want all couples to have the courage to do something different and think outside the box! Here’s why…
As a designer, our bride, Andrea wanted to incorporate colours on the colour wheel that were complimentary. She chose blue and orange. I love how she designed this and the pop of colour was so fun against the barren desert. Top tip brides! If you’re looking for fun pops of colour that are complementary, take a look at the colour wheel and choose colours that land directly across from one another. Use these colours as accents in your decor and design!
“We are both native to Arizona and find so much beauty in the desert. We wanted to celebrate that beauty and say our vows in the middle of the desert.” Says bride Andrea. She wanted to stick with bold colours and a Desert theme. From the adorable invites to the bold orange cake and blue bus, they had every detail planned to a t. Blue and orange are complimentary colours on the colour wheel so that was Andreas inspiration.
Vendors were chosen through references from the Photographer and via instagram and although Andrea had a huge vision for this shoot, Not much was DIY, but they did bring their Harley for getting ready photos!
Planning and timeline was coordinated by both Andrea and Amanda of ACapello Photography. ACapello Photography takes pride in being able to help their brides with their vision and recommend vendors who would fit perfectly into their dream day. This laid back couple were so excited to see their dreams come to fruition. They, like all brides and grooms, wanted everything to be perfect but they knew they were in good hands with their vendors.
They are happy they decided on a small intimate wedding ceremony in the beautiful desert and their advice for future couples would be to ‘have the courage to do something different! Think outside the box, be bold and don’t look back!’

Why I Love the Idea of an Intimate Wedding Ceremony in the Arizona Desert
There’s something absolutely magical about an intimate wedding ceremony in the Arizona desert. As a wedding blogger, I can’t help but adore the idea of a small, meaningful celebration set against the breathtaking backdrop of desert landscapes. The wide-open spaces, rugged beauty, and serene ambiance create an unforgettable setting for tying the knot.
First, let’s talk about the scenery. The Arizona desert, with its striking red rock formations, vast sandy expanses, and stunning sunsets, provides a naturally beautiful venue that requires minimal decoration. Imagine saying your vows as the sun dips below the horizon, casting a golden glow over the landscape. It’s like Mother Nature herself is giving you her blessing.
What I love most about intimate desert weddings is their authenticity. With fewer guests, the focus shifts to what truly matters: the couple and their love story. Every detail, from the handpicked flowers to the personalized vows, reflects the couple’s unique bond. It’s like writing a love letter in the sand, ephemeral yet timeless.
Moreover, the desert’s tranquility offers a perfect escape from the chaos of everyday life. The peaceful environment encourages mindfulness, allowing the couple and their guests to fully immerse themselves in the moment. There’s something incredibly grounding about being surrounded by the vast, silent beauty of the desert, making it an ideal setting for such a profound commitment.
From a practical perspective, intimate desert weddings are often more flexible and less stressful to plan. With a smaller guest list, couples can splurge on elements that matter most to them, whether it’s a gourmet meal, a fabulous photographer, or unique entertainment. Plus, the natural setting means less need for elaborate decor, allowing nature’s beauty to shine.
Symbolically, the desert represents resilience and enduring love. Just as life thrives in the harshest conditions, an intimate wedding in the Arizona desert symbolizes a love that withstands all challenges. It’s a powerful reminder that love, like the desert, is both beautiful and enduring.
In conclusion, intimate wedding ceremonies in the Arizona desert are a perfect blend of natural beauty, heartfelt authenticity, and serene tranquility. They offer a unique and deeply personal way to celebrate love, surrounded by the awe-inspiring landscape of one of nature’s most majestic creations. For a wedding blogger who cherishes unique and meaningful celebrations, desert weddings are an inspiring testament to the beauty of love in its purest form.
Great shoot
