Old-world vintage wedding ideas for the modern bride

This stunning shoot by Alabama Wedding Photographer ALISHA CROSSLEY epitomises romance in a modern vintage way. Teaming up with MANDY MARIE CREATIVE, the duo chose Scottsdale venue EL CHORRO – known for its pristine gardens and picturesque view of Camelback mountain – to set the scene. The venue's grounds feel like an estate and the historic Spanish architecture provided the perfect backdrop for any ceremony or reception. 

The intimate ceremony was framed by guests who wore all white as the soft south-west sun set behind Camelback Mountain. The bride’s gown was provided by CARRIAGE HOUSE, a sought after bridal boutique in the South. The gown, designed by SAREH NOURI, featured a deep V-neckline, V-back, pockets, and a romantic cathedral length train.

The luxury furniture by BRIGHT EVENT RENTALS felt regal, yet intimate, for the highly personal, all white ceremony and reception. The floral while on trend, was timeless and a perfect reminder that less can be more. The stunning tablescape was enhanced with ivory floral and velvet linens by AVANT-GARDE FLORAL and LA TAVOLA FINE LINEN. Layers of neutral colours, texture and depth elevated the tablescape, which was tucked perfectly under two olive trees. 

A three-tier cake designed by MAEFLOUR CAKES was sophisticated and encompassed in florals. However, this was quickly shown up by a one-of-a-kind 12×12’ Escort Card Wall including with handmade place cards and stunning gold calligraphy provided by THEY CALL ME SPINDLES. The true showstopper was the gorgeous vintage getaway car by ROSCOE & LOUIE!
