Fall into this late-summer inspo with a showstopping black ballgown

black wedding dress

The inspiration for this Leona Morelock Designs shoot came from the red rocks of Sedona, Arizona, drawing in the terracotta tones through the use of candles, florals, stationery, and table accents. A team of incredible vendors came together to create this work-of-art design that featured dark accents perfect for fall. Captured by Jen Creed Creative and Red Rock Wedding Films, this bright summer-into-fall wedding inspiration is an absolute must-see.

Subtle glam for a not-so-subtle dress

The bride's hair featured a classic low bun by TEAM Hair and Makeup. Her makeup was subtle yet glamorous to allow the showstopping black gown to take center stage. Accessories included earrings, a small clutch, and dramatic black opera-length gloves.

Bright fall floral design

Fifty Flowers provided the gorgeous florals that were then designed by Sonia with Petals for Patsy. An ombre of brighter fall colors were once again accented with pops of deep maroon and sunset inspiration.

The linens for the table were a soft blush velvet that worked beautifully with the other elements, including a fun gold pattern that we used for the napkins and matching cushions from Reverie Social.

Terracotta takes the cake

Take the Cake Arizona made a beautiful two-tier cake that was a light terracotta color with a giant bow in the same color. Written on the side of the cake was ‘All of Me,’ which happened to be the couple’s first dance song.
