Drawing inspiration from the wealthy cultural background of the Day of the Dead and the artistic variety of Frida Kahlo, Anahi and Chris had a <\/span>clear vision<\/span> of how their special occasion would feel and look. Featuring a shocking display of color and textures, the pair\u2019s <\/span>Cactus Country<\/span><\/a> wedding showcases unconventional style and gorgeously moody touches. All the pieces was cohesive and flowed seamlessly, from the <\/span>venue<\/span> and <\/span>flowers<\/span> right down to the marriage attire.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The couple\u2019s daring fashion decisions set the tone and gave their celebration a contemporary twist. Unnecessary to say, Anahi looked absolutely stunning in her <\/span>custom off-the-shoulder gown<\/span> with ornate gold and cerulean embroidery. She paired this ensemble with a spectacular gold sugar skull <\/span>halo crown<\/span>. Meanwhile, Chris perfectly complemented the bride and rocked a <\/span>blue checkered jacket<\/span>, and a hot pink tie.<\/span><\/p>\n

Harking back to the Mexican Mojave, African Sahara, and Argentinian Patagonia\u2014the Cactus Country was the proper setting for his or her unique affair. And with the otherworldly, cactus-dotted landscape as their backdrop, the 2 professed their love to one another surrounded by their family members. Following their intimate desert <\/span>ceremony<\/span>, a vibrant <\/span>reception<\/span> awaited. The couple and their guests dined on delicious <\/span>Spanish food<\/span> and <\/span>danced the night away<\/span>. Take a better look, and don\u2019t miss out on all of the unforgettable details. These dreamy photographs captured by <\/span>Eerik Sandstrom Photography<\/span><\/a> will certainly take your breath away.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why A Cactus Country Wedding<\/span><\/h2>\n

We selected the <\/span>Cactus Country<\/span><\/a> due to its amazing landscape and uniqueness that\u2019s not common here in Australia. We wanted to move our guests, give them an evening to recollect, and made sure they had a good time.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Personalizing Their Ceremony By Writing Their Vows Having A \u201cPlugged\u201d Ceremony<\/span><\/h2>\n

We wrote our own <\/span>vows<\/span>, used <\/span>biodegradable fresh petals<\/span> to avoid damaging the gorgeous landscape, allowed people to take as many photos and videos as possible, and encouraged a \u201cplugged\u201d ceremony.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

They Treated Their Guests To Delicious Spanish Food<\/span><\/h2>\n

We hired a Spanish caterer, <\/span>Dos Amigos<\/span><\/a>. We treated our guests to <\/span>Spanish food<\/span> and served Paella, Spanish potatoes, calamari, and churros. It was absolutely delicious! We made sure we brought in a few of my Hispanic culture for our very multicultural group of guests.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
