nspired by the beautiful winter weather and the moodiness of the red riding hood fairy tale, we decided to put together a winter bridal portrait session with a little bit of a magical twist. Using the deep color of Marsala as opposed to bright red, and protea and feathers in the bouquet, we wanted to add a unique feel to this shoot as well as inspire brides getting married in colder months.

Our vendors
spilled the beans! We asked Albuquerque + Santa Fe wedding professionals to divulge their best kept secrets of the local industry. Lucky for you, we’re terrible at keeping secrets, so read on for some of our favorite tips + tricks for making the most out of your wedding day. 49
the dress
“ Remember to keep an open mind in terms of designer and style. A dress always looks different on the body than it does on the rack! Choose your consultation par ty wisely. When deciding who to bring, limit it to those whose opinions matter the most. Make sure to start looking for and order a dress early on! It can take can up to 3-9 months, especially for bigger designers, for a dress customized to your specifications to come in. If you’re a bride on a budget, don’t hesitate to ask your dress shop for discontinued dresses. You will almost always receive a bargain on those kinds of gowns.” - Darlene, Bridal Elegance by Darlene
on cake
“Here’s one of the thriftiest wedding cake hacks out there: instead of creating one extravagant cake that can feed all of your guests, have your baker create a small cake for the cake-cutting, pictures, and feeding a few guests. Then, have a simpler, easy to cut sheet cake that can be hidden away and cut up afterwards for all your wedding guests to enjoy. You can also utilize a dummy tier out of foam. Many bakeries can help achieve the look of a multi-tiered wedding cake for less by substituting decorated foam tiers in between real tiers of cake. This will be a blessing to your bank account... trust us!” - Birdie, The Cake Boutique 50
“When it comes to selecting a venue,
the general advice you will get is to think about the basics: the price and the capacity. However, the process of selecting a venue can really make or break your planning experience. Once you have selected one, it should be a place that leaves you feeling completely confident about your big day, not frustrated or depleted. Once all of the planning is done, every little thing will come together and it will center around the venue, so ask the tough questions and make sure that you trust the venue to execute your vision.”
- Lauren, The Event Center at Sandia Golf Club
“Remember,
this is the time in your life that you will be the most photographed. Why not make the most of it and be camera ready at all times? When booking your wedding trial run with your hair and makeup artist, book your engagement pictures directly after. Or perhaps plan it to be done on the morning of your bridal shower, that way you can be camera ready for the shower.” - Ric Kent, Hair and Makeup Artist
for invites
“We’re happy to do as minimal, or as much as you need for your wedding invitations. You can buy the paper from us and print them yourself. You can even bring in your own design that we would be more than happy to print. You can have us design, print, assemble, address and even go to the post office for you!” -Pennysmiths Paper
51
“Going the extra mile isn’t extra, it’s who we are.” “One of our biggest secrets is centered around your event experience. We always strive to give more value than contracted. Sometimes it includes additional gear for sound or lighting, or maybe it’s a custom monogram or our 360 media guru footage. It’s always something that enhances your event experience beyond the original scope. Going the extra mile isn’t extra, it’s who we are.” -Chris, Cutmaster Music
your photos
“When choosing a photographer first look at the different styles that each photographer offers and narrow it down to ones that really vibe with your taste and personality. A lot of photographers offer beautiful trendy photos with lots of filters and moodiness which is something we do not do. While our shooting style is natural and romantic, our editing style is clean and classic, so when you look at your photos 10 years from now you still love them just as much as the first day you saw them.” -Maura, Maura Jane Photography 52
Last, but not least “For big weddings, an open air photo booth is a must! Whether you’re taking a quick snap with your bestie or capturing your entire wedding party, it’s the versatility you will depend on. On the other hand, a traditional, enclosed booth maybe more fitting if you’re having an intimate celebration; it’s always good to check out both options! Never be afraid to ask for references from either your venue or your photographer and be sure to follow up with an interview. Book early because typically dates fill up fast. And as for the challenge, have fun with it! Have your guests do things like tell a story in three pictures, get a picture with the mother of the bride or the loudest person at the wedding. It gets the guests to laugh more and branch out to mingle!” -Celia, Selfie Sensations

THE DAY
Sweetest MR. & MRS. LESEBERG | MAY 13, 2017 “My favorite part of our wedding day was walking down the aisle to my groom with everyone we love surrounding us. It was truly humbling to see the people we love support us.” 54
-Bride, Breanna
Matt Blasing Photography -Real Wedding “I’m so glad that I chose a theme that portrayed our lifestyle. This made all of the decision making easy because we were not choosing things out of our comfort zone. If I had to do it all over again, my groom and I would have made a point to visit each table personally to greet each of our guests. The advice I’d give to someone planning their wedding would be not to stress about every little detail because, in the end, it will turn out the way it’s meant to be. What I loved about our decor and theme is that it showed some insight into our lives. A lot of the wedding decor we used were things that we already decorated our home with. We are very casual and laid back people which is why my groom was able to wear his boots and cowboy hat at the altar. I feel like our wedding decor and theme represented our true selves.”
-Bride, Breanna

The most cozy, romantic, & authentically exquisite introduction to forever... 66
Los Poblanos Real Wedding “If rain at a wedding is a sign of good fortune, then consider us lucky! Despite waking up to dark clouds and the first wet weather of the season, we had nothing to worry about -- not only because we were in the capable hands of the Los Poblanos team, but because nothing could diminish the natural beauty and tranquility of this venue. As most of our guests were attending from out of state or overseas, many visiting New Mexico for the first time, we wanted to offer an authentic, unique, and memorable introduction to our beautiful state. Not only did Los Poblanos deliver, it exceeded everyone’s expectations with its unparalleled cuisine, rich character, and seamless coordination. Even though it was the biggest party we’ve ever thrown, it was also the most intimate and romantic. Los Poblanos kept us warm and dry while accommodating our multicultural celebration in a way we never could have imagined and won’t soon forget.”

After walking the grounds, the couple realized they could have the best of two worlds - a fairytale ballroom and a breathtaking evening sky. As they stood on the event lawn, they knew, this was where they would have their first dance at sunset as husband & wife.
The Event Center at Sandia Golf Club provided the ideal setting for Yiannaki and Amanda’s wedding. With the endless, natural horizon, Amanda, a Taos, NM native, felt like she was in her own backyard. Born and raised in Albuquerque,Yiannaki was blown away by the view of the Sandia Mountains. The couples love of nature brought them to want lots of greenery, from draping down their backdrop, filled in table centerpieces as well as decorated leaves and florals on their cake. Gold, Navy, Blush, Green.... are all the colors that may be seen when witnessing a beautiful New Mexico sunset from The Event Center....these colors, chosen for the wedding, and the Mediterranean theme helped it feel like their fairtytale come true. Yiannaki and Amanda love a natural, simplistic atmosphere, and that’s what the venue exemplified.

La Fonda on the Plaza -Real Wedding “Jeremy and I live in Minnesota so when we decided on New Mexico for our wedding, we knew we had to show a bunch of Minnesotans what Santa Fe was all about. From the venue and decor to food and drinks, we wanted to emphasize the unique charm of Santa Fe. La Fonda on the Plaza was the ideal spot - it exudes history, culture, and style with tile fireplaces, hammered tin chandeliers, ornate beams, terra cotta accents, and original art. We also chose La Fonda because we wanted a relaxed, outdoor ceremony. La Terraza at La Fonda was the perfect place. The private outdoor patio space overlooks the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis de Assisi, the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, and the heart of downtown Santa Fe. We were spoiled with a beautiful, sun-filled, early September day that couldn’t be beat.”

The couple put such thought into each and every detail, adorable signs with love quotes were scattered through out the entire venue and hula hoops dripped in flowers were hung above the head table. Amanda made sure the dance floor was nice and large to accommodate her fun loving guests who let loose the entire evening. It was only fitting as Amanda and James met on the dance floor at a dance hall saloon where James two stepped his way right into her heart.”
-Maura Jane Photography
“Being able to capture the love story of these two was such an honor.�

DĂŽner en Blanc pop up wedding!
DĂŽner en Blanc is a worldwide event, spanning six continents, in which people flash-gather in a public space and set up a temporary, chic dining area. Guests come dressed in white to enjoy quality food & wine and of course a once in a lifetime experience.... 128
Dîner en Blanc comes to Albuquerque each year and two of our nearest and dearest wedding professionals were there to assist in the first ever Dîner en Blanc- Pop Up Wedding! The cool part? Their close family and friends received invites at their seat when they arrived to the Dîner en Blanc event which asked them to head to the ceremonial garden at a certain time (but didn’t say why). It was only when the ceremony started that people realized it was a wedding! King Mobile Music created a truly electric atmosphere through his expert use of lighting and state-of-the-artequipment in the lawn area while Matt Blasing Photography was there to capture it all in impeccable detail. When you have a starry night, a magical venue, and thousands of new friends around you: anything is possible at a
Le Dîner en Blanc event!
