“This Waterfront Wedding Inspiration at Lake Crescent Lodge is Full of Foggy Minimalist Goodness” — Junebug Weddings

Mystical waterfront ceremony with minimal-boho details

We couldn’t imagine a more mystical setting than this lakeside lodge.

Our golden Gemma caped gown was so perfectly at home in this dreamscape. We always challenge ourselves to design outside the bridal box. We are so happy the folks over at Junebug Weddings see that played out here!

“The minimalist-bohemian design was picture-perfect for the PNW setting, and the bride’s incredible champagne and gold Amanda James gown was unlike any bridal style we’ve seen”

With a ceremony at the end of a pier, a reception setup at the water’s edge, and a little rain to create the most romantic vibe, this styled shoot at Lake Crescent Lodge designed by Carly Rae Weddings has put us in the mood for autumnal coziness!

We’re totally in love with the non-traditional feel of this elopement inspiration, and Kristen Marie Parker nailed it in capturing every single element!

Modern, polished & minimal, but certainly not cold. We love that even with the minimalist approach, the design details & planning still feel warm and inviting.
