These are a few of my favorite things:

Southwest Core

You’ve definitely heard of Cottage Core, but have you heard of Southwest Core? We LOVED all of the details that harken to the place that formed Hannah and Austin’s love story. Bright turquoise, yellow, and red dotted the tables with garlands of rasta chilis. The bride and groom were adorned with stunning turquoise jewelry. Even the floral arrangements lended to over all southwest vibe.

A cat-walk down the aisle

It has become very common for couples to have their dogs walk down the aisle during the ceremony, but have you ever seen a cat? Sweet little Widget was pushed down the aisle in a pet stroller. There were also several more Widget appearances on drink stirrers and coloring pages.

A new version of a bouquet toss

Don’t have any single people at your wedding to throw the bouquet too? What about a stuffed animal? Hannah and Austin got a crocheted cat and whoever caught it was said to be the next person to adopt a pet. How cute?!

A gift that keeps on giving

One more super intentional detail we loved about their day was that for favors, Hannah and Austin gave away sourdough starters from their personal stash. They even included super helpful instructions for guests to follow.
