A Desert Elopement in Chic Black Tie Style

Venue: Rainbow Basin Nature Area
Photography: Victoria Masai
Planning: Events by the Cea
Menswear Style: Navy Shawl Lapel Tuxedo with a navy long tie

Now this is how you do a fall elopement! We are obsessing over this unique moment created by Events by the Cea and captured by the ever-talented Victoria Masai Photography. We love when couples juxtapose black tie style with a nature setting, and this couple did just that.

They said I-do in the great Rainbow Basin in Barstow, CA. Nestled in the Calico Peaks range in the Mojave Desert, this area is painted with different colors of caramel, tan, chocolate, and green….all the perfect colors of the desert surrounding it.

The bride wore a chic black jumpsuit with a fitted corset style bodice and cropped pants. We are obsessed with the tulle black skirt to add some extra style. She paired her look with a delicate side braid and black high heels. The groom wore a Navy Shawl Lapel Tuxedo with a deep navy long tie. Together they looked perfect for their fall nature elopement.
