Some weddings are straight-up vibes-and Alexandra & Austen's big day at Chalet View Lodge was an absolute mood. Think Western-boho meets disco-glam, wrapped in a golden hour glow and set against the towering pines of the Lost Sierra.
If you've ever wondered what it would look like to fuse 1970s cool with modern romance, this is it. From Alexandra's fringe veil (YES, FRINGE!) to Austen's mustard-yellow suit, every detail of this day was dripping in personality and style.
Ready to dive into this wild, romantic ride? Let's go.
That Veil. That Jacket. That Moment.
Alexandra wasn't your traditional bride--and that's exactly why we're obsessed. She paired her sleek gown with a show-stopping ombre fringe veil in rust and amber hues, mirroring the golden-hour magic of the Sierra Nevada.
And that jacket? A hand-painted leather masterpiece, embroidered with roses and Western fringe, giving all the outlaw-loves-her-cowboy feels. As for Austen-his vintage-inspired mustard suit and cream vest proved that grooms can (and should!) have just as much fun with fashion.
The Ceremony: Nature's Cathedral
Set beneath the swaying pines, their ceremony was framed by a hexagonal floral arch bursting with sunset-toned blooms, pampas grass, and wild greenery. The Lost Sierra doesn't need much dressing up-but wow, did this setup enhance its natural beauty.
Walking down the aisle, Alexandra carried a freeform bouquet of bold orange dahlias, playful Billy balls, and trailing amaranthus-each bloom radiating warmth. And the way Austen looked at her? Melt.
A Reception Dripping in Disco & Desert Sunset Tones
The reception was a feast for the eyes (and the soul). Picture long wooden tables draped in rust-colored runners, candlelit magic flickering against textured blooms in vintage bud vases.
But let's talk about that cake. A fringe-textured masterpiece (hello, edible boho perfection!) topped with mini disco balls-because, obviously, this party was about to GO OFF.
Boots, Fringe, and a Full-On Dance Party
When the sun dipped behind the mountains, the real party began. String lights twinkled, guests grabbed signature cocktails, and the dance floor transformed into a blur of motion and light.
Austen ditched the suit jacket, Alexandra rocked her fringed jacket, and suddenly, the night felt like a honky-tonk-meets-Studio-54 fever dream. Sparklers flared, guests twirled, and every candid shot radiated pure joy.
Why We're OBSESSED With This Wedding
This wasn't just a wedding-it was a full-on experience. Every choice, from the retro signage to the laid-back cocktail hour around fire pits, felt intentional, effortless, and totally them.
If you're dreaming of a wedding that feels like YOU--whether that means bold colors, unexpected textures, or a dance floor that never quits-take notes from Alexandra & Austen.
Because at the end of the day? The best weddings are the ones that tell a story.
And this one? A love story with a disco-Western soundtrack.
