Cynthia Merhej originally hails from Lebanon, Jordan Tranel has roots in Colorado and the pair met in the Cayman Islands. Nevertheless they decided on a rustic desert wedding in Utah that doubled as a weekend glamping getaway. "We created a wedding that is truly a reflection of us: easy-going, informal, nontraditional, adventurous, wild and free-spirited," Cynthia says. The couple used the natural landscape to their advantage, decorating with simple DIY signage, terra-cotta pots and succulent arrangements. The ceremony took place overlooking the vast desert landscape, and the pair stood in front of a triangular wood arch with rustic flower arrangements. "The flowers were a mix of dry and fresh, earthy with a pop of desert-y color," Cynthia says. "They definitely played a beautiful part in the overall style of our wedding." At the reception, dining tables stood atop a wood platform brightened with string lights. A hand-painted blue and white fondant cake as well as personalized beer koozie favors added personal touches. Jordan wore an elegant navy-blue suit with brown leather suspenders and a bohemian boutonniere. Cynthia stunned in a flowing halter dress covered with fringe and tassels.
