Photography by Vanessa of Ginger Moose Photography.
Some weddings feel effortless in the way the colors fall into place, the leaves glow at the right moment, and the details tell a story that is simple, heartfelt, and beautifully personal. This fall celebration at The Benchmark at Cascade Village was exactly that.
Set against the bright yellow aspens of Durango's autumn season, this couple leaned into a natural boho style that felt warm, grounded, and unfiltered. Soft textures, earth tone florals, a show-stopping bridal bouquet, and thoughtful details sourced entirely from local businesses created a celebration that felt connected to the land and the community.

A Boho Style That Felt Like Home
Instead of going maximalist or trendy, the couple kept their aesthetic rooted in nature. Their ceremony backdrop was the mountainside itself, glowing in shades of gold and amber. Inside the venue, subtle boho touches such as neutral runners, dried elements, and soft fabrics created a warm and peaceful atmosphere.
The overall vibe remained simple, real, and deeply intentional. The Benchmark's blank canvas design allowed every detail to feel authentic and personal.
