Braxton & Hannah Get Married in Carmen!

Mr. & Mrs. Eliason 

These two said, "I Do," on Freeman Peak in Carmen, Idaho.

Braxton and Hannah celebrated their love with their friends and family with a summer wedding in Carmen. They had a million dollar view of Freeman Peak right behind them for their ceremony and hosted the reception on site. 

Both Braxton and Hannah had quite a few friends standing by their side for the big day in addition to their niece, nephew and their children. Hannah mixed and matched the bridesmaids' dresses and colors and I really loved it. All the bridesmaids also wore matching earrings made by Tricia Miller of Patricia Marie Crafts. 

In true 2023 summer fashion, it was hot at first and then the rain. Luckily they had  large tent so guests were able to shelter to eat and it didn't last too long to make people leave. 

They had a table at their reception with an assortment of frames - I automatically assumed that it was a "In Memory" table. But it was a beautiful table with different generations and their wedding photos. The photos include both the bride and groom's parents, grandparents and great-grandparents. It was a beautiful table and a nice touch to show how much love these families have. 

They had the most beautiful and big "naked" cake made by Whitney Teller. It was so big and beautiful with the same gorgeous flowers Hannah had in her bouquet. They served tacos and nachos - literally the works. 

They had their first dance with one another, parents and included their children for a special dance as well. 

It was such a beautiful day! Leave a comment below.
