R & J celebrated their love with 46 of their closest friends and family on the last day of March. Every guest traveled to Scottsdale for the first time and enjoyed a luxurious week at the Phoenician complete with Arizona inspired welcome boxes, a sunset welcome dinner and a farewell brunch with a spring rain.
Complete with a monogram dance floor wrap, custom ice luge. crystals, hanging orchids and shell details, this day spared no detail. But even more special was the family that we had the privilege of getting to know through the process of creating this day.

With candles and floral spread abundantly across the tables, once the sun went down the romance increased seven fold. It was a family affair to be remembered forever.
Cassie and Nick were the definition of newly wed bliss. They were so filled with joy and love not only for each other but for the friends and family that took witness to the vows they made to each other.
The sprinkling of rain throughout the day somehow added to the romance of the day. Cynthia’s wedding design included personal details throughout with a modern inspiration into the classic all white design.
Kyndra dreamed of a woodland wedding with inspired design and lush floral… together, we made her vision come to fruition.
With warm hues of red, burnt orange, apricot and yellow, their color palette complimented the season as much as it exemplified the golden desert sun setting in the distance.
Tight modern bouquets paired beautifully with the opulence of an arch spilling over with greens and floral in hues of light blush and white. The table tops included a touch of antique gold by way of the centerpieces to bring this modern meets garden style design full circle. Complete with ghost chairs, black cutlery, live music and a stunning desert sunset, it was the perfect dinner setting before guests made their way to the ballroom to dance the night away.
This barn wedding was a perfect mix of black tie style meets bohemian inspiration in the middle of the Tucson desert. Complete with a Tom For for Gucci reception dress, a custom Tuxedo, their sweet fur baby and the best personalities, B & T were made for each other! Even through the rain and wind as set up took place, these two basked in the joy of their love and were treated to a rainbow during their ceremony.
Filled with coral and a pop of blue, this ceremony made a statement among the the backdrop while the fading song of the fountain in the background played.

For reception we transformed the space with a canopy of greenery, floral and rose gold disco balls that danced above their guests in the colored lights throughout the night.
Shelbi and Trae said I do on September 25, 2021. It was a magical day filled with so much love, laughter and joy. The color palette was inspired by the collision of autumn and summer with a masculine undertone found within the reception design.
We flowered our iconic wood arch that looked like it was made for the space, filled the aisle with petals in the colors of the wedding and adorned each table top with rich, bold blooms in shades of red, lavender, mauve and blush.

Jenny and Kyle were married at the Manor house in Littleton, Co. on June 14, 2021 after waiting over a year because of Covid19 restrictions in their state. Their big day was finally here and it was a marvel of love, excitement and joy as their closest friends and family gathered to celebrate them.

There wasn’t a cloud in the sky on Taylor and Allen’s wedding day. The desert light was soft and golden and the cool breeze hummed as it made its way through the leaves on trees. We turned a large pergola structure into a flower garden oasis.
We packed up our gear and took off for Venice, Florida to make this gorgeous color rush wedding happen. A + S wanted to stick to a color palette that was dear to them, which in this case meant the wedding would be adorned in all shades of blue.
The ceremony took place in a Flagstaff meadow and the reception was held at the Bride’s parent’s private estate. Covid19 forced the couple to part with their dream venue and reconstruct the reception in her paren’t backyard. It was a gorgeous display of the flexibility we’ve all learned this year.
For this desert oasis wedding we adorned the entrance arch with Texas smilax vine, sprinkled the aisle in hundreds of white rose petals, created a ceremony arch design that made a statement and accented it with complimentary aisle marking arrangements.
J & J’s ceremony was adorned in bold pink floral and lush greens, adding bright color to the otherwise neutral, modern space.

This editorial at DC Ranch in Scottsdale, Arizona was one of my favorites. I painted the table with a beautifully whimsical palette which includes exhilarating pops of color that are complimented by the splash of rosé. This editorial embodies the romance of gathering in front of a distant Tuscan sunset in a Dolce & Gabbana sun dress, vino in hand.

On March 22, 2020 J & C held an intimate, 5 person wedding ceremony at their family’s private estate in Paradise Valley and live streamed the ceremony for their friends and family to witness. It was a joyful and cheery day despite the strangeness of COVID-19 and I have never been more grateful for flowering or the hope that love brings.
