Megan and Daniel's luminarie-itious wedding

Oh yes, another Reflections at the Buttes Wedding.  This lovely couple is Megan and Daniel.  Jon and I
always say that the BEST weddings are the ones that are planned and designed around
your personalities, tastes and dreams.

Megan and Daniel did just that.  Colors  were blue and green with and emphasis on Blue. You
will see as we go some of the uniqueness that they created.
We started out the day getting her hair and make up down and then
headed over to Reflections

I love the reflection of mom looking upon her daughter as she
prepares to walk down the isle.

Posh Petals created these one of a kind vibrant flowers.  Wow!!

Guest were handed these simpley cute yet useful wedding programs.  Not only did they
coordinate in color but the guests could use to fan themselves in our lovely warm desert.

I insert here another item that Megan and Daniel did to personalize their wedding.  They went
to Ambrosia of Tucson and explained their vision of a sunset on the cake.  With the mountains at the
bottom and ending with the night sky at the top.  I love it.  Very unique.

Not pictured but the dinner served to guests was a huge surprise.  In fact it wasn't dinner at all.
It was breakfast.  Oh yes, their favorite meal of the day is breakfast.  So that is what was served.
Eggs, bacon and all the fixins.  Love it!!

 

Daniel wanted to add another special touch of his own hands.  He created these lovely luminaries
to float on the water.  In some cultures they are used at celebrations giving a symbol of  hope and
good wishes.  Some people make wishes as they set them afloat.  I wonder what they wished for.
I am sure this day was a wish come true!

Congratulations to you both.  May you have a wonderful, prosperous and harmonious life.

Rachael and Frank - The continuation of World Travels starting at Saguaro Buttes

World travelers Rachael and Frank were wed at the beautiful and newly renovated Saguaro Buttes.  We love the versatility of backdrops provided at Saguaro Buttes.  You have the Desert, Green Grass and a beautiful flowing creek and pond.  Its the master mind of Pastor Dave.

Prior to the ceremony the couple chose to do a special meeting.  Jon and I arranged for Rachael and Frank to be on either side of a door, touch hands yet never see each other.  This is a very special way to say I love you yet keep the tradition of not seeing each other.  A very romantic moment.

As I mentioned Rachael and Frank are world travelers so their favors to guests were personalized travel bag tags.  Following the wedding Frank and Rachael went on a two month honeymoon traveling South America to Antarctica.  We talked them into writing a blog while on the trip so their family and us could see their fun adventures.  It was a trip of a life time.



We have spoke often in so many of our blogs....Ambrosia is our favorite Cake designer and the one we recommend.  So I caught Janie and her Husband as they were setting up the cake.

Love love love this idea for your guests.

Onto some fun dancing. They preformed a choreographed 1st dance. It was really cute.

Finishing the night with some beautiful night shots.

Isnt' this gorgeous.  Saguaro Buttes also used this in their new ad with the Tucson Bride and Groom Magazine .

Dan and Carolyn - Giddy and in Love at the Stillwell House

Dan and Carolyn.  Giggles, Squeals and non stop smiling.  This couple glows and puts the fun in fun-loving.  Enjoy the beautiful free-spirited and beautiful wedding that united their marriage on this beautiful day.

Carolyn's mom is an amazing artist and designed and created this one of a kind invitation.

I just loved her classic lace wedding dress.  It fit her figure like an hourglass and just love the V in the back.  I must admit I really loved her purse too.

There ceremony was held at the Historic Stillwell House in Downtown.  Beautiful quaint venue.  And bonus located in our downtown with close access to amazing and unique backdrops.

Carolyn and Dan just glow with giddiness (if that is a word).  They giggle when they look at each other and have this unspoken language that only the two of them know.

See you can see it in their eyes.

Carolyn's bridesmaid is her little sister. She was wearing a vintage dress found on 4th ave I believe. It was sexy and very apropos of the venue and feel of the wedding

 

This is Carolyn's grandfather.  90+.  She just squealed with delight and I thought this was just precious.  Then grandpa proceeded to kiss her over and over seeing the reaction he got from the rest of us.  Priceless moment. 

On to our first dance following dinner.  Have you seen a picture yet, where Carolyn is not squealing with joy.  It definitely was contagious.

Ambrosia made this delicious and white lace designed cake.  The topper had two wedding couples and with Carolyn and Dan in the background made 3 couples.

Dan loves his car.  Loves......so they exited, or should I say peeled out to start their life.  If you look closely at the bottom picture you can see smoke coming off tires.  We feel bless to be a part of such a joyous wedding and amazing couple.
