Alyssa and Alex were wed at Saguaro Buttes

Introducing Alex and Alyssa as Husband and Wife. Married at the beautiful Saguaro Buttes on a magnificent fall Tucson day. Alyssa was a bride after my heart. A true Do-it-yourself-er. She took care and created most of her details for their wedding day.

To start the flowers. She bought live flowers on line. Some of the first batch of flowers were the wrong color. So the flower company had to overnighted the replacements. Ummmm can I say Stressful. They were on the phone with the company most of the morning and they kept assuring her it was arriving. With nearly only an hour left before the ceremony, the Fed Ex truck arrived. To the Brides relief.....and just in time. It was time to get to work for the center pieces.

So as the Girls are rushing around with the beautiful details of the day. We go to the Groom and his Posse. Oh yes taking it in stride and relieving their stress in their own unique way......Playing poker. They even brought their own table

The girls working away.

The Boys

The Girls...... 

This is a very sweet way to add a little bling with a fraction of the cost. Alyssa found crystal with stems that are inserted into the flowers. An amazing touch and stylized detail. Very easy to do.

Are you seeing a pattern here LOL

The girls finally almost ready.

The girls finished the flowers and prepping the Bride. They all had just the most amazing attitudes. They had fun even with the stressful situation. And ooooooh was Alyssa amazing. In the end, the wedding and reception was to die for and she got the wedding of her dreams

Alyssa's mom let me in on a little secret. Her husband had been with out his wedding ring for some time. So she was going to surprise him and put a new ring on his finger at the same time Alyssa was putting the ring on Alex during the ceremony. So Jon and I positioned ourselves so that we could get both shots at the same time. What a special moment for the parents.
