Michael and Carrie showered in Petals and Love at Reflections at the Buttes

I am very excited to share this story of Carrie and Michael.  Delicious Pink colors incorporated through out.  This above picture is one of my favorites.  Its so simple, but the floating petals just scream whirlwind romance.

This story takes place at Reflections at the Buttes.  Reflections is one of our favorite venues and we are preferred vendors there.  They have the majestic Pusche Ridge Mountain range as a backdrop at the ceremony.  Nothing big.....Just a MOUNTAIN TOP.  Hello, can you say beautiful.

My girl Carrie, had a beautiful personalized hanger for her dress to hang from.  Yes, lovely detail.

The groom made this sign for the wagon and the Thank you sign below with his own hands.  Love it when a Groom plays a role.  

In case you missed this on the above pictures...........Did you see these shoes.  Oh yea baby, they are HOT!!!!

We were blessed beyond belief with this colorful crazy on fire sky.

Lovin the night shots around the pool table.  Doesn't get sexier than this.

Mario and Emily's Dream Wedding - It is all in the details

Are you ready to be O-D'd on Details.  Well get ready and get your notepad and pen warmed up.  This is Emily and Mario.  This duo is going to blow your socks off with their attention to beautiful, home made and unique attention to detail.

Oh, did I mention they are beautiful inside and out. 

Mario and Emily started their day off at Corpus Christi Catholic Church

Their colors were very pale pastels:  whites, creams, pewter and pinks.  Some things she made and I know she shopped on Etsy quite a bit.  We will start with their wedding programs.  Simple and elegant.

The runner was monogrammed with their names.  Just wait there is so much more.

After the ceremony we photographed a few places around the church.

The groom taking a few shots of his new wife.  I would too, did you see how gorgeous she is.

Then we were off to JW Marriott at Starr Pass.

This little beautiful mini bride is Mario and Emily's daughter.  She had the veil and everything. It was her day just as much as your mommy and daddy's.

So on to the amazing details.  Emily had ballerina princess bags for her daughter and the flower girl.  She gave each of her bridesmaids a personalize gift and makeup bag.  There were flowers galore, candle Abra's, crystal and more flowers.  Our favorite florist Elaine Taylor Fine Flowers did all the arrangements and just blew us away.  The Initials of our couple were beautifully glowing on the wall above our couple all night long.  Another very simple touch that makes a huge difference.  They had up lighting all over the venue giving a pink glow all around us.

Emily made this place card holder.  She took old wood she had around the house and they built this shallow box.  She then collected for months the broaches, buttons and flowers that were adhered to the front.  Small glass stones were placed inside the box probably to help the cards stay in place.   So different, So unique, So beautiful.

Now Mario helped out too.  He made these adorable signs that hung from the Bride and Groom's chairs.  He hand painted them and gave them a crackled finish. 

Back to the flowers.  I have NEVER seen a flower purse.  This is what the flower girl carried down the isle.  Is that to die for or what!!  That is an over the top detail.  Again, the florist is Elaine Taylor.

Even Emily's feet must have felt pretty.  These shoes are amazing.

I believe this is another Etsy find.  Oh-M-G, that is the cutest garter.  I do not know if I could throw one. I would want to keep them both for myself.

She carried on the crystal and fabric rosebud theme in the foyer as guest arrived.

This elegant cake was created by Ambrosia.  Our favorite cake designer.  In this picture you can see some of the pink up lighting in the background.

The first dance is always a poetic moment

The groom did a cute little dance around the bride before taking off the garter.  It got the crowd going.

 We recently did an engagement session with the awesome Stephanie and Corey.  I brought along a sign and they were kind enough to go along with my antics.  I thought this would be a fun idea couples could incorporate in their engagement session and use for the wedding day.

The couple would place an enlarged picture of themselves holding the sign at key places at the reception.

This one could be used at the candy station.

 

Why not have this framed and next to the signing book or signing board.

Use them for table assignment

Use your imagination and personalize your wedding just one step more.  Truly, the best weddings are the ones that you have personalized and  have cute details such as this.

It is definitely awesome to send a picture of you both in the Thank you card, with the guest gifts or framed as your guests exit.
