A Desert Wedding Designed with Modern Romance

You might have an idea of what the typical desert wedding looks like, but I can promise you this day will leave you happily surprised. Designed in the softest neutral shades with natural greens and succulents throughout, it’s modern romance brought to life thanks to the vendor team behind it.

From the planner… Nikki and Keenan’s special day was straight out of a fairytale. Neutral hints of romantic blush, ivory, and birchwood perfectly complemented the gorgeous desert landscape. The outdoor reception area at Desert Mountain Golf Club served as the ideal location for this December Arizona wedding. This color scheme, accessorized with various succulents, burlap and wood enhanced the space with a warm winter vibe.

The staircase was adorned with lush garland and enhanced with lanterns. The altar was a beautifully constructed white birch wood arch, as the corners spilled over with lush white and pale pink peonies and roses, created by Petal Pusher.

The elegant and unique escort card display featured natural ivory cards nestled into several small logs of white birch wood. Foil & Ink created simple and chic escort cards, with light grey printing. The dinner menus followed the same simplistic and crisp design of ivory and grey tones paired with calligraphy style font.

La Tavola provided a selective collection of ivory and neutral linens that were topped with gold rimmed white charger plates, courtesy of Event Rents. Shimmering blush colored napkins tied with twine laid on top was the perfect finishing touch for the reception tables. Tapered candles on glass vases and smaller ornate gold candles added a dainty touch to the center of the tables. Contributing to the wintery atmosphere were white birch wood table number holders.

The floral centerpieces from Petal Pusher were absolutely detailed and stunning. Tall gold candle holders served as the base for abundant circular bouquets of peonies, roses and lush greenery. Petal Pusher brilliantly created a lavish row of florals to compliment the dark wood head table, accented with numerous charming white candles. Romantic roses hung at various lengths along the blush pipe and drape behind the sweet newlyweds.

Desert Mountain Golf Club catered to those with a sweet tooth with a two-tier wedding cake adorned with miniature succulents, as well as a dessert bar. Event Rents provided a cozy seating area with birch wood centerpieces to add the perfect finishing touch.
