How often can you get advice for free from a wedding coordinator? Not very often right? Well, our Style Central Stylist Victoria Canada shares her design ideas, tips and tricks for welcoming your guests to your Arizona wedding as soon as they check into their hotel. The feature article can be seen in our new issue, on newsstands now, but here are a few more images from Sedona Bride Photographers and the blog exclusive video from Serendipity Videography featuring the “Very Swanky” box.

The Bicycle Crawl Map is super clever and the Tangerine soda? Yeah, it’s inspired by 2012′s color of the year: Tangerine Tango!

The lobby at the Hotel Valley Ho is mod and hip

Here is the video with Victoria’s advice:
