In everything they do, the Sedona Wedding Studio is a rock solid team. The studio itself is a really cool destination for couples planning their weddings but it’s the creative forces that work behind the scenes that consistently blow me away.  The members of the studio, founded by Events by Showstoppers and Sedona Bride Photography, conceptualized a genius wedding inspiration eye candy plethora that I am overjoyed to share with you today. We published it in our most recent magazine issue and it was so gorgeous that it was featured on Style Me Pretty too. This is prettiness at it’s best readers!

Liz Margin, make-up artist, always does such a beautiful job. Read more about her here. And Patricia Vega  styled the hair- I really like the male model’s cool ‘do.

Notice the eclectic mix of styles and design elements throughout. There’s rustic, vintage, DIY, modern and elegant features all playing very nicely together. Wedding Coordinator Margaret VanDamme has created some amazing wedding inspiration for those of you who want a creative and custom feel at your wedding.

This is one of my all time favorite wedding bouquets- it’s vibrant colors are so happy!

All the food sounds and looks scrumptious but the baskets of peaches and plums have my heart- an edible wedding favor is always best!

Dancing Apache Lodge is unique to Arizona in that it has a rustic charm and lush vineyards…it’s not easy to find landscapes that rival California’s but these do the trick!

What did I tell you? It’s wedding inspiration galore!

More info on the shoot can be found in our latest print issue and here on the web.

Although it’s officially winter, I know you brides out there are thinking ahead to your Spring and Summer weddings. If wedding decor hasn’t taken over your every thought, we can blame it on the holidays and get back to business. Our newest issue is out and our excitement is tangible. I carry the magazine around with me, mark the pages with mini post-its and talk to anyone about it who makes eye contact with me (and I am not even engaged, ha!). I frequently delve into the Style Central feature in the mag because it’s just so darn happy!

A word about whimsy: it can be silly, colorful, energetic and clever. It can also make people feel lighter…at ease…even relaxed. A whimsical wedding allows people to not take themselves too seriously, which I think is a great thing. Our latest issue is chock- full of wedding inspiration treasures and pages 16-19 are where you will find our Style Central feature, conceptualized and styled by Victoria Canada, guru of weddings and style. Here are some more images from the inspirational photoshoot- Whimsy Abound!

At a large venue such as the Arizona Biltmore, guests will need to know where to go. Whimsical does not mean unorganized! I absolutely love the pinwheel escort cards because guests are not only directed to where they are seated but also get a “toy” to keep them occupied! The flower cones are cleverly used as aisle decor and if you have a helpful friend, i.e. coordinator who is on the ball, they can then be scattered around the reception room as another layer to your decor.

I can’t help but be delighted when I see the undeniably Spring-like floral designed by Your Event Florist and the cutie pie kiddos (every wedding needs a few of those, right?):

Look at this bride! She is delightful and her makeup by Corinna Cooke is flawless:

The bicycle themed menu by The Event Essentials subtly compliments the bright colors

The gorgeous gown is from Destiny’s Bride, Bridal Gown Heaven!
