The Sedona Weddings and Corporate Events Guide

One of the most beautiful places to be married in Arizona’s high country is Forest Highlands Golf Club in Flagstaff.  This private golf club and community is one of our very favorites.  Not only is it a beautiful setting but the staff could not be more courteous and professional.  You can visit Forest Highlands HERE:  

Laura and Nate’s wedding fell on a very cool day so the weddng was moved into the Meadow House.  It was so lovely.  Guests were able to see the spectacular San Francisco peaks beyond the green fairways and pine forest.  Our friend, Cameron Clark did the photography.  Cameron has such talent and a style all her own.  She brings an edginess to her work that we just love.  Be sure not to miss her fabulous new blog and website.  Visit Cameron HERE:  There are other weddings created by Show Stoppers on her newly redesigned site.   Cameron is our newest featured vendor, so be sure to read her profile on our featured vendors page.We created another one of our popular rose petal carpets and sprinkled the outside edge with additional petals to soften the effect of reflected light on the polished concrete floor.  Two varieties of red roses with slightly different tones were used to get that rich effect.  Duel colored deep orange petals made the contrasting border.

This is such a cute shot Cameron captured of the little flower girl being escorted down the aisle.

We used our rustic pedestals with pretty autumnal flowers at the end of the aisle.  The view did the rest.

Laura’s bride’s maids were gorgeous.  They all loved Ken’s bouquets and how they popped against their chocolate brown gowns.

Ken made Laura’s bouquet with lots of autumn color and woodsy textures.   Autumn really is Ken’s favorite time of year for weddings because of the seasonal rich colors and textures available.

Laura and Nate’s wedding was an absolute pleasure to create.  With such a lovely couple, gorgeous setting, beautiful wedding party, perfect time of year ( and yes, with Show Stoppers and Cameron ) how could it have been anything but perfect.

This wedding was hot!.  Jenawa and Adam, ( another lovely couple in a string of New Yorkers in 2008 ) were stylish to say the least.  Seems like everybody wanted purple last year and Jenawa was no different.  Style was a huge issue for this Park Avenue bride, but once we all started talking, everything fell right into place.  Benjamin D. Buren was brought in from Boulder Colorado to do the photography.  You can see more of his work by going to: Alivestudios.com

Benjamin really knows how to bring out the most sensual expressions from his subjects.  In this sultry pose,  Jenawa could be a model right out of any high fashion magazine.  Ken’s bouquet isn’t bad either.  Great shot Jenawa!

Isn’t this portrait of the flower girl just incredible?  She looks like a movie star.  This shot is one of our all time favorite portraits.

The ceremony was held on the hillside at L’Auberge de Sedona, one of the most popular places for a Sedona wedding.

The views are fabulous.  You can see more of L’Auberge by visiting Lauberge.com.  Kara Clark and Meghan Rudolph will take care of your every need.  We love working with both of them.

Our rose petal carpet really picks up the purples in the distant landscape.  Mike and Schelli with Taltos Video Productions did an incredible video of Adam and Jenawa’s Sedona wedding.  You can see their wonderful work by going HERE:

We chose a champagne shape to celebrate the occasion.  The fragrance of the sterling silver roses hung in the breeze so sweetly.

Ken and I really enjoyed designing this Sedona wedding.  Jenawa and Adam were so loved by everyone attending their wedding.  Jenewa was simply gorgeous.  Congratulations you two.

When we learned that Remi was of Japanese heritage and John was English, we immediately thought this wedding would be an interesting project.  The ceremony was held at The Sedona Heritage Society with the reception immediately following at Tlaquepaque, Tlaq.com.  The reception was in the Calle Independencia which is a very popular venue because of the romantic Spanish architecture, trickling fountains, glowing carriage lanterns and charming overhead string lighting.  The wedding was planned by Karen Lynn, Sedonaweddingplanner.com, who did a superb job.  Again, Katrina Wallace, Sedonabride.com, captured the wedding beautifully.  We enjoyed designing this wedding because of the Japanese elements we were able to incorporate.  You may click to enlarge any of the photos to see more detail.

Here is a great shot of the traditional Japanese Torii which is considered a gateway to a holy site.  We made it of giant timber bamboo held together by traditional wooden dowels.  It was beautiful against the red cliffs of Sedona.

Remi and John were charming and conscious of every detail.  Ken did an exceptional job of designing her bouquet in a contemporary Japanese style.

Orchids, antique hydrangeas, equisetum and cockscomb were used in the designs.

Here are some close ups of the Bride’s Maid’s bouquets.  The combination of colors and textures were very effective.

This is the custom handle of Remi’s bouquet made of equisetum.  Ken chose this type of reed because it mimics bamboo and went perfectly with the theme.

The head table was really lush.  We used manzanita branches, hydranges, orchids and equisetum.

Smaller square glass cubes, some with candles and some with equisetum were used randomly down the table.  Small origami cranes symbolizing faithfulness dangled everywhere from branches of manzanita.  We were very pleased with the overall look of this wedding.
