Events By Show Stoppers has made another magazine cover! This absolutely gorgeous image of the charming Chapel at Tlaquepaque was taken by Sedona’s own Katrina Wallace of SedonaBride.Com and will be published on the cover of Arizona’s Finest Wedding Sites and Services September issue!
The magazine is one of Arizona’s most comprehensive sources for brides planning their weddings anywhere in the state. Show Stoppers designed another one of our popular rose petal carpets for the aisle. Old rusted candelabra, wax luminaries, tons of candles and a fabulous old alter piece were used in the shoot. Terra cotta cherubs holding cornucopias filled with autumn flowers flank the sides of the alter.
The Chapel at Tlaquepaque is one of Show Stoppers very favorite ceremony sites. Show Stoppers can provide service or brides can use Show Stoppers second store, Nectar Designs, to provide flowers. Nectar Design is located at Tlaquepaque in Suite A. 114. Nectar offers discounted packages exclusively for Tlaquepaque brides and is Tlaquepaque’s “in house” floral service.

Ken and I are so honored that the Arizona Events Industry awarded Show Stoppers the “Zonie” for “Best Event Decor 2009.” The award was presented at the annual I.S.E.S. awards dinner which was held at the Hotel Valley Ho in Scottsdale Arizona on May 13th.
Show Stoppers won the accolades by transforming the cavernous Pavilion at the Scottsdale Princess into a Las Vegas night club for 800 guests. The project was brought to the attention of I.S.E.S. by Deb Beggs of Tri-Rentals in Phoenix. You may SEE THE TIME LAPSE VIDEO HERE :

Don’t miss Show Stopper’s ad featuring another stunning rose petal carpet inspired by Navajo weavings. Here are some other wonderful images.
Ken’s centerpiece is jaw-dropping gorgeous. He used mounds of orange pin cushion protea, lavender stock, gold cymbidium orchids and deep red roses. If ever a floral design could be called sexy, this is it. HOT.
L’Auberge de Sedona….. Perfect for Rose Petal Carpets
Here is our latest rose petal carpet. We were inspired by patterns seen in jeweled Egyptian collars. ( An idea picked up by watching old movies.)
Guests are always intrigued when they enter an area and come upon designs like this for the first time. From a distance they can’t often relate to just what the design is. When they get closer and realize it is thousands of rose petals, they are astonished.
This close up is so cool. Katrina said it looks like a road of rose petals going around a bend.
Sedona Wedding Shoot at L’Auberge… Fabulous Bridal Bouquet
Here is the exquisite bouquet. Ken’s creation features gloriosa lilies, bougainvillea, pin cushion protea, heather and hypericum berries. Ken’s signature designs spill with texture, depth and color.
We love this image. Katrina got it all. What color, composition and intimacy.
Wait until you see what’s next! Jim was inspired while watching one of his favorite movies, “The Ten Commandments.” He got this idea during one of the opening scenes. Princess Nefertiti, while reclining on a balcony, plucks flowers from a lovely garland of acacia and anemones to shower her Prince as he entered the city among the adoring crowds shouting ” Moses! Moses! This boa sports 1000 daffodils. Outrageous.
Katrina thought it would be fun to let the groom wear the boa too. What a sport. Blake was eager to comply. Everyone comments how wonderfully the golden yellow pops against the beige color of the winter grasses in Oak Creek Canyon.
This was actually the second daffodil garland Jim has made. The first was designed years ago for a sculpture in the courtyard of the Jr. League building in Houston. He made it for a wedding reception and brunch honoring the Duchess of Windsor the following day.
We will close with this shot of several of us on the Show Stopper’s team installing the carpet.
Oh, one more thing. People always ask what happens to all those rose petals…
Phoenix Bride and Groom Magazine was so inspired by this shoot that they honored Show Stoppers by asking us to design their 10th Anniversary Gala held at the Arizona Grand Resort on June 3rd. We were thrilled to be working along side Victoria Canada Weddings and Events who oversaw every detail to perfection. Here is another chance to see the SLIDE SHOW HERE:
