Jessica & Mike…A luxury wedding at The Ritz Carlton Dove Mountain

Upon meeting Jessica & Mike over a year ago, I could instantly see the love they have for one another, and how excited they were about their upcoming wedding.  They chose The Ritz Carlton Dove Mountain for the beautiful outdoor ceremony lawn, surrounded by the stunning desert landscape.  For Jessica, this was home for her as she grew up in Tucson.

One of the main focal elements of the wedding was the ceremony arch enveloped in orchids, garden roses, and hydrangea with a blanket of soft ivory petals leading up to the altar.  It was breathtaking!  Jessica’s Gaila Lahav couture gown floated as she walked down the aisle with her father to take Mike’s hand, and the guests cheered as they were pronounced husband and wife.

To their surprise, guests were greeted in cocktail hour with a champagne seating display, and the staff wore alphabetized aprons.  Everyone was delighted with the interactive seating arrangements.

The reception décor was a modern, very sophisticated color palette of blush, bridal white, and navy.  Each table was adorned with acrylic menus, table numbers, and marble place cards with rose gold foil.  The monogram from their invitation was featured in a gobo of gold lighting above the dance floor.  The night was absolutely magical!
