From “I Do” to Tattoos: An Icehouse Wedding with White Roses, a Tattoo Station, and a Wild Afterparty
Ashley and Nick’s wedding at The Icehouse in Phoenix, Arizona was the perfect balance of classic romance and pure fun. The couple wanted to keep things chic and minimalistic, so we went with using a white, monochromatic color palette for all the floral and decor. We decorated the tables with gorgeous Playa Blanca white roses and assorted white candles. The historic brick walls of the venue provided the perfect blend of modern industrial charm and timeless romance.
But this wasn’t just any wedding… it was a celebration with a twist. Instead of the usual wedding favors, there was a tattoo artist on-site, offering guests the chance to commemorate the night with mini tattoos. Whether it was a tiny cactus, initials, or something more adventurous, it was a wedding memento that would last forever (literally).
The afterparty was nothing short of exciting with craft cocktails, late-night snacks, and one of Phoenix’s favorite DJ’s keeping everyone moving. A whole day filled with a little elegance, a little edge, and a whole lot of love.

A Modern Spring Wedding at Scottsdale’s Camelback Inn with Soft Pastels, a Pop of Bright Pink, and Taupe Accents
Set against the desert backdrop of Scottsdale’s Camelback Inn, this spring wedding balances softness with structure. The palette leans into muted pastels layered with warm taupe tones, creating a look that feels elevated and romantic. Florals feature a mix of blush, pale lavender, creamy neutrals and a fun pop of bright pink. Garden roses, ranunculus, and seasonal blooms come together in loose, textural arrangements that feel organic without looking undone.
The ceremony structure was adorned with simple, asymmetrical designs and light mauve draping, letting the beautiful backdrop of Camelback Mountain speak for itself. Reception tables carry the same understated approach. Low floral centerpieces in soft hues pair with warm linens, neutral stone table numbers, and taupe candles. Every detail works together without competing, allowing the space to feel natural and not overdone. This wedding is a perfect example of how spring color can feel modern and timeless at the same time.

Romantic Garden Wedding at the Royal Palms Resort
Melissa and Andrew were looking to have a romantic garden-style wedding in Scottsdale, AZ. They chose to get married at the Royal Palms Resort & Spa, which couldn’t have been a better choice since it would be guaranteed they would be surrounded by lush greenery in every direction. When it came to floral and color choices, Melissa simply shared that they really wanted to incorporate mauve tones. We suggested to add a pop of a gold or mustard to really make the arrangements and bouquets pop against all of the greenery.
When it came to her ceremony decor, Melissa didn’t have much of a vision except that she really wanted to see twinkle lights and geo lanterns used. So we constructed a suspended design filled with bay laurel and tree fern, a variety of florals, and of course, twinkle lights and custom-made paper geo lanterns. It definitely added to that romantic, garden vibe that they wanted to see.
I have to say that Melissa and Andrew were such a pleasure to work with and the ideal client to have. When someone has so much trust in a florist, it truly helps us thrive and deliver the best quality designs!
Julie and Donny’s Pink and Modern SPRING Arizona Wedding
Go Pink, Or Go Home!
Couples who want something outside-the-box are some of our favorite people to work with. When Julie expressed her wedding vision as something modern, pink and whimsical that would really wow her and Donny’s guests, well, I was filled with excitement to come up with some cool ideas for them. She didn’t have an exact way to describe what she wanted, which was totally cool with me! Welcoming creative challenges is very much a part of this job, and I respect those who want to take a risk to create a wedding unlike anyone else.
These two live in Canada, but flew out with their friends and family for a special and epic day in Arizona. Thank you, Julie and Donny, for your adventurous spirits! Xo.
Painted baby’s breath, Cappuccino ranunculus (with a pop of red ranunculus), and pink pampas grass made the ceremony space really stand out. The two wanted to embrace the Southwestern elements, so to stay in line with the “modern-pink” theme we painted a few desert plants and succulents and made some cool terrarium centerpieces. The pink sand and druzy quartz tied the whole centerpiece look together. For the transition into night, we found some pink twinkle lights that we weaved throughout the centerpieces.
