From ‘I Do’ to Tattoos: This Wedding at the Icehouse Had It All, White Roses, a Tattoo Station & 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 contrast — a 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 — 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.

Kaylee + Nick's Intimate CopperWynd Wedding

My first impression of Kaylee and Nick was that they were both extremely down-to-Earth people who deeply care for one another. It’s endearing to meet a couple like this and have them as our clients. It’s also refreshing to have a couple that are both present at the first consultation, as well as throughout the entire floral design process. Kaylee and Nick wanted to plan every detail of their wedding together from start to finish. I have a lot of respect for that because it shows that they truly have a loving partnership and want to make decisions as a team. It also allows us to get to know them individually so that we’re able to incorporate each personality into the overall design of their wedding.

This was a fairly smaller wedding than most with about 65 guests, so the couple wanted to really have fun dressing up the tables for their friends and family to enjoy. They had mentioned using a lot of greenery, so we opted to incorporate as assortment of eucalyptus for garland, and then placed a mix of small and large lanterns down the center of the tables. It was just enough to create something that was memorable without going overboard, which was what the couple was aiming for. The two also wanted the arch to be a focal point for their wedding, so we used a lot of eucalyptus, garden roses and antique carnations for a look that still made a statement, but didn’t take away from the breath-taking, mountainous background. Seriously, that view is epic!

And there was an awesome Solar System themed wedding cake that was a fun symbol of their love for outer space.
