Our passion is seeing wedding pros in the Arizona area creating unique and unforgettable experiences for their couples. So when a wedding turns out far better than we could have ever imagined…we have to celebrate!
Seeing the vision Hanna and Jake had for their desert wedding come to life was nothing short of amazing. We’re in awe of this incredible transformation — from an intimate ceremony to a festive celebration — at the Sanctuary Resort!
We figured we’d share the excitement and show you how everything came together for this real Arizona wedding — and so you can see what planning with an I Do Arizona vendor might look like. Scroll to see highlights from Hanna and Jake’s big day (and to get some desert wedding inspo for your own wedding!).
Real Arizona Wedding Highlight: From Sunset to Starlight: A Ceremony Flip
Planned and designed by the talented Jessica Gelder of Shine Events AZ, this wedding was filled with so many special details.
The day began with a stunning sunset ceremony, which then flipped into a romantic, candlelit dinner under the stars. The seamless transition was truly magical and set the stage for an unforgettable evening.
Some of our favorite details include a touching memorial sand/candle table, honoring loved ones…
Elegant sandstone seating chart and table numbers, adding a unique, natural element to the design…
And a dazzling champagne tower, a fun and festive addition to the reception!
These thoughtful details created a heartfelt and celebratory atmosphere that was unique to Hanna and Jake. It was a great way to celebrate their love!
Disco in the Desert: The Ballroom Reception
Disco balls against the gorgeous Arizona desert definitely deserve their own section! The transformation from ceremony to reception continued into the ballroom, where a "disco in the desert" theme came to life, thanks to the incredible work of Bloom & Blueprint.
The space was transformed into a dazzling dance floor, complete with a massive ceiling installation and glowing wall features.
Having disco balls galore, created such a fun atmosphere!
Overall, each of these elements created a vibrant and festive energy, perfect for celebrating Hanna and Jake.
