Modern Arizona Desert Wedding with Orange, Blue and Gray

The mountain was glowing as the sunlight slowly lowered behind it's peaks, illuminating familiar faces, and the sweetest ceremony ever imagined.

Some Like it Classic did an amazing job with the event design and lucky for us Karlee K Photography was there to capture every little detail and all the memories that were made on Brett and Raquel's special day.

From the moment she daintily spritzed her Givenchy perfume on her neck, Raquel experienced unforgettable moments that made their wedding day unforgettable.

It was a sunny, Arizona day — far from their homes in Chicago.

Not only was the aisle accented with floating candles in glass vases, but it was also sprinkled with rose petals in shades of coral and orange.

Like how Brett kissed her after his vows in the middle of the ceremony, laughing, "It's my wedding, I can do what I want!"

And these floral arrangements? They were actually taller than the guests, and everyone could smell their sweet perfume the moment they stepped onto the grass.

Before they knew it, they were pronounced man and wife!

After they exchanged a kiss, the bride and groom turned to face their loved ones, and the flowing skirt of her white gown came to life as they walked hand-in-hand down the aisle...

But the best part of all would definitely have to be the sweet moments captured like this one!

As you can see, the reception was truly dreamy with a mix of soft candlelight and a romantic ambiance — complete with grilled cheese sandwiches at the end of the night as a late snack. YES, please!
From the sleek chandeliers and mercury candles at the reception, to the dripping crystals and white dance floor, it was a small slice of heaven and I don't know about you, but I'm feeling absolutely inspired!

Congrats to the happy couple! Now excuse me, but I have some seriously pinning to take care of. Care to join me?
