My Tucson Wedding

Stacy and Christoper were married on February 28th at Saguaro Buttes at 5:15 pm. Although it rained most of the day, they were still able to have their ceremony outside and afterward the sun came out and they were able to get some beautiful sunset photos. Stacy and Christopher met 3 years ago and they had wedding guests from Florida, North Dakota, New York, Kansas, and California.

Bridget and Ryan were married on another beautiful Arizona evening in February, (Feb. 27th), with a glowing sunset. Bridget and Ryan met in October 2007 at the Fire Cracker Restaurant. They had guests from Washington, Mass., New York, California, Colorado, and China.

This center piece was used at a recent wedding at Saguaro Buttes. As you may notice, there is a live Beta fish swimming around in it. It makes for a nice conversation during the dinner hour. The bride gave them away as gifts to the guests at the end of the evening.

Melanie and Adam were married on February 26th, 2010 at 5:30 PM at Saguaro Buttes on a beautiful Southern Arizona evening.  Melanie and Adam met each other in September 2005. They had wedding guests from a number of states, including, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Hawaii, California, Illinois, Indiana, Florida,  and Washington.

A nice way of making your guests feel special at your wedding is to provide an Expresso Bar during your reception. At a recent wedding at Saguaro Buttes “Cart Concepts” was hired to provide wedding guests with Latte, Mocha, Espresso, Smoothies and Italian Sodas among other drinks. It was by far one of the most popular parts of the wedding and also one the longest lines. You can find more info on “Cart Concepts” at www.cartconcepts.biz or call 520-440-1878 for pricing.

Three times a year at Saguaro Buttes, we host a “Taste Testing”.  This is a time for Brides and Grooms to sample many of the various dishes that are part of the menu from Rivers Edge Catering Co.  It is also a great time to meet the DJ, ask questions, and gather a few ideas.  Silvia with “Celebrations by Silvia“, is available to answer questions about Linens and Floral & Decor Design. We also have a cake provided by our in house baker Iliana from “Sweet Creations” which everyone gets to sample. It is a nice and relaxed evening with fine food, good company, and soothing music.

White and red tulips, clear beads and submersible lights gave this elegant center piece a glow throughout the evening.  Votive candles on the tables also add to the elegance of the table setting.

James and Lindsay were married on a beautiful evening in Tucson on February 13th, at 5:00 PM.  The temperatures were close to 70 degrees. They had family and friends from South Dakota, Texas, Kansas, Washington, and Colorado. They met for the first time on May 17th, 2006 in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Your Wedding day is a time to celebrate, a time to make memories, a time to gather family and friends together. It can also be a time to remember those family members that made the event possible, but are no longer among us. Memorial tables seem to be popular, and here is one with a little twist, each picture has its own candle to remember a loved one no longer with us.

The job of a ring bearer and flower girl is to be cute, at least that seems to be what they do best. Most of the time the ring bearer doesn’t carry the ring, and the flower girl doesn’t always get the flowers right, but they add cuteness to the wedding ceremony, and unpredictability. These two pictured to the right, were at a recent wedding at Saguaro Buttes.

Family seating for the wedding was made easy at this ceremony.  The bride wrote names on ribbons for each chair in the family rows.  Not only was this showing the chairs were reserved but helped grandparents and family know where to sit

Renee and Mike were married on a beautiful Tucson Evening, at Saguaro Buttes on February 6th, at 4:30 PM. The ceremony was officiated by Pastor Mark Maddox, with many family and friends in attendance.

Becca and Bryan were married Feb. 5th. at 5:00 pm on a beautiful evening at Saguaro Buttes, with sunny skies, and temperatures around 65 degrees.

Becca Hope, being a linguist and a bride at Saguaro Buttes had a unique way of numbering or marking each table at her wedding for table assignments. She had “I Love You” written out in eight different languages. Each table had one of the markers and the table assignments were assigned accordingly. Becca speaks many of these languages fluently is to be married to Bryan Hansen on February 5th.

Wedding Cake Toppers come in a variety of styles, colors and themes. You may choose to have a Monogram or Traditional cake topper or a more humorous one like the one pictured here. Here is a web site to give you some ideas on the variety of choices you have to choose from. (click here)

This ring bearer found the candy ring on the pillow too much of a temptation to hold off taking a lick or two. Sometimes it is those candid photos that are the most precious. Now-a-days the ring bearer many times carries a fake ring, and the best man has the actual rings. This makes for less mishaps during the ceremony.

This Bride and Groom (Brady and Carla) decided instead of a unity candle or unity Sand to add a little humor by tying their feet together with a ball and chain at the end of their wedding ceremony. It was a surprise to their guest as they pulled it out of a box and attached it to their feet. It received quit a few laughs.
