Sedona Wedding by Cameron + Kelly Studios & Sedona Bride
I love to see weddings where I just know that details were inspired by ideas that the bride found on SMP and around the blogosphere. It’s fun to know that a single detail can be translated by a bride in her own unique way and her wedding will completely represent who she is as a girl and who they are as a couple. With their own personal style stamp. Such is the case with this next absolutely lovely little wedding. Photographed beautifully by Cameron + Kelly and Katrina of Sedona Bride, it’s the epitome of darling with a style that screams totally happy and totally chic. Oh and don’t even get me started on those bridesmaids dresses. Beyond adorable. Make sure to click here to see all of the perfect details.

One of the most special parts of our wedding was the incorporation of my mom into our day {she passed recently}. My aunt and I reconstructed my mom’s veil, which was made by my mother’s mother and I was so lucky that it worked perfectly with my dress. I also used pieces of my mom’s wedding dress, and remaining parts of her veil for my bouquet wrap and my sister’s bouquet wraps (they were both my maids of honor). The same grandmother also made our wedding cakes. Eric isn’t a big cake fan, but he does like strawberry shortcake, so that’s what we had for “our cake.” We had two strawberry shortcakes, a chocolate-chocolate cake and a pina colada cake, all lovingly and beautifully made by my grandma.
I insisted on family style food service for our reception. I wanted people to feel like they just sat down for a big family dinner, I wanted them to talk and pass food like they would in their own dining room. Shelly did an amazing job of making that happen and every single person raved about how amazing the food was!
One of my favorite memories of our wedding day was walking down the aisle. Not because people were focused on me, in fact, it turns out I really hate being the center of attention, but it was quiet. It was me, it was my dad and we were walking towards my future. It was threatening to rain all day and as we started to walk down the aisle, the thunder clapped, but no rain. I can’t help but think it was my mom voicing her presence and letting us all know that she was part of our day. After that, no more thunder, no more rain.
We also made the decision to bring a little culture to our wedding. Eric’s entire family is Hispanic and we thought it would be really fun to bring in things that were representative of his heritage. One key element that did this was the tradition of the Lasso. It basically replaces the unity candle or sand ceremony. It binds bride and groom with a rosary in a figure 8, or the symbol of eternity, while they say their vows. For our cocktail hour, we created a fiesta complete with Mariachi band, margaritas, chips and salsa bar and “Dia de los Muertos” tissue paper cut outs. We were so thankful that we were able to actually attend part of our cocktail hour due to the phenomenal scheduling on behalf of our wonderful photographers, cameron + kelly studios, who by the way were amazing the whole day.
It’s crazy to me that you spend months and months planning an evening that is over so fast, and though you get annoyed and sick of the planning process, and though you can’t imagine anything that could possibly be worth your time and effort, your wedding comes and then it’s gone and you would do anything to do it all over again. Our wedding really was the best day of my life so far, I became a wife and married my best friend; there’s not much that can beat that!

I absolutely love the bridesmaids dresses!
GORGEOUS!! these were my wedding colors too so I am partial, but I will never get sick of super pretty, happy, coral pink wedding photos! love the bride's dress too, she's so pretty!
wow... completely gave me the shivers about the thunder... beautiful wedding
The jars are beautiful
Gorgeous!
I just did an engagement shoot yesterday and the bride-to-be was like "Um, ok, have you seen 'Style Me Pretty' before? My goal for my wedding is to be on there. To actually marry George and make it on the Style Me Pretty blog." haha We'll see if she does it? ;)
The thunder was beautiful and made me cry - what a lucky bride to have such wonderful, supportive family around her to help keep her mother's memory in the wedding. A grandmother-made cake is the best wedding cake ever!
I loved all of it and will be copying those ribbon sticks :)
Those flowers are just to die for. Such beautiful colors!! Wonderful story as well, I always think of my grandmother during thunderstorms (she loved them) so I really understood what the bride felt. It must have been a very emotional day for her, and she is just radiant!!
Such a sweet, happy/fun wedding! Love how she included her mother and her grooms culture! So pretty!
Huge shout out to Katrina Wallace of sedona bride who was on "detail duty" all day long. She rocked a lot of these detail shots. Jamelle Kelly, my business partner and trusty second photographer, was put on bed rest a few days before this event and Katrina stepped is (as best friends often do) and helped me shoot this gorgeous event. To Danielle: you were glowing and I love the shot of your Dad when the thunder rolled. You two are such a sweet couple and all your attention to detail is going to inspire others!
I love her dress! So fresh
I CANT BELIEVE MY EYES!!! I am THRILLED to be on this blog! I used style me pretty religiously throughout the planning!! This is AMAZING!! THANK YOU ALL!!!
Love this wedding and love all the pink! So fun!
What a beautiful, fun and romantic wedding. I love all the colors, it's so feminine and stylish.
I love coral! Beautiful photos!
What a beautiful and thoughtful way to remember Danielle's mother. I especially love that portions of her mother's veil were wrapped around her bouquet -- when I get married, the initials of my grandmother and step-mother, who have passed on, will be embroidered on the ribbon that ties around my bouquet.
I also just love the couple's photo booth. It's a great way to include guests in your photos, and in fact, there's a post on Pretty Little Weddings today on how to make a great photo booth.
Where did she get the ribbon wands? So cute!
the colors are beautiful! love the paper garland and the ribbon wands! so beautiful!
Hi Kelli, You should check out Etsy vendor Romancing Juliet, who makes ribbon wands for about $1 each.
Here's a listing on Romancing Juliet's shop for ribbon wands very similar to those pictured above: http://www.etsy.com/listing/54991107/instead-of-rice-mini-ribbon-sticksyou?ref=sr_gallery_9&ga_search_query=ribbon+wands&ga_search_type=&ga_page=1&order=&includes[0]=tags .
Hope that helps!
Gorgeous wedding!! That bouquet is unreal!
Can you tell me which color the bari jay dress is?? I see it on their website but the only color that looks close is "coral" but it looks orange on the website
