Finding Tranquility in Scottsdale

A Colorful Disco in the Desert wedding, was the theme of Chloe and Paul’s dream destination wedding in Scottsdale, Arizona. Hailing from New Jersey, Chloe had always found peace in Scottsdale, captivated by its serene desert landscape, majestic mountains, and sunny weather. This love for the desert brought her back time and again, even before meeting Paul. Their journey together began on Tinder, they both swiped right. Hurray for technology bringing these two together!

Creating the Vision: A Disco in the Desert

To bring their vision to life, Chloe and Paul enlisted the help of Bloom and Blueprint, known for their vibrant and creative event designs. The talented team embraced the concept of a colorful disco in the desert, ensuring every detail matched the couple’s lively personalities. Chloe and her family added special handmade touches, making the decor deeply personal. Chloe’s aunt, a local artist, crafted beautiful cow skulls. These were set amongst potted cacti at the ceremony spot and at the focal point where the couple sat at the long reception table. In the nights leading up to the wedding, Chloe and her bridesmaids stayed up late, meticulously creating colorful strings of pom-poms. These vibrant decorations added handmade charm to the lively desert disco theme.

Flaunting Unique Wedding Attire

The disco in the desert theme showcased Chloe and Paul’s unique style. Not only showcased in the event design, but through their wedding attire as well. Chloe dazzled in a silvery white, fully beaded, and sparkly wedding gown, complemented by a cowboy hat and veil. Her look perfectly captured the disco-in-the-desert vibe. Paul made a bold statement in a cream custom suit adorned with embroidered cacti, snakes, and mushrooms. The pièce de résistance was the back of his suit, featuring an alien couple in a spaceship of love, showcasing their quirky and fun-loving personalities.

Wedding Photos Unlike Anyone Else’s

Chloe envisioned unique and organic wedding photos, far from the typical wedding party images. So, after the first look, we met up with the wedding party. They were staying cool in the Rise Uptown hotel room. Accentuating the funky vibe of their wedding with equally unique wedding party photos was a challenge I was excited about. Embracing the funky vibe of the wedding, I suggested a creative and unconventional group photo. We had everyone pile onto the bed in different positions—some standing, some sitting, and even one brave bridesmaid lying upside-down. The result was a dynamic and playful photo indicative of Chloe and Paul’s colorful disco in the desert wedding.

Experiencing an Emotional Ceremony

Ava, Chloe’s close friend, officiated the ceremony, creating a deeply emotional event filled with laughter and tears. The personal connection and heartfelt words made the ceremony incredibly special, leaving a lasting impression on everyone present.

Disco the Night Away

After some stunning desert portraits and family photos, Chloe and Paul eagerly kicked off their disco in the desert reception. The custom cow-print dance floor quickly became the focal point of the evening. Chloe, dazzling in her rhinestone boots and sparkly fringe outfit, and Paul danced the night away. Their infectious energy and joy kept the dance floor packed and the party alive.

Chloe and Paul’s colorful disco in the desert wedding perfectly blended personal touches, vibrant decor, and unique moments. From handmade decorations to unconventional wedding photos, every aspect of the day reflected their love and creativity. The lively atmosphere, emotional ceremony, and unforgettable reception made this desert celebration a night to remember.
