Danielle and Nick

Danielle and Nick just have to be the sweetest two people I have ever met. Their ceremony and reception was held at Bentley Projects in downtown Phoenix and it was all a reflection of them and how much fun they are.

The wedding colors were black and white with a touch of red from the flowers, the linens were alternated between a floral pattern on some of the tables and black on the rest in which the vases were lighted and varied as well.



The brick walls of the gallery were gorgeous for photography purposes!


A graffiti "LOVE" theme was carried into all the details, from these escort cards to a guest sign in to pillows and on and on, so cute! Thank you Kelsey of Flossy Stylish Design for all the fun paper products.



The Flower Studio designed the unique vases and beautiful centerpieces and all of the personal flowers. Special thanks so Emily of EME Photography, I know she had fun photography this one!

I miss planning with you Danielle, it was so fun!







Mary and Patrick

This is one of my most favorite photos, Mary looks so beautiful as the finishing touches were put on her.
Mary and Pat were married at a church in Tempe then had their reception at Tempe Mission Palms Resort this past October. Almost all of their guests came from out of state so it was a fun weekend with numerous events planned for them.

Mary and Pat met on an airplane so their cookie favors also served as each guest's placecard.






The Flower Studio designed beautiful fall centerpieces that made the reception room come alive with color. Mary's bouquet was amazing as well.



Congrats to a wonderful couple! Thanks Emily Estfan once again for sharing your wonderful talent in photography





Keisha and Darrin




Keisha and Darrin were married on October 3rd at Keisha's grandparents home in North Scottsdale. Their home is amazing and makes for a wonderful wedding location as you can see by the photo where the ceremony was held.
Arizona Taste prepared a fabulous meal for the dinner reception. The beautiful table decor was provided by Sherrie Husband of Flowers with Flair.
Thank you Emily Estfan of EME Photography for your truly wonderful photography to document the day!
Keisha and Darrin live in Texas but it was so fun to plan with them even from far away, best wishes Keisha and Darrin!!

Julieann and Michael

Okay, this wedding was actually my first wedding in 2008 (January). Julieann was so sweet to send me these pictures a few days ago so I wanted to share them with you. They wanted their ceremony in a circle which was perfect for the ceremony location at the Biltmore Resort and Spa.
Julieann and Michael following the ceremony. Julieann was lots of fun to plan with, she was really busy with her job so when she had time to work on wedding plans she got a lot of things accomplished in a short amount of time!
The ballroom was gorgeous! Once again Sami Hansen was the amazing florist. The beautiful chocolate linens and chair covers are from Chair Covers and Linens, my local contact is Debbie Polley, she is so great!
My talented daughter, Kelsey of Flossy Stylish Design designed the invitations and paper products. Thanks Kevin King Photography!

Dot and Chris

Dot and Chris were married this past July on a very warm day in Arizona. Despite the heat they had a fun day. Their wedding colors of tiffany blue and strawberry red were perfect for the season and made the reception venue look so amazing! The linens and sashes were from Chair Covers and Linens, thanks Debbie!

Cute little candle favors that said "something blue"

Congrats to a cute couple!!

I love this photo of Dot's dress so beautiful. This was my last wedding of this past season. Thank you Reeves Photography for the great photos!


THIS season started this weekend and I have vowed to post those weddings as they happen weekly!! Watch for cute photos of Keisha and Darrin in the coming days.

Thank you Jenna!!

After I had posted Jenna and Travis' wedding to my blog, Jenna emailed me this fabulous review I just have to share it, thanks so much Jenna!!

Sandy Walker you are a dream come true!
When Travis and I got engaged we knew there was no way around it – we had to have YOU planning our wedding.
After watching you do a fabulous job with my sister’s wedding, we knew there was no one better suited for the job.

Not only were you always organized and creative, but your vendor recommendation lists were top-notch!
It seemed like every vendor we met with would say how they would love to work our wedding, because you were our wedding coordinator. Those comments say a lot about you and the positive way you run your business, and that made us more than confident for a beautiful wedding!

With Kelsey by your side, we couldn’t have dreamed of a more successful team!

You truly made our wedding wishes come true!
Thank you so much!

Jenna & Travis Wodiske

Jenna and Travis!

Wow, I love this couple!! Jenna and Travis are the best. I met Jenna's family when I coordinated Jenna's sister's wedding, Michelle a few years ago and their whole family is amazing, along with Michelle's husband Jason. SO, I was so excited when Jenna contacted me to assist in her planning. Jenna at the time of our planning was an event planner in the corporate world so she brought lots of fun ideas.



I have a lot in common with this couple. Travis had just graduated from Veterinary School and was accepted into the surgical graduate program at Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine. My husband also graduated from the College of Veterinary Medicine at KSU. And we now have the same wedding anniversary, June 7th!
Jenna and her dad heading up the aisle.
My friend Sami Hansen once again was the amazing florist, I think I will go to New York and drag her back to Phoenix.
The bridal party had a ton of fun on a golf cart!
Best wishes Jenna and Travis in cold Kansas, we will be feeling really badly for you this winter :)
Thanks Kevin King for the wonderful photography.

Missy and Austin

Missy and Austin's wedding was in Sedona so they had an amazing backdrop for their wedding. The fact that the 2 of them and their families are adorable also made for some great photos! You can enjoy more pictures in the gallery of my website. Sami Hansen, now of Bella Fleur in New York, was the wonderful florist, I really miss that girl! Thank you AGAIN, Emily Estfan, EME Photography for making the trip with us to Sedona, wasn't it great to NOT shoot in the desert for one wedding!


Katie and Stephen

Katie and Stephen were married on a beautiful day this past April at Troon Country Club In North Scottsdale. Katie doesn't live too far from me so we had some fun times of planning since it was easy for us to meet. You can see more pictures in the gallery on my website, but these are some of my favorites.

Katie also can sing beautifully and sometimes sings the National Anthem at
the Diamondbacks games. Katie looked so amazing!





I love this picture, everyone is so cute. Thank you, photographer Emily Estfan for another great wedding.

Stephanie and Jon

Stephanie and Jon are family friends so this was a fun wedding for me. Stephanie wanted an Old Hollywood feel to her reception and with her decor it all came together for a very fun evening. Guests greatly enjoyed having their picture taken in a photobooth from Arizona Photobooth Company.


Sherrie Husband, Flowers with Flair was the florist, and designed a different centerpiece for each of the guest tables, so fun. Thanks Emily Estfan for sharing these photos and being such a great photographer!!

Kelsey was a bridesmaid, she and Stephanie are so cute!!

Kirsten and Alex

Kirsten and Alex were married in April of 2008 in this beautiful church in Scottsdale.
The ceremony was followed by a fabulous reception at The Royal Palms, the room looked amazing.
What a cute and fun couple!!

Kirsten and Alex also had a Korean ceremony at Royal Palms prior to their reception, you can see their photo in Korean clothing in the gallery section of my website. Thank you Hollye for sharing these great photos!

Kristen and Tracey




Kristen and Tracey's guests had about the most fun I've ever seen at a wedding. Their ceremony and reception was held at the Desert Botanical Gardens in Phoenix. Truly that location is magical, everyone is really awed by the surroundings and at night it is gorgeous. I LOVE this photo of the flower girl!! You can see additional photos on the gallery page of my website but I just wanted to comment on here as well. Thank you Emily Estfan of EME Photography for the amazing photos~

Dara and Steve




Dara and Steve's wedding was another amazing event at Troon Country Club. Dara is an art teacher and loved color so it was fun to see her creativity come out as the planning progressed.
Thank you Scott and Calah of
