Haley and Justin + DIY Desert Wedding in the Desert + Tucson Wedding

Handmade barn doors draped in eucalyptus leaves and roses for the ceremony backdrop, a wall of wooden pallets covered in white flowers behind the sweetheart table, white and beige painted bottles, a lemonade stand , hand painted rustic wood signs – I was in Pinterest heaven  And to top it off, everything was handmade by the bride.  Haley actually built everything from scratch for her wedding, even the barn doors!  This beautiful DIY wedding for Haley and Justin  took place at the bride’s parents home in Tucson.  Everything was even more special because Justin (Air Force) had just returned from deployment and was able to spend his wedding day  with his 2 brothers (Marines) for the first time in several years.

This awesome couple got dressed and did a first look at the Omni Tucson Resort while operation wedding was underway back at the house.  When we arrived back at their home, a fully organized team of family and friends had transformed an empty space into a wedding oasis in the desert.  The sunset ceremony was followed by a catered bbq dinner with informal seating.  A delicious assortment of pies and cakes followed dinner and dancing (pumpkin, strawberry key lime, blueberry cream, dutch caramel and chocolate creme!) and then couple drove off after a sparkler getaway.  A perfect day and evening.
