We all had such chemistry that we were literally finishing each others sentences when discussing design ideas, options and logistics. Everyone was so into it. We would bounce ideas off of each other and come up with new ones neither of us might have thought of without the other’s inspiration. It was truly wedding planning as it should be… collaborative, enjoyable and productive with clear communication, vision and goals.That’s not to say their was no creative license or last-minute spontaneity. So many of those all-important details happen at the last minute, just before guests enter. That’s when the real magic happens and is what Show Stoppers is known for. Michelle totally got that and was giddy with anticipation the day of the wedding. Many of those extra details, that have not necessarily been previously discussed, just flow like magic and make the room come alive, especially with the sun setting, candles lit, ambient lighting effects and everything perfectly poised for the guests to enter. Many times Show Stoppers uses flowers placed out of water, which would not be possible if done too early. Photographers tell us all the time that capturing the room at this magical moment, when it is in it’s final glory just before the guests enter, is what brides want so badly…. to see and, be able to remember the room in its finished state as it actually looked for the guests entering the reception.The decor was eclectic including shabby-chic elements, vintage and textural details, burlap, lace, old bottles, country elements, cowgirl touches, custom dyed fabrics, unique fabric draping techniques, natural elements, stylish props and colorful flowers everywhere. It all came together beautifully with family members pitching in, friends giving a hand, professionals from the Sedona Wedding Studio and Forest Highlands Golf Club all working together in concert. Chrissy Speer, of Forest Highlands, was a jewel to work with.

The rehearsal dinner and ceremony are only part one of this exceptional wedding at Forest Highlands Golf Club. It was quite a party as you can see. Michelle and Chris took every measure to insure their guests had the time of their lives throughout the wedding from beginning to end. There was great entertainment, games for all ages, delicious cuisine, creative details, shuttles, lemonade and candy bars, organization and every comfort and convenience imaginable. This couple knew how to do it right! So, we are beginning with part one… the rehearsal dinner and ceremony. Your going to love this!
