We love this venue and think it needs more recognition! 🍊

was once part of a historic 450 acre citrus grove dating back to the early 1920’s. 🌴

Today The Urban Grove continues to thrive as a small but intimate citrus grove & date palm oasis but it now opens its doors as an exclusive event space. ✨

It offers an atmosphere of “old world charm” with the original Mexican Saltillo tile and stone floors throughout the home, wood beamed ceilings and a huge beehive fireplace are a few of the elements that have been maintained to perfection while carefully preserving the original charm and details from a bygone era which create an authentic Southwest ambiance that is unmatched. 🏜️

The outdoor space has a sparkly blue pool and is surrounded by date palms strung with market lights, perfect for those warm Arizona nights.

Alexis looking STUNNING in her portraits! ✨🤍 The off the shoulder sleeves, layered pearl necklaces and high slit that showcases her strappy heels with white bows was a gorgeous combination. Add in our bouquet with pink, toffee and coral garden roses, white ranunculus and airy, ivory pampas grass and you’ve got yourself an absolutely gorgeous bridal look 😍

Our Tips For Having a Wedding in Hot Weather 👇

Timing is Key

— Choose the Right Time of Day: Opt for a late afternoon or early evening ceremony when temperatures are cooler. This also provides an opportunity for beautiful sunset photos.

— Seasonal Considerations: If possible, choose a date during a cooler season or shoulder season when the temperatures might be more moderate.

Sun Protection

— Sunscreen: Provide sunscreen stations for guests, especially if your ceremony is outdoors and during peak sun hours.

— Shade and Umbrellas: Use umbrellas, canopies, or natural shade to protect guests from the sun. Consider providing parasols, fans, or even personalized sunglasses for guests.

Hydration and Refreshments

— Hydration Stations: Set up water stations with cold water, infused water, or other refreshing drinks. Offer plenty of non-alcoholic options to keep guests hydrated.

— Cold Treats: Offer cool treats like ice cream, popsicles, or chilled fruit to help guests stay cool.

Photography and Makeup

— Photography Timing: Plan for photo sessions during cooler parts of the day and ensure there’s shade for the couple and guests.

— Makeup: Use long-lasting, waterproof makeup products to prevent makeup from melting or smudging in the heat.

Guest Comfort

— Dress Code: Consider a more relaxed dress code for guests, allowing them to dress comfortably for the heat.

— Inform Guests: Let guests know in advance about the weather conditions and encourage them to dress accordingly.

Plan for the Unexpected

Backup Plan: Have a backup plan in case of extreme heat or unexpected weather changes, such as an indoor space or additional cooling measures.

And of course keep the bouquets in water as long as you can and put them back in water when not using them.

We love Tucson weddings and want everyone to enjoy themselves and make the best of this beautiful desert we call home!

On this chilly February morning we woke to pouring rain and snow on the hills behind Tanque Verde Ranch. Hard to imagine now when it’s going to be 108 in Tucson today. We weren’t sure if the ceremony could even be held outdoors that day. But when I delivered Mikayla’s bouquet to her room she was in great spirits. Excited to marry her best friend no matter the weather. Luckily the clouds broke just in time to lighten the rain and snow and send sun beams down on their late afternoon ceremony ☀️ Making for a beautiful and emotional union of two families.

When traditional southwest style meets springtime love — you get an event like this. After the romantic vows were exchanged in the historic the newlyweds led their guests to a sumptuous feast surrounded by saguaro cacti and mesquite trees. Tables adorned with candles and desert blooms inviting guests to indulge in a culinary journey inspired by flavors of the Sonoran region. After the meal, guests swayed to the rhythm of mariachi melodies under string lights and a canopy of stars ✨

We love tailoring each bouquet to each bride and event 🤍
