Prismera Design
Prismera Design has launched a new couture collection of fabric necklaces that utilize a variety of materials including: Japanese chiffon, pleated velvet, or heavy cotton twill. Laura, the designer, name the collection “PD Couture” due to the handcrafted nature of each necklace. Each necklace is cut and layered, sewn, then draped on a mannequin and secured. Some of the designs are limited editions and the necklaces range in price from $45 to $330. They are available online at prismeradesign.com. These necklaces would work for either a bride that wants a statement necklace or even as bridesmaids gifts. And, for a limited time, each order will receive an exclusive watercolor postcard featuring the Jenesis necklace. via brendasweddingblog
Sedona Spring Elopement
We are having beautiful spring weather here in Red Rock Country. Lori and Nathan escaped Iowa weather to elope in Sedona last week. They were driven from their resort in a beautiful limousine to the stunning Red Rock Crossing for their ceremony. They later dined on unforgettable cuisine at the L’Auberge de Sedona Restaurant. It was a memorable few days in Sedona. Lori and Nathan relaxed with spa treatments at the Amara Spa; took an exciting Pink Jeep tour and soaked up the beauty of Sedona.
Call us for your destination elopement and experience the best.

Sedona Wedding Cakes
Award winning wedding cake artist Donna Joy of Sedona Sweet Arts has done it again. This is such a fun, whimsical and beautiful cake. The cake is inverted and custom made for the bride and groom. The bride has allergies so Donna made the top tier of non-dairy hazelnut latte. Yummy. The sides are adorned with sugar paisleys and dots and the fan top from sugar. The adorable bride and groom penguins were provided by the bride. Donna specializes in making delicious gluten free and dairy free wedding cakes. This cake makes me smile!
