On a fated night in Scottsdale, Kristy and Josh met. The couple’s love was celebrated February 9, 2014 at Villa Siena. Guests were welcomed with candles in vases leading into the Villa. The couple’s initials rested on the welcome table along with family wedding photos of relatives.

The indoor ceremony began with live guitar music. During the ceremony the officiant talked about love as embodying the acts of both giving and receiving. To spark their coming together as one, Kristy and Josh lit a unity candle.

To celebrate the beginning of a new life, Kristy wore a wedding gown with lace sleevelets and crystal belt. The gown was overlaid with lace. A veil covered loose curls with lace edging for the ceremony. After the ceremony, the bride shed her veil for a diamond fascinator. Kristy’s bouquet kept with the soft tones of the day, with blush roses and white hydrangeas wrapped in white satin. Underneath her gown, the bride wore open-toed shoes with crystal details. Bridesmaids were dressed in taupe strapless gowns with an empire waist.

The color scheme was filled with desert colors. Both the groom and groomsmen wore sand colored tuxedos with vests and ties.
