Real Wedding: Michelle & Russell at Ocotillo Oasis, AZ

Michelle and Russell were absolutely glowing during their garden wedding at Ocotillo Oasis by Wedgewood Weddings. This gleeful couple said 'I do' to a waterfront wedding ceremony among the lush gardens at Ocotillo Oasis, surrounded by breathtaking floral arrangements and flowing waterfalls. We loved helping Michelle and Russell plan their Phoenix-area wedding, complete with a cameo from their fur child. Take a stroll through these charming botanical nuptials and enjoy Chandler, Arizona's hidden desert oasis.

Michelle and Russell's garden nuptials were truly unforgettable - from the breathtaking views overlooking the water to the blush flower arrangements that adorned their ceremony site: 

“We loved Michelle & Russell’s ceremony set-up on our lower lawn! Being close to water was super important to them and utilizing our lower lawn allowed them to have our beautiful lake in the background. They even brought in their fur baby to be by her side as they walked down the aisle!”

“Michelle & Russell are an incredible couple to work with.
