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!”
- Natalia, Ocotillo Oasis by Wedgewood Weddings
It was Michelle and Russell's dream to get married by the water, which can be a bit of a challenge for a Phoenix-area wedding venue. Fortunately for the bride- and groom-to-be found the hidden sanctuary at Ocotillo Oasis which is filled with babbling waterfalls, lush English gardens, and beautiful greenery covering every inch of the venue grounds.
Here's what the happy couple had to say:
“Our wedding day was perfect. Everyone always says that, and I often wondered if they really meant it. It’s so true. It was truly the best day of our lives. I didn’t have to worry about a thing, except getting ready. Natalia and Blayne took care of everything, I wouldn’t have changed a thing. Our wedding was so beautiful! I’ve also heard from many guests how it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had, we’ve also had multiple people tell us it was the best wedding they’ve been to. I give so much of that credit to Wedgewood, Blayne and Natalia. Having water around our ceremony and reception was so important to me and being able to get married right by water was a dream. Everything about our special day was just incredible. I couldn’t be more grateful!”
- Michelle & Russell
