A Formal Desert Wedding at Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North in Scottsdale, Arizona

The outdoor wedding of Hallee Deutchman (28 and an engineer) and Brian Pivar (29 and a financial analyst) brought black tie to the desert. “I am very straitlaced and my husband is fun and goofy, so our wedding was a combination of opposites,” Hallee says. “I loved the idea of black tie outside and the juxtaposition of the Wild West and formal.” Imoni Events helped the couple create a modern, black-and-white atmosphere around the Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North in Scottsdale, Arizona. “Since we were building a new life together in Phoenix, Arizona, we wanted to get married in an area that introduced our family and friends to our new home,” Hallee says. “Cactuses decorate the property, which still manages to be chic through the hard Western exterior.” Hallee’s wedding dress embodied her modern style with a whimsical touch: The fitted silk bodice with a cummerbund and flowy tulle skirt were perfect yet sophisticated for her outdoor wedding too. “Between my princess ball gown and my sparkly flats, several people—including my husband during our first look—told me I looked like Cinderella,” the bride says. Even the desserts matched the theme: The wedding cake, covered in solid-gold fondant with a single white sugar flower, captured the formal essence of the day, but when the late-night snacks (such as donuts and peanut butter cups) came out, the party let loose. The couple’s favorite part? “Brian and I had dreamed that our families would interact at the resort during the weekend,” Hallee says. “My husband was so happy to report that he had found relatives from both sides swimming in the pool and enjoying margaritas. Mission accomplished!” See the stunning details captured by Eyes 2 See Photography, below.
