A Rustic Desert Wedding at Juniper Well Ranch in Skull Valley, Arizona

Maren Delaney (27, speech pathologist) and Josh Sweetin (33, medical sales representative) met at happy hour with friends, but their connection was far from love at first sight. Two months later, Maren answered a call from Josh asking her to go out on a date to her favorite restaurant, so she couldn't refuse. The couple fell for each other over dinner talking about their families and have been inseparable ever since. Six years later, while on a trip to Dallas to see a college rivalry football game with friends and family, Josh proposed. The couple chose a secluded ranch vineyard in Skull Valley, Arizona for their wedding venue, a 5-mile dirt road away from cell phone service so their visiting families could just focus on love and getting to know one another. The wedding party dressed in neutral colors, with the bridesmaids each choosing their own style of dress. The couple's love of Arizona influenced the color palette of nudes with blue and green accents. Each bouquet had nude and blush flowers with accents of agave. For decor, Maren and Josh juxtaposed elegant furniture with the rough look of the desert for decor and display tables. The couple also had a horseshoe court set up and beautiful sitting areas for their guests to relax. At the end of the night, guests could roast s'mores over an open fire and take home a jar of honey from the Sonoran desert to cap off the comfortable, elegant day of love.
