Heather and Michael's Cloth and Flame Wedding at the Icehouse

Heather and Michael’s wedding love story is one for the books! These two are the sweetest and most charming humans, and we were so lucky to guide them during this special time! Celebrating their day in the heart of Downtown Phoenix at The Icehouse, Heather and Michael were destined to have a beautiful wedding day. They had an industrial-chic style, and the pops of disco made for the perfect fun-loving vibes!

Our bride looked stunning in her wedding gown as she shared a special moment with her mom while getting an extra hand to be dressed. Heather and her bridesmaids glammed and snapped photos in their dressing room while Michael and his groomsmen had their model moments outside.

Cloth and Flame did an amazing job bringing Heather and Michael’s vision to life with their wedding decor. Everyone was in love with the color scheme and scene of this wedding. As more guests arrived, they were welcomed to stop for a small charcuterie board snack or to fill out a sweet note at the welcome table.

The moment had finally come! As Heather made her way down the aisle to her soon-to-be husband, we couldn’t help but notice the tears of happiness that were running down the groom’s face. It was truly a touching and intimate moment for the two, and it was obvious that they are meant for each other! After their solidifying kiss, the newlyweds took the time to get family photos. Sadie B. Photo and Film is a pro and did an amazing job with snapping all of the important moments and taking the time to get some unique shots. With such a beautiful couple, there were many different photo style opportunities!

How stunning and unique are these photos! The florals by Wild Posy were just the perfect touch of color that Heather was wanting to incorporate for her wedding. With pink, maroon, and other soft-like tones, Heather’s bouquet was a personal favorite!

The reception was such a fun time! With delicious food from Modern Tortilla and Oakwood Fire Pizza, guests were able to eat and snack all evening. Heather and Michael added a dessert table, made by Cake by Kenna, and it was a hit! Adding something a little different like donuts lets guests enjoy a sweet treat after disco dancing the night away!

The Riding Tandem team is so thankful for having the opportunity to help plan the wedding of Heather and Michael. We hope for a lifetime of happiness and adventure. We are always overjoyed with these experiences!
