The sun is shining and the votes are in for Arizona Bride’s Best of 2026. In this feature, you’ll find more than a list: it is a curated roster of Arizona’s most talented wedding professionals, vetted by the industry itself. Through a month-long online voting process, peers nominated and voted for vendors who consistently raise the bar. Whether you’re searching for a gown that feels like it was made for you (because it was) or a dining experience that rivals any fine restaurant, the visionaries on this year’s list are ready to bring your vision to life.

And there is still more to celebrate with our Editor’s Choice Awards.This is where our editorial team shares the moments that made us catch our breath. We suggest taking a deep breath before diving in (page 42).

Furthermore, you’ll discover that bold color palettes and playful concepts have pushed neutrals to the background; think sunsets in the desert (page 36), a dose of maximalism in magenta (page 38) and designs rich with storytelling (page 97).

We had the luxury of working with some of the most talented professionals for our feature stories. Your Jubilee and Stoddard Floral & Co. joined creative forces at The Hermosa Inn and delivered a work of beauty in a lush array of burgundy and pink (page 52). If you are in the mood for something sweet, Black Tie Optional and Amour de Sucre Bakery whipped up a decadent tableau inspired by tiramisu at The Global Ambassador (page 60).

Trust us—there’s something beautiful waiting for you on every page.
