Hannah and Ben’s wedding at The Willow Weddings & Event Center unfolded as a heartfelt ode to family, creativity and intentional design. They met during the pandemic while coaching volleyball at the University of Utah; their friendship grew naturally into a relationship rooted in trust, adventure and ease. That spirit carried into their wedding, where every detail felt like a reflection of the couple. Set against the Arizona desert, the day was light, airy and effortlessly vibrant. The floral design was an organic, textural expression of joy in a whimsical palette of yellows and purples mixed with golden desert blooms. Lush bouquets, free-flowing arrangements and the pedestal ceremony display appeared to have sprung from the earth. Personal touches made the day even more meaningful—Hannah designed the invitations, wore her mother’s diamond necklace and received a handmade scarf from a neighbor. Instead of cake, Ben’s mom baked a cherry pie, his favorite, while guests took home handcrafted candles and handwritten notes. Trusting their vendors completely, Hannah and Ben let creativity lead, resulting in a celebration that felt natural, warm and deeply personal. “Find vendors you genuinely trust, let go of perfection and lean into the joy,” advises the couple. “Don’t be afraid to make your day feel like you, as that’s what makes it unforgettable.”
