Patch & Gracie

Tim, an on-call doctor, and Gracie, a patient with a hand injury requiring stitches—their first encounter reads like a scene from a romantic comedy. Gracie now reflects on her scar as a tangible reminder of the day she met Tim, stating that only a ring from him could ever feel right on that hand. Their engagement, a sweet and personal moment, unfolded during a casual walk in their favorite Columbus, Ohio, park. Tim, recalling a playful joke from their first date ("Did you hire this saxophonist to propose to me?"), surprised Gracie with a live saxophonist, making her lighthearted jest a beautiful reality three years later. This charming backstory set the stage for their equally unique wedding at The Oasis at Wild Horse Ranch, a stunning Tucson wedding venue.

​

Gracie and Tim envisioned their wedding as a "desert disco," a theme that perfectly captured the kitschy energy and vibrant colors of their celebration against the rustic ranch setting. The Oasis at Wild Horse Ranch, perched high above Tucson, Arizona, offered breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding desert landscape. The venue's elevated location provided stunning vantage points, ideal for capturing memorable Tucson wedding photography and videography. A golden rug runner marked the aisle, leading to a simple wooden altar framed by towering cacti and a soft, purple-hued desert sky—a classic Tucson wedding backdrop. Gracie, radiant in a minimalist silk gown by Grace Loves Lace, paired it with a shimmering gold-crystal veil, adding a touch of desert glamour. As the evening chill descended, she added a luxurious fur stole for warmth. Later, she transformed into a sequined catsuit and a sparkling silver-fringed jacket, ready to embrace the lively dance party atmosphere. Tim looked sharp in a custom-made linen suit, complete with a personalized bolo tie featuring a photo of the couple and their dog, adding a personal touch to his Tucson wedding attire.

The décor at The Oasis at Wild Horse Ranch beautifully blended the rustic desert landscape with pops of electric color. Soft ivory floral arrangements complemented the natural surroundings, while bold, vibrant hues injected energy into the celebration. The bridesmaids looked stunning in a spectrum of pinks, from delicate blush to vibrant magenta, while the groomsmen sported stylish rusty orange suits, creating a visually striking contrast against the desert backdrop. Knowing the Tucson evenings can get cool, Gracie thoughtfully provided personalized scarves for her guests, a detail that was much appreciated as the desert night unfolded. Playful, retro-font signage added a touch of whimsy, including an oversized poster illustrating their unique love story. The escort card table, crafted from multi-colored disco balls, perfectly embodied the desert disco theme. An array of fun props, including disco glasses and glow sticks, fueled a lively dance party under the vast Tucson night sky, creating a truly memorable Tucson wedding reception.
