our wedding: cocktail hour

The cocktail reception kicked off our celebration and was hosted in a secret garden which guests could access through an old Moroccan door found through a hedge lined walkway.

The cocktail hour was by far where we let our personal style shine through.  We incorporated pieces from our home, vintage family wedding photos and loads and loads of metallic accents.

Our guests enjoyed hors d'oeuvres and cocktails under the setting desert sun.  It was magical to see everything come together and all our family and friends enjoying the party.  We toasted under the setting sun and geared up for the real party!
