Disco-Inspired Wedding in the Arizona Desert
A Colorful, Disco-Inspired Wedding in the Arizona Desert was a vibrant celebration that perfectly blended personal touches, bold design, and epic entertainment—and it was recently featured in Brides Magazine. Held in Scottsdale, Arizona, Alexandria and Aaron Kressin’s wedding was anything but ordinary. With an emphasis on fun and connection, the couple turned their big day into an unforgettable weekend experience for their closest family and friends.
Instead of opting for a traditional venue, the couple chose a private estate in Scottsdale with three on-site homes, giving them the opportunity to host a true destination-style event. Guests were encouraged to stay on property for the weekend, which fostered a sense of intimacy and community. The estate not only provided lodging but also offered a spacious lawn, pool area, and desert views—the perfect backdrop for a weekend of celebration.
The estate’s management team was a key partner in making the multi-day event seamless and stress-free. From coordinating arrival times to assisting with amenities, the team ensured guests were comfortable and the couple could focus on enjoying every moment.
The wedding’s design theme was coined as “desert in bloom,” a fresh and funky take on desert-inspired colors layered with disco details. Think: vibrant floral installations, colorful textiles, and mirror balls galore. With the help of the planning and design team, the couple created a visual experience that was both sophisticated and playful.
To highlight guest interaction, the reception space featured an innovative caterpillar-style table layout that mixed round and rectangular tables in a serpentine shape across the lawn. It created a communal vibe and helped encourage conversation throughout the night.
Furniture and rentals played a huge role in pulling together the visual concept. The L Shape Colette Sofa – a focal point in the center of the ceremony, this bright and colorful sofa grounded the layout and created a social hub for guests.
Contrasting natural wood tones with vibrant colors created the perfect palette for a desert disco. Soft seating gave guests a place to relax between dancing, while bold decor moments like metallic vases and colorful pillows kept the vibe stylish and photo-ready.
Every element of the celebration reflected the couple’s personality. From custom drink stirrers to a perfectly curated playlist, nothing was left to chance. As day turned to night, the space transformed with lighting, mirror balls, and high-energy music that kept the dance floor packed well into the evening.
The couple also leaned into retro inspiration with pops of 70s flair throughout the event, including bright signage and fun patterns. It was the kind of event where every corner was Instagram-worthy, and every detail had a story.
