We're going for a springy color theme with cool-toned neutral shades of brown and grey, and natural shades of green and light pink (refer to picture above). The bridesmaids will be wearing dark olive dresses, and the groomsmen will be wearing medium grey suits. Feel free to wear something that fits this theme, or go with your own style!
The 30-minute ceremony will be outdoors, and the reception will be indoors. Once the sun goes down and it's a bit cooler, we'll open up the reception area to enjoy some fun outdoor activities!
We'll keep this updated as we get closer, but historical averages for Black Canyon City have a high temperature around 98 degrees F on June 2nd. We will have outdoor air conditioners available outside to help during the ceremony, and the reception will be indoors with cold air conditioning. We'll also have popsicles and plenty of ice water available to help keep cool :)
