We just love it when we get to show off Tucson couples in living color and there’s nothing like video to do that. Lucky us and lucky you–we have a great wedding trailer to share!

I do! There’s something so magical about that moment when vows are exchanged and the bride and groom’s lives become instantly changed.

Check out this link to Sara and Cullen’s wedding trailer and see if you don’t find yourself smiling as broadly as we do every time we watch it. (Yes, once in not enough!) We just love the conviction in Sara’s voice as she says, “I do!”

Our friends at Beyond Video captured the fun and frolic of Sara and Cullen’s celebration at The Westward Look Resort.

We just love it when a couple brings in their cultural heritage to a wedding celebration!

Whether it’s a Mariachi band, bagpipes or the family plaid–shown on the cute groom above–a nod to those who came before you is a welcome addition to your wedding.  You can get great Celtic fashions from Scottsdale’s own Claymore Imports.

Aside from the wearin’ of the family plaid, Celtic traditions include the bride donning a brooch that is said to bring good luck. The Lukenbooth brooch, which originated in Scotland in the sixteeth century, was a heart-shaped token of love, often given at weddings and engagements.

This traditional gift given to a man’s sweetheart was considered a lucky charm, and when worn on the bridal gown, it was said to protect the wearer against evil eyes and the attention of fairies. Even if you’re not worried about fairies, the sentiment behind the Lukenbooth brooch is charming.

While vintage pieces are hard to find, newer versions of these brooches can be found on the following websites:  lindaclifford.com;  peninhand.com;  argyllbagpipes.com;  celticstudio.com
