Scott Frost and Ashley Neidhardt had their second date hiking Camelback Mountain in Paradise Valley, Arizona, in 2013, so after Scott proposed (just before hitting the field as a college football coach in October of 2015), the pair knew saying “I do” with the mountain in the backdrop would be the perfect full-circle moment. On March 11, 2016, with 163 guests as witnesses, the couple exchanged vows at El Chorro, one of Ashley’s favorite restaurants — which pretty much guarantees a fantastic wedding meal!

Marrying just five months after Scott popped the question, the wedding was an exercise in being decisive and trusting the experts, which the bride and groom did when they asked planner Stephanie Antoinette to take the lead. With her help, the couple created a romantic, softly hued celebration in the early spring sunshine. From the floral aisle to the gorgeous installations over the tables, this lush, garden-inspired wedding was absolutely charming and oh-so-sweet, with photos by Amy & Jordan to match!

It all started with the invitations, which featured a romantic watercolor floral design. We love how perfectly the hand-painted macaron favors match the suite!

To go with her classic solitaire engagement ring and pavé wedding band, Ashley wore a dramatic pair of silver Christian Louboutin heels. Says the bride, “I actually bought them before I found my wedding dress!”

Speaking of her dress, Ashley’s Modern Trousseau wedding gown was a lesson in patience and persistence. “I went dress shopping in New York City, and felt pressured to buy a gown because we had such a short engagement,” she remembers. “When it arrived, I hated it!” She flew to L.A. and found a designer wedding dress off the rack that she loved — but it doesn’t end there. “I had it altered, and they took it in so much that it didn’t fit. I finally bought my lace Modern Trousseau gown in Scottsdale five days before my wedding, and had the final fitting the night before I walked down the aisle!” We’d say the semi-sheer bodice and lace appliqué made Ashley’s third dress a real winner!

Her classic round bouquet combined garden roses, peonies, dahlias, and ranunculus in blush and cream, all tied with a satin ribbon.

Ashley’s bridesmaids all wore Amsale gowns in a peachy blush, each choosing a different neckline for a gorgeous mix-and-match look. Their bouquets were smaller versions of the bride’s, with extra blush blooms and dusty miller for texture and contrast. The flower girl wore an ivory floral gown, with a crown of blush roses to match.

To complement the modern romance of their day, Scott kept it classic in a black tuxedo with a bowtie and a ranunculus boutonniere. “Scott wore his grandfather’s dog tags, which he always wears on special occasions,” says Ashley.

The dessert-meets-garden setting was a dramatic backdrop for the couple’s ceremony. And how chic is their wedding party?!

Scott and Ashley exchanged vows beneath an arch of hydrangeas and garden roses, flanked with wooden lanterns. Instead of a runner, the aisle was decorated with swirls of fresh flower petals in blush, peach, and white hues.

The arch appeared as though it were overgrown with blooms, but in reality it was studded with a combination of white and cream hydrangeas and blush roses, all tied in with ferns and vines. The site of Scott and Ashley’s second date, Camelback Mountain, rose beautifully in the background.

The ring bearer and flower girl headed down the aisle together, and Ashley and Scott’s rings were tied to Scott’s late grandmother’s bible. The bride’s younger brother had the honor of escorting her down the aisle. The pair kept their ceremony traditional, inviting a close friend to do a reading from the Bible as part of the proceedings.

Guests tossed flower petals as the newlyweds walked back up the aisle. “Scott had a hard time making eye contact during the ceremony. He couldn’t stop crying,” Ashley sweetly remembers.

On the venue’s patio, guests lounged on a collection of natural-hued furniture as they sipped peach Bellinis, the couple’s signature cocktail. Instead of escort cards, their table assignments were handwritten onto an oversized mirror, decorated with clusters of hydrangeas and roses.

Inside, guests were seated at a combination of long wooden tables and round tables topped in white linens. Chandeliers sparkled over the dance floor and floral chandeliers, studded with glass orbs holding votive candles, were hung above the long, bare tables. Greenery was woven between candleholders, and the head table featured a low display of roses and hydrangeas that matched the Manzanita branch design overhead.

Wicker-back chairs upholstered in linen provided a textural contrast and gave the room a natural, romantic feel.

Each place setting featured a gold charger and a printed menu describing the family-style meal. “We started with a wedge salad and oven-roasted beets with goat cheese, then guests were served red wine-braised short ribs, pan seared salmon, and prosciutto-wrapped pork tenderloin,” says Ashley. No wonder she loves the restaurant at El Chorro so much!

For dessert, the pair chose three all-white wedding cakes, decorated with blush garden roses and dahlias. They served almond cake with vanilla buttercream and fresh strawberries, chocolate cake with salted caramel buttercream, and prickly pear cake with vanilla buttercream and prickly pear curd.

“Our wedding day went so fast. Make sure you make a point to enjoy every detail. And hire a good photographer! Having those memories preserved beautifully is so worth it,” says Ashley.

If you’re planning to get married in the first half of 2017, now is the time to start budgeting properly. Why now? Because it’s the engaged couple’s last chance to get their financial ducks in a row, ahead of the holiday season.

Between holiday travel expenses and gifts for family, friends, and colleagues, many couples find themselves financially tapped out in January and February. That’s not going to work for you this year if all of your final wedding expenses are going to be due in the first half of the New Year.

While you cannot use your upcoming wedding as an excuse to skip the holiday gift-giving entirely, you can make smarter decisions ahead of time, so that you don’t find yourself paying ridiculous shipping, and higher prices, at the last minute to give gifts that you really cannot afford.

Consider the following five tips to help you avoid blowing your whole wad, and causing wedding budget problems down the road.

1. Make a list of everybody you MUST shop for and evaluate it with your spouse.
If you’ve previously given individual gifts to couple friends, consider giving just one gift to them together. Let them know that’s your plan so they can feel free to reciprocate in kind.

2. Set hard budgets for gifts for friends, and stick to those numbers.
If you tend to overspend on the ones you love, get the gifts early. Wrap them and cross those people off of your list. Not another thought towards picking up little extra goodies or you’ll undermine your budget plan.

3. Plan an interactive gift night with close friends, instead of exchanging gifts in the traditional manner.
Make reservations for a special restaurant with another couple, planning to split the tab, as your gift to each other. You’d probably have gone out to dinner together anyway — goose it up a bit and make it an extra special night with appetizers at a trendy martini bar before, and a visit to a champagne or hookah bar after.

4. Homemade gifts are wonderful, as long as you don’t end up spending more to make them than it would have cost you to buy something similar.
Fall is a great time to make jams and jellies to wrap as pretty gifts, if you’re feeling adventurous. All of your DIY gift ideas are sure to be thoughtful, but you have to plan ahead. Otherwise, you’ll run out of time, and end up spending money at the last minute to buy gifts when you already have the ingredients and parts and pieces from the craft store at home.

5. Your own families know that you’re paying for an upcoming wedding, so nobody will be surprised if you’ve spent less this Christmas than last.
If you usually get individual gifts for your siblings, their spouses, and each of their children, consider getting a larger “family” gift instead. As long as it’s something that everyone will enjoy, the gift will be greatly appreciated.

Even though President-Elect Donald Trump is on to his third wife, we had to stop and take a moment to pour one out for his second marriage’s wedding registry that has now come to light. The billionaire’s nuptials to second wife Marla Maples included a pretty ridiculous wedding registry and the more important (and serious) question is: What do you gift a billionaire at his second wedding? Here is how some celebs handled their gifts for his big day number two.

At his wedding to the aspiring actress in 1993, which took place at the Plaza Hotel, Trump’s registry included thousands of dollars in Tiffany and Co. items, according to TMZ. Among the celebrities who bought him some totally necessary (…eye roll) registry items included Howard Stern ($530 crystal sail sculpture), Kathie and Frank Lee Gifford ($300 serving platter), Don King ($1,250 bowl), and Mariah Carey and Tommy Mottola ($610 decanter). The irony of the entire situation (besides Trump’s billionaire status) was that his then-wife created the registry after the wedding, so we can only image how much cash they received on the big day. In total, Trump and Maples made off with $23,000 in Tiffany & Co. items. What ever happened to a good ol’ fashioned charity donation? Just saying.

With a wedding celebration that pretty much matched his registry, the Trumps served over $60,000 in caviar, sushi, lamb, and turkey, the Daily Mail reports. Their cake was six-feet tall and made solely of vanilla ice cream cake. And of course, we can’t forget OJ Simpson’s awkward wedding toast.

The now 70-year-old Republican’s relationship with Maples, a Georgia native, was known as the most scandalous of his three marriages, as he was still married to first wife Ivana Trump when he began his tryst with Maples. The actress and news correspondent’s and Donald’s affair did indeed end his first marriage, and shortly thereafter included a baby on the way. Two months prior to their big day, the Dancing With the Stars actress gave birth to Donald’s second daughter, coincidentally named Tiffany.

Currently, the real estate mogul now better-known as a divisive politician is married to Melania (Knauss) Trump, who was born in Slovenia. She met her now-husband of 10 years at a party — while he was on a date with a Norwegian Heiress, no less, Inside Edition reports. “He came to the party with a date!” she shared with People. “I had heard he was a ladies’ man, and so I said, ‘I’m not one of the ladies.’ Later, she noted, he sent his date to the ladies’ room so that he could get Melania’s number. That phone call proved to be the ticket to holy matrimony, and the two tied the knot in 2005. Now, the rest is history — literally.

Your wedding photographer adores you, and couldn’t be happier to photograph your wedding day — there’s no two ways about it. But that doesn’t mean the guy or gal behind the camera lens isn’t hiding a grimace when a guest steps in to steal the shot, or a family member goes MIA right before your well-timed portrait session.

So if you’ve ever wondered what annoys them the most, five wedding photographers are here to reveal their biggest wedding-day pet peeves — so you can avoid them, of course.

“By far, my biggest pet peeve is when everyone at the ceremony has their phone, iPads, and cameras, out. In this day and age, we’re hard pressed to find anyone actually absorbing the moment in front of them. As a photographer, it breaks my heart to see every person in the audience viewing the wedding through their screen, and when the bride walks down the aisle, the groom sees a bunch of phone screens blaring in his direction instead of being able to focus on his bride.” — Laura Neff, owner of Laura Lee Photography

“I would have to say it is gathering people together for the family photos. After the wedding is over, it is so tempting for family members to head out to the cocktail hour, so I totally understand. However, to keep things running smoothly, we truly need them to stay seated and wait as the other guests head out so we can being the group family photos.” — Michelle Horn, owner of Horn Photography & Design

“My wedding-day pet peeve is couples who cling to each other so tightly on the dance floor for their first dance that I can’t see both their faces. In this day and age, no one wants to go back to the old-fashioned, obtrusive photographer who would tap a bride and groom on the shoulder during the first dance and ask them both to look in the camera for a shot. But as a wedding photographer, you realize there’s a reason this old-fashioned method was so tried and true — for couples who rock back and forth without any space between them, all you can get are shots where either the bride or the groom’s head is barely showing in the shot.” — Faith West, owner of Faith West Photography

“Guests who get in the way of the photographer because they want to have their own photos on their own phones or cameras, sometimes ruining very special moments that cannot be re-done. Most of what makes up a wedding day are one-time things: The first time a couple sees each other on their wedding day, their vows, the kiss, the first dance. There are no do-overs. The guests who step in front of a photographer to get their own shots are caught on camera and now face the wrath from the couple.” — Meredith Moran, owner of Meredith Moran Photography

“My biggest wedding day pet peeve is when the bride and groom don’t do a first look, or don’t allow enough time for portraits. If you don’t want to do a first look, make sure your ceremony time is early enough that you have at least a good hour of sunlight left, so your photographer has time to get all the portraits done. Remember, you’ve got family formals, bridal party, and bride and groom. I’ve had so many bride and grooms refuse to do a first look, and then be rushed for portrait time — or be so hungry/tired that they don’t want to do photos after the ceremony.” — Chelsea Royse, owner of Chelsea Kaye Photography

Ever since Pippa Middleton became engaged to financier James Matthews back in July, we’ve been dreaming up her wedding gown in our heads. After all, her sister Kate Middleton’s wedding-day gown will probably go down as the most iconic white dress of our generation, so it’s only natural for us to wonder if Pippa’s will be just as fabulous. We’ve been thinking the 33-year-old bride might choose the likes of Alexander McQueen to design her wedding dress — just as Kate did &mash; but a recent event has made us think otherwise.

According to the International Business Times, “the sighting of designer Giles Deacon with large garment bag in hand at her London home is currently sparking up interest on what the royal-in-law might be walking down the aisle in.” The garment bag fiasco may not be all that peculiar, considering that the socialite probably receives designer clothes all the time, but the fact that Pippa’s MOM was present during the exchange is making us believe this royal visit had a liiittle something to do with her wedding day — and possibly, her wedding dress!

Deacon, who is well-known for making statement gowns for celebrities like Gwen Stefani, Scarlett Johansson and even Princess Beatrice, has dabbled in the wedding gown business before. He designed Abbey Clancy’s stunning wedding dress in 2011 when she tied the knot with Peter Crouch, and we’re actually obsessed with how pretty it is. “As to how the actual dress will look, however, it is likely that Deacon is looking into classic art and the fashion it portrayed,” IBTimes wrote. “His Instagram feed has been full of beautiful paintings from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which he has been captioning as ‘research.'”

You spent a lot of time creating the perfect, catchy hashtag to describe your happy union. And you’ll be very disappointed if no one uses it.

“Couples opt for a wedding hashtag so they can easily see all of their guests’ photos in one place, and they often spend a lot of time and creativity coming up with the perfect one,” explains Jaclyn Fisher, owner of Two Little Birds Planning in Philadelphia. “So it’s only natural for a couple to be upset if their guests don’t actually use their hashtag.”

You could (and of course should) post signs that include your hashtag and how you’d like your guests to use it. But signs might not be enough. So, here are five other ways to get your guests to actually use your hashtag.

1. Spread the word on your own social media.
Fisher suggests incorporating your hashtag into any social media posts about your wedding. After all, if you don’t use it, why would your guests? “Tweet about booking your venue, share photos from your bridal shower on Instagram, and SnapChat from your bachelorette party,” she says. “Guests will quickly catch on and start using the hashtag too.”

2. Get your wedding party to spread the word.
When you bridesmaids post sneak-peeks of them trying on their gowns, ask them to add your hashtag to their caption, says Amy Nichols, owner of Amy Nichols Special Events and co-founder of The Poppy Group. “Your guests are likely connected to your wedding party as well, and this will help to begin laying the groundwork for getting the hashtag out to guests,” she says.

3. Make it easy to remember.
Few people will want to use a long, complicated hashtag. On the flip side, “choosing a hashtag that’s easy to remember will increase the chances of your guests actually using it,” says Fisher. “Rhymes, alliterations, and puns are all ingredients for an awesome and memorable hashtag.” We even have tips for choosing the perfect hashtag here.

4. Send it out before the big day.
Don’t spring your hashtag on guests at the wedding. Instead, “start using your hashtag before the big day by featuring it on your save the date, website, invitation, and welcome bag,” says Fisher. “Guests are more likely to remember and use your hashtag after the repeated exposure.”

5. Include it throughout the wedding.
Nichols and Fisher agree that you should go beyond signs to show off your hashtag. “The more creative, the more likely your guests will take notice,” Nichols says, while Fisher suggests printing your hashtag on everything from your menu to your table numbers to make a maximum impact.
