Tara and Micah ~ Train to Marrakesh

Tara and Micah were married at L'Auberge de Sedona resort in Sedona on May 18th, 2008.

Family and friends came from literally all over the world to attend this beautiful wedding. Both Tara and Micah are anthropologists, and so guests and colleagues of theirs from the Peace Corps and University of Arizona were in attendance.

Because Tara has spent so much time in Morocco, the cocktail hour and reception followed an amazing Moroccan theme. Just stepping into the reception area was like entering a new world, with amazing and vibrant colors!

The fabulous Liz Margin worked her magic on the makeup. Andrea Blaut made the **amazing** Moroccan style cake. Jim, Ken, and their team at Events by Showstoppers made the chuppah for the ceremony, and orchestrated the fabulous Moroccan themed floral and decor for the cocktail hour and reception.

Congratulations to the newly weds, Tara and Micah! We're so very very happy for you! Thanks for transporting us to your Marrakesh! It was an honor to be a part of your wedding day!

The bottom of Tara's bouquet is actually a beautiful bracelet from Morocco. Jim and Ken at Showstoppers are always great at adding beautiful and personal details to the floral work for their clients.

Tara and Micah did a fabulous job making their wedding actually theirs... it's always so personal and lovely when talented family or friends sing at weddings or at receptions.

This is really a showstopper of a cake! Guests were taking pictures of it all night! And the tent and decor with the cake were all so nicely tied together. The details of the cake were made with wooden blocks that are used for patterning textiles and cloth, carefully pressed into the cake, and then hand painted by Andrea at Sedona Cake Couture.

I love that Tara and Micah made these table markers with names of cities in Morocco. Another fabulous personal touch from these worldwide travelers.
