Cactus & Tropicals, Draper Utah | Ashley & Derec Wedding

Derec and Ashley’s wedding was a blast!

They got married at Cactus and Tropicals in Draper, Utah which is a beautiful venue that makes it feel like summer inside.

Their ceremony was beautiful. When Derec saw Ashley for the first time was so special. He teared up when he saw her. Ashley couldn’t stop smiling when she saw him!

The toasts were fun to listen to. Ashley’s mom wrote a cute poem about Ashley and Derec. It was fun to hear more about them and the great people they are.

The first dance was short and sweet and very cute. I loved when Derec danced with his mom and they watched a little slideshow of when Derec was young while they danced. It was very sweet!

Ashley’s wedding dress was so gorgeous! I loved the lace detail on her dress. She looked so beautiful! I also loved Derec’s suit. He had it custom made and embroidered Ashley’s initials, his late brother’s initials and their names on it. It was so cool. I also loved that it was green.

I love their decorations. On one table, they had pictures of those who lived in memory. It was very special. I also loved their sign in wood plaque. I have never seen that before!

Their cupcake cake was so cute and the cupcakes were so yummy!

After we took pictures, had toasts and ate dinner, it was time to DANCE! The best thing about their dance party was that Derec and Ashley both love to dance and they were on the dance floor the whole time. I loved it! Their friends were also a blast and danced the whole time. It was so much fun to watch them and take their pictures. They had a money dance at the beginning and raised a good chunk of money for their honeymoon. The whole night was so fun!

Congratulations Ashley and Derec!
