Though we aren't punished with the blistery winters our midwestern sister magazines (Minnesota Bride and Wisconsin Bride) have, it is getting a little coolerfor Arizona standards. These gorgeous red and white bouquets, arranged by Studio Fleurette and photographed by Emily Steffen, would be wonderful for a cooler-weather wedding or for any wedding needing a little burst of color.

A nail bar. That is a new concept that can catch any girly-girl looking for a reason to spend time with your girlfriends (or bridesmaids). Terés is a customized and affordable nail salon that will be located in Phoenix come later this year (the date has yet to be determined). They can create a custom blend of herbs and oils to accompany your $15 or $23 manicure and pedicure service, respectively. Founder Courtney Steele wanted to create an up-scale and unique nail experience for those on a budget. Guests can determine their own level of luxury by creating their own lotions, scrubs and oils. Maybe you are feeling stressed after a day of making wedding invitations or dealing with the unhappy bridesmaids. Terés will come up with something special for that!
