Esther and Josh's Wedding
What's On the Table?
Desert Cactus Centerpieces
Take home a piece of the desert!
Each of these handmade desert centerpieces (crafted with love by Josh) showcases the natural beauty of the many cacti and succulents that thrive in our local Tucson landscape. Each arrangement is unique, and inside you'll see aloes, agaves, prickly pears, barrels, hedgehogs, and more. Just don't get stuck!
Carly Quinn Tiles
Custom art tiles, handmade in Tucson
Carly Quinn Designs is a Tucson treasure. Her hand-painted tiles and murals adorn the walls of houses and facades across the city, and each unique piece exudes connection with the desert Southwest. Take a piece of Tucson's artsy side home with you!
Arizona Dreaming
Seasoning from our favorite Penzey's Spices
This spicy blend of chilis, lemon, garlic, and other local flavors from our favorite shop will make any meal scream Southwest. Penzey's shares our values and covers our tables, both at home and at the wedding. And when I say "our, favorite" I of course mean Josh and Murray's. Esther puts on a brave face when its time for spice shopping.

Arizona Rainbow Petrified Wood
The official state fossil of Arizona
Rainbow petrified wood is found in and around Petrified Wood National Park in northern AZ and can be 200+ million years old. We hope this treat from Tucson's famous gem show will add a little history to your home!
Desert Rose
Love blooms in the desert
Desert roses are a naturally occurring "flowers" of clustered crystals that form in the sands of the Sahara desert. We hope this special find from the Tuscon gem show helps to remind you of your own trip to our desert Southwest!
Ammonite Fossil
Ancient sea critters
These fossilized cephalopods, which can be up to 300 million years old, likely resembled a chambered nautilus and are a distant cousin of modern-day squid. Esther and I took a little longer to find the love of our lives, but these little old guys make us feel forever young!
Amethyst
The sober stone?
This gleaming purple variety of crystalline quartz got its name from the Greek améthystos, meaning "not intoxicated." Ancient Greeks believed that imbibing from amethyst vessels would prevent drunkneness. Care to test their theory out for yourself? Maybe we picked the wrong stone for tonight...
Citrine
Yummy lemon stone
This amber-yellow variety of crystalline quartz gets its name from the same root as "citron," French for lemon. Want to squeeze one in your drink? This is also the first giant rock that we owned together, and it sits in our home right now. Add one to yours too!
