Tucked just outside of Tucson sits the sprawling Tanque Verde Ranch— a rustic-meets-refined oasis where hospitality is paramount and no detail is overlooked. The ranch, founded in 1868, is a trending locale to tie the knot for Arizonans and tourists alike (it’s already booking weddings well into 2025!). With abundant cacti, pink structures, Southwest charm and a few cameos from the ranch’s 200-plus horse residents, this high-fashion editorial shows us what Arizona wedding dreams are made of.
