A Spanish-inspired wedding filled with warm tones, lush florals, and timeless architecture, sounds like a dream right? If you agree then Yahaira & Colin’s celebration at Blackstone Country Club is your new favorite inspiration board. In the hills of Arizona, this venue has all the elegance and charm of a European estate without ever leaving the U.S.(So cool right?!)

From terracotta tile and romantic archways to soft, golden-hour light pouring over the courtyard, Blackstone feels like it was made for couples craving that Mediterranean magic. It’s one of my favorite venues in Arizona for this very reason! It transports you the second you arrive.

A Celebration That Felt Like Spain

Yahaira and Colin brought all the destination wedding energy to the Arizona desert, and I was truly obsessed from the moment I arrived. Their vendor dream team completely transformed Blackstone into a lush, romantic haven. It honestly felt like we had all been transported to a countryside estate in Spain. The earthy color palette, terracotta tones, and elegant nods to Spanish design made everything feel so intentional and timeless.

The ceremony took place in the venue’s beautiful courtyard, and let me tell you it was magic! The warm clay walls, natural textures, and dreamy views made the perfect backdrop for such a heartfelt moment. And their vintage getaway car?! I was internally screaming because it was the cutest cherry on top. This whole day just felt effortless in the best way, and watching Yahaira and Colin soak it all in together was something I’ll never forget. These are the weddings that remind me why I love what I do so much.

Spanish Inspired Wedding Venue: Blackstone Country Club

Let’s take a second to talk about Blackstone Country Club? Because wow. This venue is truly one of my favorites in Arizona, and it’s not hard to see why. From the moment you step onto the property, you’re transported somewhere that feels straight out of southern Spain. Think terracotta walls, arched walkways, wrought iron details, and those warm desert tones that just glow in the Arizona sun.

It’s the kind of place that doesn’t need a ton of extra decor because the architecture and landscaping do so much of the work for you. Whether you're hosting an intimate gathering or a full wedding weekend, Blackstone gives you the flexibility and elegance to make it completely your own.

Plus, the natural light here? An actual dream. It hits just right during golden hour and makes your photos look like they belong in a magazine (and yes, I’ll be there to capture every bit of it!).

If you’re looking for a wedding venue that blends romantic, European-inspired design with the ease of being right here in the U.S., this place checks all the boxes. Elegant, timeless, and full of character! Blackstone is that hidden gem that delivers the luxury destination wedding feel without needing a passport.

Bring the Spanish Inspiration to Your Own Wedding

Dreaming of those rich, romantic, old-world vibes for your wedding day? You don’t have to jet off to Europe to bring that Spanish-inspired magic to life (although I’m always down for the flight if you do!). Venues like Blackstone Country Club in Arizona already give that Mediterranean charm with warm tones, arched architecture, and timeless elegance—it’s all about how you style it.

Here are a few ways to bring those Spanish wedding day feels to wherever you are:

Use earth-toned florals with dried textures or pops of bougainvillea for that natural, sun-drenched look.
Incorporate terracotta elements—think chargers, bud vases, or ceramic tiles as escort cards
Add Spanish tile patterns into your stationery suite or signage to instantly elevate your aesthetic
Set the mood with live strings or a Spanish guitar—music makes all the difference in ambiance.

Sprinkle in personal details, houseplants you can keep after the wedding, or vintage glassware and tableware for a layered, curated reception look

You can totally craft a wedding that feels like Spain: sunny, romantic, and rich with intention, without leaving the States. And I’d be honored to capture every gorgeous moment of it.
