Wendy Lippman • Jun 03, 2017

Tlaquepaque is a popular venue to host a memorable Sedona wedding and many times, couples are looking for special gifts as a remembrance of their Tlaquepaque wedding. Sometimes brides are looking for that special gift for their bridesmaids and maid of honor. What better place to purchase your thoughtful gift than Tlaquepaque Arts and Crafts Village. You will find a variety of quality items that show a personal touch to your thoughtfulness.

Here are some great gift ideas for your Tlaquepaque Wedding.

The Gold Door Gallery offers a beautiful representation of the unique Tlaquepaque Cross located in front of the Tlaquepaque Chapel. A favorite location for many of our wedding couples, a Tlaquepaque Cross is the perfect gift for your bridesmaids or maid of honor. These crosses come in a variety of sizes are offered in either silver or gold.

The Gold Door Gallery also offers a variety of unique charms to remember your Sedona Wedding. These gold charms represent the best of Sedona and of Arizona.

If you are looking for the perfect gift for the bride and groom, consider the wedding couple ornament collection offered by Feliz Navidad. You will never find a more unique wedding gift. The lovely ornaments represent the bride and groom, wedding bells and rings ornament. This is truly a great gift!

Another great gift for your family and friends helping with your Tlaquepaque Wedding would be a hand painted Christmas ornament with the Tlaquepaque Chapel or Tlaquepaque Bell Tower. Each area hosts wedding ceremonies and can be personalized with the name of the bride and groom and their wedding date. This is also a great wedding gift for the bride and groom – truly a great and thoughtful gift.

We are really excited about the special ornament offered from Feliz Navidad that celebrates a couple’s First Christmas. These cute ornaments can be personalized and will be a great gift for Christmas to commemorate your First Christmas!

Isadora Handweaving Gallery offers lovely charms of the Tlaquepaque Chapel and Bell Tower as well as a variety of Sedona charms. I had a bride that bought her bridesmaids the beautiful charm of the Tlaquepaque Chapel. This is truly a unique gift and one that they will really cherish.

Isadora Handweaving Gallery has a variety of handmade crosses and pendants that would make the perfect gift. Many couples that get married in the Tlaquepaque Chapel love the shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe located in the Chapel courtyard. Our Lady of Guadalupe is a 16th century icon of the Virgin Mary and is possibly Mexico’s most popular religious and cultural image. Since Tlaquepaque is modeled after the Tlaquepaque Village located outside of Guadalajara, Mexico, the Shrine complements the Chapel courtyard.

The Lady of Guadalupe has also symbolized the Mexican nation since the Mexican War of Independence. We say here that the Lady of Guadalupe blesses all Tlaquepaque Weddings. Now you can purchase a lovely charm from Isadora Handweaving gallery of the Lady of Guadalupe. This is a new item in the Gallery and unique to Tlaquepaque.

If prints and photographs are more in line with your gift ideas, Estebans carries a variety of matted prints of the Tlaquepaque Chapel and courtyard. These photographs by Bo Svensson can easily be framed for the perfect gift for the bride and groom. They will remember their chapel wedding until the end of time.

Tlaquepaque Arts and Crafts Village has over 45 shops, galleries and restaurants and is a must see when visiting Sedona. You will find the perfect wedding gift here without a doubt.

The Micro-Wedding Plan a bite-sized version of a traditional wedding and celebrate with 50 or fewer of your closest friends and family. Usually, a shorter timeline (3 hours instead of 5), these intimate events still include a ceremony and celebration with flowers, cake, music, and more, and can be designed to your liking. Bonuses: More time to spend with each of your guests A more affordable solution or an opportunity to allocate money to the things you care about the most (you no longer have 150 people coming, so you can spend more money on your dress!) Less to plan and manage which can mean less stress For the eco-conscious, a smaller carbon footprint
