Kristine & Colby had a magical destination wedding in Indian Wells, CA.  The fun started Thursday at the Miramonte Resort and Spa when all the guests checked in.  The intimate feel of the hotel allowed the guests to gather frequently and a lot of terrific time was spent at the resort pool!

Their Saturday wedding was held at the beautiful St. Francis Church in La Quinta, CA, and their ceremony was presided over by a good friend from Notre Dame.  These fabulous photos were taken by Albert Lewis, Mulberry Photography.

Guests then departed for the Vintage Country Clubin Indian Wells, one of the valleys most exclusive and beautiful clubs.  After cocktails onthe patio, guests moved into the glass walled dining room overlooking the mountains, where the staff at the Vintage served them beautifully. Beautiful tables designed by Celebrations of Joy and Arrangements Floral & Design were covered with a gold shimmer table topper and topped with equisite florals – re-purposed from the flowers decor from the church! A great way to go green and save $$!!

They danced the night away, and then Colby and Kristine were sent on their way with a sparkler salute.  They climbed into a bright red vintage car for a departure to a surprise hotel - no one was to find them for 24 hours!

We’re using this as a favor for a desert wedding this October!

Andy & Ron celebrated their love before their closest friends and family with their adorable daughter Charlie! We loved helping them create extraordinary moments that they will remember forever!

The beach theme was carried out with star fish motifs – place card holders, centerpiece decor and even as a holder for their rings before they exchanged them!

They exchanged vows under a flowing huppah, and cut their cake under cloudy skys!

The Parker Palm Springs was a perfect backdrop for an elegant intimate wedding for Jennifer & Aaron.  Sixty guests were treated to a beautiful ceremony under the olive trees, and then followed the bride and groom to the Gene Autry House for cocktails and dinner under the stars.

Feasting tables of 20 guests each created an intimate setting in this private yard.

We helped Amanda & Sean create and amazing weekend for their closest family and friends in the Palm Springs Area.  After a welcome party at the Colony Palms Hotel, guests were bused to a beautiful private estate for the ceremony overlooking the Joshua Tree National Forest.  Guests then moved to an elegant reception at Pappy & Harriet’s, an old biker bar in Pioneer Town that was totally transformed!

 

Bikers met the entourage as guests moved to the reception site and stayed through the evening for photo ops!  Fireworks send off completed the evening! Each guest received a custom poster from Hatch Show Prints as a memento of the unique and beautiful weekend!
