Dream couple and dream Palm Springs wedding weekend!
When we first started working with Nikki + Ryan, the vision was a villa venue with an Italian summer theme. Then, the venue we booked got shut down due to noise complaints from their neighbors! These two barely broke a sweat as far as wedding panic levels go. We pivoted, went back to the venue hunting drawing board, and wound up in sunny Palm Springs - prepared to execute an entirely different concept.
When designing their wedding, we wanted to balance the Moroccan architecture of Sands Hotel and kitschy Palm Springs vibes with the couple’s minimalist, laid-back luxe California style. It needed to be fun - but also elegant and chill. During the whole design and planning process, the guest experience was at the forefront of the Nikki + Ryan’s minds.
This is the result.

This was absolutely one for the books. From the killer couple, show-stopping dresses and heirloom mantilla veil, modern Persian ceremony with a custom Sofreh, bridesmaid bouquets in glass purses, ceiling draping, and out of this world tablescape designs, florals and cake, the day lives rent free in my mind.
So many special moments that 20 Instagram carousel slides just aren’t enough for. The little custom and handmade touches that the Bride and Groom personalized their wedding with. The wedding party’s unique grand entrances. The Bride’s friend who introduced the couple caught the bouquet! The list goes on.

When I first saw this venue, I had a vision of a Roman garden reimagined — classical statues, soft neutral layers and textures, and florals that were just a touch overgrown — all merging seamlessly with the space’s natural beauty and architecture. A blend of modern restraint and organic romance. Minimal, with just the right touch of wild.
So much gratitude for the incredible team that helped bring this vision to life. We’re lucky to work alongside such deeply talented and passionate creatives who pour their hearts into their work, and have such a can-do spirit! Their artistry and energy made this day unforgettable.

The kind of wedding New York movies make you fall in love with.
A rainy afternoon at the Prospect Park Boathouse, where deep garnet details, candlelight, fruit-toned florals, and ducks drifting across the water added sweet little details. Lily-filled arrangements appeared to grow straight from the dock, while a honey kiss ceremony tied the day to tradition. 🪷
