Wedding Weekend in Palm Springs, California

Courtney and Luke know how to throw a party! They didn’t just host a wedding; the celebration lasted three days! The wedding weekend kicked off with a welcome party on Thursday, the wedding ceremony on Friday, and ended with a pool party on Saturday. Each event was thoughtfully planned, with each detail custom and personalized for the couple. Each day had a different vibe but shared the same luxurious feel!

The couple stayed in separate villas at Parker Palm Springs Hotel. Courtney’s morning was so special as she got ready with her adorable dog, Panda. I am always a fan of people including their dogs on their wedding day! To match the luxurious feel of the wedding weekend, Courtney had multiple wedding dresses for her wedding day, with her first wedding look being a wedding gown by Netta Benshabu, which was so stunning and fit her perfectly!

A Colorful Wedding Ceremony at Parker Palm Springs Hotel

The wedding ceremony was a gorgeous garden of color with maximalist floral arrangements lining the pink checkerboard aisle and a showstopper altar arrangement full of florals that were colors of the sunset with pink, orange, and red flowers throughout. The work that Winston and Main did to make this wedding ceremony turn into a dreamy landscape was next level!

After the wedding ceremony, Courtney and Luke snuck off to take editorial pictures in the hotel bar. Courtney then switched into a chic Kim Kassas mini dress for the reception, pairing it perfectly with her Jimmy Choo heels, allowing her and Luke to dance the night away with their friends and family! Before they headed out to their reception, they had a private cake cutting, which I was obsessed with. A cake-cutting shot is so classic, but it can be awkward to call everyone over to watch you cut and eat a piece of cake. This intimate cake cutting was so cute and playful, allowing them to have a private moment as newlyweds.

Personalized Wedding Decor for an Elevated Wedding

One of my favorite personalized aspects of the wedding was the custom bar, with the couple’s names and adorable pictures of Panda and custom Palm Springs inspired keychains for the seating chart. It’s these personalized details that really made the weekend feel exclusive! Every corner of the hotel was utilized to its fullest, with colorful decor that brought Courtney and Luke’s dream wedding to life.

The day after their wedding, they had the pool party with a fruit bar and drinks for their guests, complete with custom hats and a sunscreen bar that had Vacation Classic Whip sunscreen, which is a sunscreen that went viral and is so perfect for a Palm Springs wedding! The Parker Palm Springs Hotel was the perfect Palm Springs Wedding Venue for this wedding weekend celebration!
