From Dave Richards Photography...Melissa and John knew that they wanted to theme their wedding around what they love most, traveling the world. They both love the desert and have a love for retro hotels so they thought that The Ace Hotel in Palm Springs would be the perfect backdrop for their travel inspired wedding. “The Ace Hotel is such a fun place with a relaxed retro vibe, so that is why we had our wedding there. It was a perfect fit!”
The welcome table was decorated with travel inspired knick-knacks including an old globe, compass, and a vintage luggage bag for the gift cards. “We fell in love with the beautiful mountains in Palm Springs and how they light up in the late afternoon. It was the perfect backdrop for our ceremony.”
After an intimate ceremony, guests headed into the commune at the Ace Hotel and picked up their hand made luggage tags, which also served as escort cards. Each table was themed around all of the places Melissa and John had visited as a couple and were decorated with photos of their travels and simple flowers arranged in vintage jars.
