Elegant Palm Springs Affair at Le Parker Meridien

There’s something about a good dose of hot pink that gets my heart beating a little faster and makes my eyes open a little wider. Especially when that vibrant hue is woven into an elegant day like this one captured so timelessly by Lane Dittoe and Artisan Production. With Modern Bouquet behind the blooming creations, Esoteric Events at the planning helm and La Tavola dressing up the tables, each and every moment in this gallery is pin-worthy perfection.

From the Bride…The wedding was a perfect combination of our style and personalities. We wanted it to be modern, laidback and most importantly a fun time for our friends and family. Jesse and I have vacationed at the Parker many times before and we love EVERYTHING about this hotel. From the décor, the lush greenery and the hammock to the fire pit and the muddled lemon by the pool, there was no doubt in our minds that we wanted to get married here.

Kristin from Esoteric Event made my wedding dream come true. She understood my style and taste from the start and made the design and planning process really fun and enjoyable. I could be indecisive at times but Kristin was always there to guide me and put my mind to ease. We decided to go with bright pink and blush to compliment the greenery at the Parker. It was the perfect design for a spring wedding in Palm Springs.

We asked our friend Jonathan Kohn to officiate the ceremony because he has seen us grow our relationship since the beginning. It was probably the best decision we made for the wedding. His speech was witty and endearing and filled the audience with laughter and tears. It definitely set the tone for the rest of the night. The dinner setting was magical. All the guests sat under the string lights in the warm desert night with the most beautiful table scape and watched the sun go down. We were surrounded by our favorite people to celebrate our marriage and we could not stop smiling. It was perfect. Everyone danced the night away to great music and I would be lying if I said I did not pass out on the couch in the bridal suite wearing my wedding dress while cuddling my puppy at 2am.

We couldn’t have done it without the amazing group of vendors we had. I would recommend every single one of them to my friends. Our guests still talk about how beautiful our wedding was and how much fun they had. It was everything we have dreamt of and more. It was perfect.
