This tropical modern Parker Palm Springs Wedding weekend is one of our favorites around here. And we’re so thrilled that it was recently featured on Martha Stewart Weddings! It’s so fab that we split it up into two parts for you. First up: the wedding day…
Kate and Bryce envisioned a getaway destination for their friends and family traveling from all over the world to experience the weekend with them. They instantly fell in love with the Parker and its laid-back hip resort vibe.
Kate had her heart set on bringing the tropics to the desert. The concept of a lush desert oasis was born! With the Parker’s already abundantly-landscaped grounds as a backdrop, we enlisted Honey & Poppies to add in bright pops of floral details and oversized tropical greenery to our clean palette of black, white and gold. The focal point of the reception space was a 40’+ long overhead floral installation that hung above the head table.
Kate’s engagement ring, a hexagon shape which Bryce designed himself, became the inspiration behind all of the graphic details added to balance out the organic tropical elements. The hexagon subtly appeared in the paper goods and signage, at the escort card display and at the dessert table where sweets were plated on hexagon-shaped marble slabs.
Kate describes herself as a “psycho animal lover” and has a particular affinity to elephants. We subtly peppered in some of Kate’s elephant figurines from home. To honor their favorite animal, the couple made a charitable donation to their favorite African elephant sanctuary on behalf of their guests.
After dinner, guests were treated to an after-hours lounge, whiskey tasting station and an epic dance party. It was a crazy fun evening for all! But the party didn’t end on the wedding night. Check out their post-wedding poolside party the next day!
