This wedding was all about weekend getaway vibes and Lauren and Steve created a special event for their close friends and family in Palm Springs. They really solidified the vintage feel of the entire wedding by incorporating dried and fresh florals. It gave the event a modern twist which elevated the entire look. This wasn’t an ordinary bride, I actually grew up vacationing with her so it was really special being able to know her and incorporate her personality with the florals.
The florals perfectly fit the dreamy desert theme and were an awesome mix of dried and fresh flowers. Lauren loved Pampas grass and wasn’t afraid of color so I made sure to incorporate both within their designs. The browns, pinks and oranges blended perfectly with their surroundings are really tied in with their historic venue.
Their venue has some awesome history to it and was actually rented out for the entire weekend. The guests were able to stay on the property and have a pre-wedding pool party the night before. The venue, Casa Cody in Palm Springs, contains 29 original bungalows built in 1920 and was founded by Hollywood pioneer, Harriet Cody, cousin to the legendary, Buffalo Bill.
This wedding was full of unforgettable moments from their first look to the ice cream sandwich truck they rented for dessert. We kept the vintage theme going with the groom’s boutonniere by also incorporating dried flowers in the design. Not only do the dried flowers look amazing, they are a great way of preserving your wedding florals!
I loved being a part of this day and seeing all of the elements come together. The night closed out with Frank Sinatra’s “New York” which was where Lauren and Steve met. The perfect way to end the weekend festivities. These designs were so fun to put together and I already see the dried floral trend is starting to take off. If you have any questions about fully or partially incorporating dried elements in your wedding, feel free to reach out!
