Laid Back Palm Springs Wedding

March 15, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Laid-Back-Palm-Springs-Wedding (21 of 33)

After making a spontaneous life decision, agreeing to move 1500 miles away to San Diego with Shane, Haley knew she had found the one. Soon, a proposal came, and the couple started planning their fun party wedding, which was fully equipped with cotton candy, BBQ, a tower of doughnuts, balloons, gold glitter, and dogs. The Frederick Loewe Estate was the perfect place to have their perfect, spring colored outdoor wedding. Let’s Frolic Together expertly captured the sweet new moments the couple spent as husband and wife.

The Couple:

Haley and Shane

The Wedding:

Frederick Loewe Estate, Palm Springs, California

The Inspiration:

The biggest inspiration for our wedding was our appreciation of a good party! We really wanted to plan a celebration that reflected our personalities and was full of things we love…family, friends, cotton candy, dogs, BBQ and a little gold glitter. It sounds crazy, but it totally worked. It was intimate, relaxed and so much fun, but still had a good dose of that Palm Springs’ glamor. The Frederick Loewe Estate is so stunning that it was easy to plan a dreamy desert party for our guests to enjoy. With a ton of help from my mom and my girlfriends, we made almost all of the décor ourselves. A good mix of soft desert colors, gold accents and a few flamingoes complimented the mid-century architecture of the estate perfectly! We also wanted our clothes to reflect the feel we were going for. Simple, modern and comfortable with a little sparkle. We both felt great and were able to eat, drink and dance the night away. It was just what we wanted.

The Moments:

Our favorite moment happened at the beginning of our ceremony. After everyone had taken their seats, our officiant told us to take a moment and look around before he began. To look at all of the people that had come together to celebrate and support our love for each other. He told us to stop and really take it all in. Our guests were all smiles and cheers as we looked out. It was truly amazing. I will never forget the overwhelming feeling of joy I had while looking around to see everyone I love in the same place, while holding the hands of the man I was about to marry. It was magic.

The Couple Recommends:

Liz with W.E.D. was our day of coordinator and she was amazing! We couldn’t have pulled it off without her. She was extremely organized and easy to work with. She was so on top of everything in the weeks leading up to our wedding and really kept me sane! She took the ideas and plans we had made and created the perfect day for us. Jasmine with Let’s Frolic Together is truly an amazing photographer. Her photos are just stunning and she made us feel so comfortable. She captured our day in such a beautiful way. I cannot recommend her enough! Marisa Ramirez is a hair and makeup genius! She is so talented, and really took the time to understand what I wanted. She was so calm and great to have around while I was getting ready. I had such an amazing experience with her.

Dreamy Bridal Inspiration in the Snow by A Fist Full of Bolts

March 14, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

A Fist Full of Bolts

Winter weddings always look so magical with their perfect snowy white backgrounds and deep romantic colors. Wishing to encapsulate the breathtaking aspects of winter, an incredible team collaborated to produce this stunning styled shoot at the Cashmere Museum in Cashmere, Washington. The concept designer, Oak & Cypress Weddings, used a gorgeous mix of elegant glamour and natural, rustic aspects to create this awe-inspiring wedding inspiration. A Fist Full of Bolts expertly captured the beautiful design, producing truly astonishing photos.

Here’s a little insight about the shoot from planner and designer Amanda Rose at Oak & Cypress Weddings:

I love the stark Washington winters. They hold a special and innate beauty that is both enduring and exquisite. In conceptualizing “Loretta, I Love You,” I hoped to marry these aspects through couture glamour and rustic simplicity. I was determined to find the right locations for the shoot and when a friend offered her parent’s Wenatchee hillside acreage and I unearthed the Cashmere Pioneer Museum through an exhaustive internet search, our concept became reality.

We began to envision a story of a young bride that is tied to her heritage and her home. In every element of the design we honored local craftsmanship – the organic linen, the handmade, ceramic plate ware, artisan wooden boxes and handmade paper. We wanted the decor and florals to be a humble and a harmonious extension of the environment itself.

It was important to me that I worked with a team that were each artists in their own right and I could trust their artistic license to enhance our shared vision. With every wedding and styled shoot, I only hope to set a course, provide vision and support them in their craft.

The walk down the aisle. We did a first look before the ceremony, but it didn’t take away from how emotional it was to see each other at the alter in front of all our loved ones.
