\"Black-and-White-Wedding-at-Riviera-Palm-Springs<\/p>\n

Having their mind set on a winter wedding outdoors, Ellen and Conor decided to have their Old Hollywood styled destination wedding in Palm Springs, California, where it’s always sunny. The Riviera Palm Springs<\/a> allowed them to have a gorgeous simply white outdoor ceremony and to take the reception indoors away from the cold January night breeze. Whimsical gold chargers, black table cloths, and gold vases that sparkled from the candle light dressed the tables. The decor truly resembled glamour and elegance. Capturing perfect memories of the day, the talented EPLove<\/a> stole the couple away from the crowd to photograph breathtaking moments in the surrounding natural setting.<\/p>\n

Riviera Palm Springs<\/a>, Palm Springs, California<\/p>\n

The Inspiration:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Colors of burgundy, peach and cream with pops of gold… a neutral pallet! A night of Candlelight and Romance! Flowers and succulents as art… Creative and stylized with desert inspiration! We wanted to keep things elegant and simple but still tie in the fun vintage feel that Palm Springs gave us.. I absolutely loved our ghost chairs for the ceremony and reception and feel like they really transformed the spaces into something so modern and elegant.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Moments:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The most memorable moment would have to be our first look. My bridesmaids and I drove out with our photographers before our ceremony about a mile north of the hotel to the desert at the side of the highway where Conor and his groomsmen were already waiting. Conor had his back to us when we were pulling up and our amazing photographers Roger and Nate captured me walking up to him and when he turned around and we saw each other for the first time was such an incredible moment. We then did such a fun shoot with our bridal party in the desert with a more editorial feel and I’m so glad we chose to do photos before the ceremony because once we said our I do’s we were really able to enjoy our time as newlyweds with our guests during the cocktail hour.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Couple Recommends:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

My advice to future destination wedding brides and grooms would be to book your vendors as soon as possible and definitely organize having a day of coordinator so you and your significant other and family can relax. Although it is a destination wedding try to make the day your own by putting in those extra touches your guests will appreciate that will incorporate you and your groom’s personal style and personalities.<\/em><\/p>\n
