Palm Springs Destination Wedding Part 2: Haley + Marco
The wedding venue for Haley and Marco’s Palm Springs destination wedding, Toscana Country Club, is unique from most desert venues in that it has lush landscaping, gorgeous stone architecture, and truly feels like you are in Italy. As Palm Springs Wedding Planners and Designers, we decided to embrace the Tuscan vibe of the venue while incorporating a little bit of Palm Springs character.
The result? Tuscan Garden meets Palm Springs Glam! Romantic, floral and contemporary with a splash of edginess. Our colour story was based around olive green, cream and dusty rose, with accents of black and ochre yellow.
Haley had recently graduated culinary school, so food and drinks were very important! Immediately following the ceremony, tray-passed appetizers were served on the Garden Terrace, as guests enjoyed the scenery and live music.
For dinner, guests indulged in their choice of New York strip, Chilean sea bass or Napa Valley rack of lamb for their main course. His and hers signature cocktails were aptly named “Chef’s Kiss” and “McDavid in the Desert,” as the Edmonton Oilers were in the playoffs at the time of the wedding (the couple rarely misses a game).
The reception was held in an outdoor space called “The Olive Grove,” which was filled with gorgeous olive trees. We designed a unique layout to optimize the al-fresco experience. Guests dined at a mix of long wooden rectangle tables and rounds covered in luxe linens. We used black as an accent through the chairs and flatware to bring in a modern vibe to a traditional setting. Two lounge seating areas with contemporary pieces included accents of ochre yellow and dusty rose; colored marble and fluted tables added texture and interest to the vignettes.
The after party was held indoors at Toscana Country Club, and we transformed the space so it felt like a nightclub – transitioning guests to the final portion of the celebration. It was an incredible weekend, and we can’t wait to head back to Palm Springs for more destination weddings in the future!

Palm Springs Destination Wedding Part 1: Haley + Marco
Palm Springs has always been a bucket list destination for us, so when we got the call from Haley and Marco, it was a match made in wedding planning heaven!
Over 150 guests joined the couple in the Palm Springs area for a weekend of celebration. It was important that we designed events reflective of Haley and Marco’s fun-loving personalities. They are social butterflies and love to host their friends – FUN was a priority!
Haley and Marco hosted a “welcome fiesta” on Cinco de Mayo the day prior to the wedding (since it fell on May 5th). The event was held at a private residence in Indian Wells, and was brightly decorated with vibrant colours, florals and pool lanterns. Guests indulged in signature margaritas, tacos and churros, and were serenaded by a Mariachi band. It was the perfect way to kick off the weekend festivities.

Epic Multi-Day Fusion Wedding Part 2: Alejandra + Jason
Alejandra and Jason’s wedding day was held at the iconic Fairmont Hotel Macdonald. Overlooking Edmonton’s beautiful river valley, we designed the outdoor terrace ceremony with light & airy summer vibes, using ghost chairs and an acrlic altar covered in all-white blooms. Alejandra walked down the aisle with her mother to a classical cover of Elvis Presley’s Can’t Help Falling In Love, performed by a string quartet.
Guests returned that evening to a supper club inspired reception featuring a sumptuous 5-course meal before they danced the night away. We designed this event to reflect the couple’s personal styles – sexy and fashion-forward! Some of the design elements included: luxe velvet linens in black and forest green; three styles of ghost chairs; colourful & modern blooms; lush greenery and plant-filled tablescapes; a black & white checkered dance floor.

Sparrow Lane Wedding Planner: Brittany + Justin
We couldn’t have hoped for a more perfect fall day to celebrate Brittany and Justin’s wedding at Sparrow Lane. Their ceremony, held in the late afternoon, was on the outdoor patio surrounded by golden fall trees. A string quartet played as Brittany walked down the aisle with her parents, and she and Justin exchanged vows in front of a stunning modern ceremony arbour with white phalaenopsis orchids and white roses.
It was a relaxing day with all events being held at the gorgeous Edmonton area venue, making for a seamless, enjoyable experience for the couple and their guests. The wedding design featured a timeless black and white palette with modern minimalist styling.
