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!

Edmonton Wedding Planner: Ruhee + Ashish
Last week we shared the inspiration behind Ruhee + Ashish’s luxurious pink and gold wedding. With elegant, romantic undertones and bold, glamorous details, it’s no surprise that this soirée caught the attention of WedLuxe – Canada’s luxury wedding magazine.
The day before the wedding, Ruhee’s family greeted a large contingent of Ashish’s family and friends flying in from Chicago. Following a festive welcome they enjoyed a delicious meal at Sorrentino’s Downtown. The next morning was an early start as guests were shuttled to Eagle Rock Golf Course for the ceremony, followed by a celebratory lunch.
The reception was held later that evening in The Fairmont Hotel Macdonald’s Empire Ballroom. Most couples like to play it safe and stick with the ballroom’s natural elegance in neutral tones, but we were thrilled that Ruhee + Ashish wanted to break the norm and allowed us to design the space to look like it never has before! The lighting started out with an elegant golden glow which transitioned to a vibrant pink during the dance to add energy to the room – a perfect way to accelerate the party!

Edmonton Wedding Planner: Tina + John
Tina + John’s gorgeous Art Gallery of Alberta wedding was recently featured on WedLuxe.com – home of Canada’s luxury wedding magazine.
The day began with an intimate candlelight ceremony in the AGA’s Ledcor Theatre, followed by a cocktail reception on the 3rd floor terrace. The couple’s signature drink, aptly named “Evening Love Affair,” was served with personalized cocktail napkins. Delicious sweets accompanied their four-tier wedding cake, all black & white in theme with pink ombré rose petals overflowing on the table.
The menu by Zinc Catering was exquisite! Guests were given a choice of four entrées which were served with the couple’s favourite dish – truffle macaroni & cheese – as a side. Dessert included anise poached pears with caramel ginger sauce and frangelico crème brûlée.
Tina + John kept their guests entertained all night – from amazing music for the dancing crowd to take-home caricature drawings to a drool-worthy late night snack from Drift Food Truck – there was something for everyone! These two have so much fun together and this shines through in Kelly Redinger’s beautiful photography shown below.
{Special thanks to Krista, Lana and Arlene for assisting on this wedding!}
Tina + John: Best wishes for an amazing future together – and congrats on your recent addition to the family!
