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!

Jasper Park Lodge Wedding Planner: Claudia + Liz
Claudia and Liz’s destination wedding at Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge radiated beauty – both of the scenery and their love for one another. Over 100 of their nearest and dearest travelled from across Canada to celebrate them in late September, an absolutely stunning time of year in the Rocky Mountains.
Their outdoor ceremony was set in front of the glistening turquoise waters of Lac Beauvert on Whistlers Plateau, and they dined and danced in the Golf Clubhouse with both a band and DJ keeping guests on their feet all night long!
