An Elegant and Earthy Amangiri Tablescape
Kiera and Ahmed’s elegant Amangiri wedding is proof that a small guest count is the perfect excuse for unconventional elegance. From the beginning, Kiera and Ahmed valued the intimacy and sacredness that a small guest count would bring to their wedding weekend at Amangiri. And we know know that sometimes it’s the tiniest details, and the most intentional relationships, that make all the difference.
When we started designing this wedding at Amangiri, we knew our couple wanted to pair ethereal elegance with organic minimalism. Set in the private Raven’s Nest space overlooking Amangiri, we wanted this beautiful location to speak for itself. Hidden within the curves of desert sandstone, we designed an overhead, tunnel-like structure with draped chiffon to create an ethereal, romantic space in the cliffs. Layering texture on texture, lush florals swirled around clusters of organic rocks and dramatic taper candles. Our luxury tablescape design featured neutral sand linens to complement the colors of Amangiri, and we elevated the natural, desert vibes by incorporating hand-dyed linens and bone-colored ceramics. This reception set up for 15 guests took three team members eight hours in the direct sun with 103 degree weather - but when we saw our couple settle into the cliffside for their reception we knew instantly it was all worth it.

This high-end, organic, desert inspired tablescape was part of an intricate design at Amangiri’s luxury resort. We spent over a year working on this intricate design, with multiple trips to the resort to ensure our vision would translate as intended in the space. We used unique areas that had never been utilized for a wedding before, creating a truly one of kind event for our special couple.
The indoor/outdoor dining area at Amangiri was one of our favorite parts of the property. We designed our tablescapes in the Mesa Breezeway, where two long, candlelit tables waited for guests to arrive and take their seats. To make the grand breezeway feel romantic and intimate we had sheer, flowing material suspended from the ceiling and trailing down to create a curtain, which hid the space from guests until it was time for the grand reveal.
We wanted to keep a subtle, organic vibe for the rest of the design, so we opted for a blush and gold hues, upscale glassware, white ceramics and an effortless looking (but purposeful) napkin placement. Each setting was completed with a custom, hand lettered place card by Carta Plena. At the couple’s sweetheart table, we worked with Sarah Winward to create an asymmetrical dried floral design that framed the couple in the heart of the desert.
1 year of planning, 48 hours of executing and a lifelong friendship with two of the most amazing humans we have ever had the pleasure of working for.

Jona and Zack’s elegant beach wedding at the Rosewood Miramar Beach was straight from a dream. Effortless, elegant and edgy, this Santa Barbara wedding transformed a luxury five-star hotel into the party of a lifetime. Rosewood Miramar Beach is a luxury wedding venue resting above one of the most pristine and idyllic beaches on the California coast. Designed with style, grace and glamour, we couldn’t wait to design and execute a timeless celebration at this idyllic coastal retreat.
For the reception dinner, we designed an edgy and modern reception in the hotel’s luxury space. On every reception table, we used high-end fabrics like chiffon table runners, custom nude gauze and natural ivory linens to pull in a soft, romantic vibe. Then we layered in focal accents with black taper candles, matte black flatware and smoke-colored glassware to add drama to the design. Floral details elevated the tablescape design, as we worked with Siren Floral Co. to design large and lush living garlands that sprawled across each table, spilling gracefully down to the floor.
This luxury Santa Barbara wedding wouldn’t be complete without thoughtful touches were you might least expect them. The cake – the bride’s only non-negotiable – wasn’t your average dessert. We sourced an edgy and ethereal cake from Jasmine Rae Cakes, creating a statement art masterpiece at the dessert table. For the first dance, the DJ sounds quieted and one of the bride’s clients, Shaun Ross, stepped onto the dance floor to serenade the couple for their first dance as husband and wife. Even the smallest details were given attention, including unique black signage and handmade cocktail menus from Carta Plena.
This modern and timeless Rosewood Miramar Beach wedding was one for the books.

At a chic mid-century cabin on the Wilson River, David and Rachel joined us for a celebration to remember at the River Cabaan estate. Leaning into the organic river blues and forest greens of the Pacific Northwest, we designed the tablescape for this high- end micro wedding to feature modern and luxe vibes, with a funky and unique Oregon feel. The paper goods incorporate creams, whites, blushes and soft ochre on letterpress – a perfect complement to the amber and neutral accents throughout the tablescape design.
We worked closely with Noble Floral Co. to create a luxe reception space that truly pushed artistic boundaries and rejuvenated creativity. We sourced velvet tablecloths, amber glassware and coup glasses to create a modern, minimalist feel. The design details were luxe and timeless – including mid-century-inspired cane-back chairs to match the venue architecture, oatmeal linen seats and blush napkins to pop against the luxe velluto tablecloths and organic fruit and produce details to give homage to the agricultural coastal surroundings.

While Sonoma and Napa draw West Coast crowds, the northern Willamette Valley region wows with lush greenery and rolling hills – creating the perfect backdrop for a luxury estate wedding in wine country. For this wedding’s luxury tablescape, we loved worked with Noble Floral Co. to bring our high-end, romantic wedding vibe to life with unique elements like mosses, grasses and soft white florals.
To amplify the sexy and understated elements for this black-tie luxury wedding, we incorporated matte blacks and ivories throughout the tablescape design. And to build out a dramatic reception space, we designed a large-scale tent with overhead floral installations. Rows over hanging moss and unique, greenery details completely transformed the feel of the tent, creating a luxe, modern high-end aesthetic that left both us and our guests speechless.
Beneath the overhead installations, our design team styled a luxury and timeless reception. Custom menus and place cards rested atop each place setting, featuring black flatware, smoke-colored goblets, stoneware plates and brass details. And the center of each table featured unique, grassy details and black taper candles to create a luxe, dramatic feel invigorated through height, dimension and style.

From a guided hike of Antelope Canyon to world renowned, luxury spa services - their guests enjoyed a truly idyllic, 5 star weekend.
We spent over a year working on this intricate design, with multiple trips to the resort to ensure our vision would translate as intended in the space. We used unique areas that had never been utilized for a wedding before, creating a truly one of kind event for our special couple.
The ceremony, intended to capture the vastness of the desert, was minimalistic and organic in style.

KIERA & AHMED | MICRO WEDDING WEEKEND
Kiera and Ahmed’s elegant Amangiri wedding is proof that a small guest count is the perfect excuse for unconventional elegance. From the beginning, Kiera and Ahmed valued the intimacy and sacredness that a small guest count would bring to their wedding weekend at Amangiri. And we know know that sometimes it’s the tiniest details, and the most intentional relationships, that make all the difference.
When we started designing this wedding at Amangiri, we knew our couple wanted to pair ethereal elegance with organic minimalism. With a small, intimate guest count we wanted to amplify the vast feeling of the surrounding desert by making every detail feel as if it was growing out of Amangiri’s natural landscape. We created our ceremony design atop the desert lounge ledge with a backdrop of mirrored pillars to reflect the surrounding desert landscape. We loved working with Siren Floral Co to bring our edgy and earthy design to life with monochromatic floral clusters that cascaded effortlessly through the space.
After the ceremony, the guests enjoyed drinks at a custom cocktail bar before wandering to the reception site. Set in the private Raven’s Nest space overlooking Amangiri, we wanted this beautiful location to speak for itself. Hidden within the curves of desert sandstone, we designed an overhead, tunnel-like structure with draped chiffon to create an ethereal, romantic space in the cliffs. Layering texture on texture, lush florals swirled around clusters of organic rocks and dramatic taper candles.

The day before their wedding, Kiera and Ahmed invited an intimate group of guests to enjoy cocktails, a private dinner and live music in a dramatic and chic space.
While the wedding day was an earthy and neutral affair, this rehearsal dinner at Amangiri was inspired by Kiera’s vision of bright red and pink monobloom arrangements. Designed with drama, we styled this tablescape with elegant textural details including edgy glassware, black brushed flatware, and blush candles growing up from the lush floral clusters.
A modern and dramatic affair, this intimate dinner party at Amangiri set a tone for this luxury desert wedding under the Utah sky.

STEPHANIE & JUSTIN | INTIMATE WEDDING
Choosing to elope gives you the freedom to be intentional and plan your day around details and experience, which allows you to fully connect and be present as you begin your marriage together. When Stephanie and Justen came to us and asked if we could help them “plan a Zoom wedding” in the middle of Amangiri’s 600-acre remote landscape, we knew this day would be special. We knew that this was about more than just setting up a tripod, it was an opportunity to help them invite family into their elopement in a way that felt intentional and thoughtful – Covid be damned.
While this wedding was incredibly intimate with a nine-person guest list, don’t underestimate the work that goes into planning, designing or styling a small elopement. Just because there are less people on the guest list, does not mean there is less time spent choosing locations, colors, textures, vendors, candlesticks, napkins, furniture, plates - We take great care in designing experiences where every detail holds meaning and the couple can step back and truly experience the effortless elegance of their day.
For Stephanie and Justen, we love the unique challenge of designing a day steeped in tradition yet filled with innovation. The ceremony design incorporated traditional Jewish ceremony elements, including blessings over two cups wine, breaking of the glass, signing of ketubah, but we elevated the chuppah to incorporate a modern, luxe feel with sculptural and dramatic blooms and pampas grass.
And while this wasn’t the first luxury wedding at Amangiri that we’ve designed and styled, we loved that this elopement gave us the opportunity to explore new areas throughout the property. Amangiri is more than a luxury hotel, it’s a staggering landscape of canyons, mesas, mountains, and desert with so many unique locations. For Stephanie and Justen’s ceremony, we designed a unique floor plan at the Desert Lounge that prioritized sweeping landscape views to frame our couple. For the reception, we helped our vendors navigate from the intimate pavilions at Camp Sarika to the atmospheric Chinle Site – the ideal place for private dining and performances in the desert. At the stunning Chinle Site, we created a timeless tablescape with a sand, white, gold, and cream color palette. These neutral tones fell together perfectly amid the natural serenity of the desert, and the arid textures of lunaria, dried florals paired with the soft textures of cheesecloth runners and place setting details created a delicate, understated feel.
In addition to designing and styling this Amangiri elopement, we loved planning all of the nuanced timing and events throughout the day. While you might not think you need a planner for an intimate wedding or elopement, trust us, you’ll be so thankful to have someone seasoned in coordinating details, working behind the scenes to bring your day to life. For Stephanie and Justen, we helped them set up a Zoom experience that invited loved ones to not only watch but also participate in the elopement. We set up iPhones, tripods, and microphones to make sure guests were virtually present to experience every moment – from listening to the swells of live music as Stephanie walked down the aisle to chiming in to give a toast from the comfort of their own homes, we loved being able to create connections between our couple and their guests, both near and far. We also helped them add unique details throughout their day, including live music at multiple sites, a live painter who captured the ceremony experience in real time to preserve their elopement, and live performances from Navajo musicians to honor the site and enrich the meaning of their experience.
We’re so proud of this stunning, unique desert wedding and the incredible team that helped make this beauty come to life, especially in a time when having your wedding as planned can be so difficult, but so worth it.
Designing beautiful spaces in remote corners of the world brings us so much joy - we’re so thrilled to share this one with you

Private Residence, Willamette Valley, Oregon
SALLY & FOSTEr’s Wedding
Tucked in the rolling hills of Oregon’s wine country, the Willamette Valley is one of the most undiscovered luxury wedding destinations in the United States. While Sonoma and Napa draw West Coast crowds, the northern Willamette Valley region wows with lush greenery and rolling hills – creating the perfect backdrop for a luxury estate wedding in wine country.
From the very beginning, Sally and Foster knew they wanted to tie the knot in Oregon. They wanted a venue that felt unique and elegant, and they invited us to transform a private estate residence into a luxury wedding venue.
When you trust us to fully design and produce a one-of-a-kind day for you…. that’s when the magic happens. For the ceremony, we wanted to create a romantic and elegant design on the estate’s great deck overlooking the Willamette Valley. To keep the focus on our couple and the stunning natural backdrop, we built a modern, black square arbor adorned with lush floral installations growing wildly and naturally in dramatic clusters. We loved worked with Noble Floral Co. to bring our high-end, romantic wedding vibe to life with unique elements like mosses, grasses and soft white florals.
To amplify the sexy and understated elements for this black-tie luxury wedding, we incorporated matte blacks and ivories throughout the design. Every detail from the black bentwood chairs to the ivory hydrangeas worked together to create a modern and high-end vibe for this luxury wine country wedding.
From years of experience as a luxury wedding planner, we know that when you’re creating a wedding venue at a private residence, details are everything. A few of our favorite reception elements include a custom-built bar, a wall of twinkle lights and modern and romantic signage from Wildhouse Ink – we take great care every last detail, including finding a faultless font that hints at a perfect mixture of 1920’s Hollywood glamour while exuding modern elegance.
And to build out a dramatic reception space, we designed a large-scale tent with overhead floral installations. Rows over hanging moss and unique, greenery details completely transformed the feel of the tent, creating a luxe, modern high-end aesthetic that left both us and our guests speechless.
Beneath the overhead installations, our design team styled a luxury and timeless reception. Custom menus and place cards rested atop each place setting, featuring black flatware, smoke-colored goblets, stoneware plates and brass details. And the center of each table featured unique, grassy details and black taper candles to create a luxe, dramatic feel invigorated through height, dimension and style.
Private property build outs at luxury country estates are a favorite of ours. Getting to design a space from scratch that’s completely unique to our clients is both so challenging and so rewarding. And when we watched our couple saber a bottle of champagne and end the night barefoot on the dance floor, singing their hearts out, we didn’t doubt for a second that it was all worth it.

Timber Cove Resort, Sonoma Coast, CA
RONNIE & BEN’S WEDDING
There’s no match for the mid-century elegance of Timber Cove: a modern-rustic resort and luxury wedding venue tucked along the Sonoma Coast.
Timber Cove is a one-of-a-kind hotel perched on a dramatic bluff high above the Pacific Ocean. Situated along the rugged Sonoma coastline, Timber Cove is a breathtaking luxury venue that allows guests to embrace nature while relaxing in a casual, sophisticated space.
This luxury California wedding venue is a perfect reflection of our couple, Ronnie and Ben, who love to enjoy the finer things in life, but they always find themselves drawn to the quiet simplicity of the ocean. Ronnie and Ben planned their wedding to be warm and intimate, while still being luxuriously celebrated. At Timber Cove, the venue’s warm hues and sturdy timbers throughout the property exude cozy elegance, which inspired our wedding design.
When we started designing this wedding at Timber Cove, we knew our couple wanted to pair extravagance with a lowkey vibe that reflected their love for the natural beauty of the Sonoma Coast. Ronnie and Ben wanted their day to feel cozy and rustic, and we loved this opportunity to completely reinterpret what “rustic” looks like in the context of a luxury coastal wedding – we’re all about pushing boundaries and bringing a new look and feel to luxury weddings.
Our ceremony design was inspired by Timber Cove’s succulent garden, set amongst the coastal cliffs. We loved working with Selva Floral to bring our upscale, rugged coastal vision to life by creating wild floral installations lining along the aisles – leading up to a lush floral-adorned wood chuppah. The delicate garden-inspired seating paired with organic grass and floral installations created the perfect backdrop for a ceremony to remember.
After the ceremony, guests wandered the Timber Cove property to enjoy cocktails and live music on the deck. We knew the reception was going to be a highlight of the wedding weekend experience (our couple set a high bar after treating their guests to incredible experiences including morning yoga, wine tasting and guided hiking), so we went all out designing a luxury reception area with a sailcloth tent and a blanket of twinkle lights. A picturesque snapshot of seaside elegance.
Our luxury tablescape design featured natural linen runners topped with organic floral arrangements featuring succulents, natural grasses and ivory blooms. We elevated the natural, coastal vibes by incorporating pops of ocean-inspired teals and greens and romantic blue hues. Every detail was intentional, everything from the natural wood chargers to the turquoise linen napkins to the engraved wood menus works in tandem to strike a perfect balance of trendiness and subtlety.
Our favorite part of the job is hearing our clients tell us their hopes and dreams and then turning into reality, times 100. And as Ronnie and Ben spent the evening in a starry night tent with their closest people (and their dogs), we couldn’t have been happier to be part of this weekend filled with cocktails, music and nature. Completely enchanted and wild, this luxury wedding at Timber Cove stands apart.

River Cabaan, Oregon Coast
Rachel and David’s Micro Wedding
At a chic mid-century cabin on the Wilson River, David and Rachel joined us for a celebration to remember at the River Cabaan estate. This award-winning property is renowned in the Pacific Northwest for its secluded natural habitat and its elevated design, and we know this would be the perfect location for our couple to exchange vows along their own personal waterfront forest property.
Leaning into the organic river blues and forest greens of the Pacific Northwest, we designed this high- end micro wedding to feature modern and luxe vibes, with a funky and unique Oregon feel. The paper goods incorporate creams, whites, blushes and soft ochre on letterpress – a perfect complement to the amber and neutral accents throughout the ceremony and reception design. And we leaned into a neutral-centric color palette of amber, blush, white and dusty sage throughout the ceremony and reception spaces.
We worked closely with Noble Floral Co. to create a ceremony space ceremony filled with cloud-like clusters to create an unstructured arch shape against the river backdrop. The lighter sage tones and pops of the dusty sienna tones juxtaposed the natural surroundings, and the organic ceremony arch shape – and the gown from Kinsley James Couture Bridal – were cascading and ethereal in shape and textures. The staggered and organic arch design and the layered, luxe fabric layers or the bridal gown tied in nicely to create an overall luxe vibe.
After the ceremony, the bride and groom wandered back to a luxe reception space that truly pushed artistic boundaries and rejuvenated creativity. We sourced velvet tablecloths, amber glassware and coup glasses to create a modern, minimalist feel. The design details were luxe and timeless – including mid-century-inspired cane-back chairs to match the venue architecture, oatmeal linen seats and blush napkins to pop against the luxe velluto tablecloths and organic fruit and produce details to give homage to the agricultural coastal surroundings.
Every detail from this wedding felt so inspired. This beautiful cabin on the Wilson River near the iconic Oregon Coast inspired a luxe, organic micro wedding that proves even the simplest setting can elevate effortless elegance.

Rosewood Miramar Beach Hotel, Santa Barbara, CA
JONA & ZACH’S WEDDING
Jona and Zack’s elegant beach wedding at the Rosewood Miramar Beach was straight from a dream. Effortless, elegant and edgy, this Santa Barbara wedding transformed a luxury five-star hotel into the party of a lifetime. Rosewood Miramar Beach is a luxury wedding venue resting above one of the most pristine and idyllic beaches on the California coast. Designed with style, grace and glamour, we couldn’t wait to design and execute a timeless celebration at this idyllic coastal retreat.
As a music industry professional, our bride prioritized art, music and design for her wedding day. Everything from live music performances to gallery-worthy desserts was curated with intention, and it was an incredible honor to bring this day to life.
On the morning of their wedding day, Jona and Zack basked in luxury. Jona stepped into her luxury Vera Wang gown on the balcony of her Rosewood Miramar suite while Zack and their son Mercer explored the hotel grounds, eager to watch the day’s magic unfold.
For their ceremony, we created an elegant and timeless design. Our focal piece was a lush installation brimming with cloud-like white and ivory florals that spiraled around the arch the beams and cascaded onto the stairs and ground below. To create an edgy and chic vibe, we leaned into a classic black and white color palette – with pops of grey, beige and rose – to elevate the mood. Black bentwood chairs added an edgy feel to the elegant ceremony setting, and white aisle runners and floral installations created stark contrast to create a luxe, modern feel.
After the ceremony, Jona and Zack kicked off their reception with glasses of bubbly. For the dinner to follow, we designed an edgy and modern reception in the hotel’s luxury space. On every reception table, we used high-end fabrics like chiffon table runners, custom nude gauze and natural ivory linens to pull in a soft, romantic vibe. Then we layered in focal accents with black taper candles, matte black flatware and smoke-colored glassware to add drama to the design. Floral details elevated the tablescape design, as we worked with Siren Floral Co. to design large and lush living garlands that sprawled across each table, spilling gracefully down to the floor.
This luxury Santa Barbara wedding wouldn’t be complete without thoughtful touches were you might least expect them. The cake – the bride’s only non-negotiable – wasn’t your average dessert. We sourced an edgy and ethereal cake from Jasmine Rae Cakes, creating a statement art masterpiece at the dessert table.

La Chacuel, Joshua Tree, CA
KAITLYN & JOEL’S WEDDING
Kaitlyn and Joel’s luxury micro wedding in Joshua Tree is proof that minimalist design makes the biggest statement. A weekend spent in the desert executing the most beautiful and intentional day for the sweetest couple. Incorporating all the textures and meaningful elements – including a ceiling of lights, a fresh sushi bar, a tequila shot escort card wall and a sunset to die for. This was one for the books.
As a professional hair and makeup artist in the wedding industry herself, Kaitlyn had seen a decade of stressful weddings and she and Joel loved the idea of hiring a team they could trust completely to create a luxurious, organic party in the desert. They chose to forego a traditional venue in favor of a beautiful AirBnb – Le Chacuel – to create the ultimate Joshua Tree celebration with their closest friends and family.
After getting ready with their bridal parties and groomsmen in the morning, Kaitlyn and Joel started their morning off with a photoshoot – one of their favorite go-to date night ideas. They took a few minutes to simply be present with each other before hosting the party of a lifetime.
For their ceremony, we wanted to create a design that not only delivered contrast but also connection. We elevated the minimalism of the desert landscape with luxe ghost chairs, and we framed the alter with unique stone pillars that held lush floral arrangements. Every floral, rental and mechanical choice worked to build dimension in harmony with the desert. For this design, we loved the way that the juxtaposition of fresh and dried flowers against the concrete and stone details mirrored the Joshua Tree desert landscape – where ocotillos and blooms spring upward from boulders and harsh earth, creating a sense of organic beauty.
After the ceremony, Kaitlyn and Joel kicked off their cocktail party with a round of tequila shots and a sushi bar. For the dinner to follow, we designed a luxury, neutral tablescape styled with stone tableware, natural linens and white chiffon table runners. Desert details elevated the tablespace design, as we added rocks, dried cholla branches (native to the surrounding Joshua Tree landscape) and raw elements to complement the ivory pillar candles and monochromatic floral arrangements.
This luxury desert party went late into the night, filled with dancing, tequila and polaroids – and it was absolutely perfect. These two made their wedding day completely their own. The did nothing because they had to, everything because they wanted to. And it was an honor to be part of the magic.

Camp Sarika at Amangiri, Canyon Point, UT
Kristina & McLain’s Wedding
We love creating the most romantic details in the most unique places, and Kristina and McLain’s intimate Amangiri wedding brought understated glamour and luxury to a remote corner of the American Southwest.
Amangiri is a place unlike any other. The starkly beautiful landscape of dramatic canyons and sandstone arches transports you to another world; the sheer grandeur of the place gives weddings the momentous sense of significance they deserve. And Kristina and McLain’s celebration was no exception. For this romantic wedding weekend celebration, our couple invited their guests to spend Friday in communion with each other in the desert, enjoying a poolside soiree at Camp Sarika. This welcome dinner was the perfect kick off for an intimate and wild experience in the desert heart of Utah.
While Amangiri offers accessible wedding sites near their main pavilion and hotel structure, we wanted to create a more intimate, unique vibe for our couple, so we designed their ceremony at a remote rock alcove at the foot of a towering 600-feet high mesa. Our team hiked up sandstone rocks to design a ceremony site featuring an asymmetrical arch – set to contrast the lines of the rock formations – with lush and airy florals to evoke a sense of understated luxury. Natural wood benches and monochromatic florals throughout the smooth sandstone site gave the ceremony area an organic but intentional feel.
For the reception, we doubled down on our commitment to create something unique for our couple: a magical dinner in a secret cove nestled within sandstone. Pulling this dinner design off was no easy feat but worth it a thousand times over. Our intimate dinner in the cliffs overlooked the vast surroundings of Amangiri and its desert landscape, giving guests the feeling that they’d been transported to a world apart. While the location was private and hidden, not a single element was compromised as we worked with Siren Floral Co. to create one of our favorite luxury tablescapes to date.
Creating a continuous arch of banquet tables, we pulled our inspiration from the desert’s color palette. A dove sheer silk runner added an organic, luxurious touch; taupe runners, sage linen napkins and ceramic stoneware pulled in warm and neutral stone tones in the surrounding desert. But one of our favorite details for this intimate desert reception was the overhead hanging installation that cascaded above the reception table. Filled with airy branches and florals, we added suspended candles to provide light and ambiance, creating an elevated and romantic design.
At once modern and rugged, elegant and understated, this intimate Amangiri elopement is proof that creating beautiful designs in the most remote places is always well worth it.

Penny & Randy’s Wedding
Luxurious intimacy in the heart of the Mojave: Penny and Randy’s Joshua Tree elopement was a perfect day spent celebrating their wedding with the desert as their witness.
Pre-COVID these two made plans to get married at an Italian villa, and we wanted to do everything we could to bring all of the pieces about Italy they loved most – elevated cuisine, natural elegance and upscale fashion – to the desert close to home.
Our couple chose a design-forward AirBnb for their private, two-person elopement in Joshua Tree. Sol to Soul, their intimate Pioneertown retreat, has been recognized by Conde Naste as the “coolest AirBnb in California” filled with one-of-a-kind pieces of art, textiles and interior design finishes. The minimalist, high-desert hidden site was the perfect spot for their intimate elopement ceremony and private reception. Surrounded by ancient juniper, desert oak trees and enchanting wilderness, the rugged terrain gave our couple the sense of being far from home, in a world completely their own.
Every detail about this day felt so intimate and intentional. Penny spent the morning doing her own makeup and facetiming her daughter; she and Randy shared a bottle of bubbly to toast to a day that felt freed of convention to be exactly what they wanted it to be.
For their ceremony, we knew we wanted to create an established, unique space for Penny and Randy to say their vows to one another in the middle of the desert. Inspired by a lush, bohemian aesthetic, we used a jute rug and a rattan arch backdrop adorned by florals and foraged earth elements from the surrounding space. As they walked forward to share their personal vows at this unique set up, local musicians played in the distance, creating an unplugged ceremony to remember.
As the sun fell, Penny and Randy enjoyed a luxurious dinner for two cooked by a private chef in the comfort of their AirBnb. We designed a lush, bohemian tablescape for our couple that elevated the surrounding nature. The tablescape featured unique rattan chargers, adding to the chic boho vibes. And we filled the table with pink glassware, blush taper candles and peachy-pink macaroons (a long-time favorite sweet for these two) to add pops of color and dimension. Branches and rocks along the tablescape added warm depth, and the earthy stoneware gave this reception dinner a classy yet boho vibe. The florals elevated the design too, as the tall and organic installations framing the table added a dramatic flair.
This personal, private elopement with 360-degree views of Joshua Tree was one for the books. Every detail, from pink salt in terracotta ceramics to naturally foraged stones mixed with lush florals made this day a perfect example that intimate elopements can be every bit as intentional and detailed as a big show-stopping weddings – but you’ll get to enjoy every moment with the person you love most.

Andrea & John’s Wedding
Andrea and John. These these two and their intimate wedding in Joshua Tree revitalized me in ways I didn’t know I needed. From the minute I received Andrea’s inquiry over three years ago, I knew that we were meant to be. Every single message from her was so full of love and appreciation and trust. After postponing her day four times, we finally got to create the most magical elopement in the middle of the desert for her and her man.
Working in the desert never fails to inspire us – and this Joshua Tree wedding embodies everything we love about destination desert weddings. The Mojave desert is full of texture, and there’s something otherworldly about the ways branches and blooms carve out space through the landscape. And there’s nothing we love more than incorporating all the textures and meaningful elements to throw one hell of a party.
Taking inspiration from desert landscape around Tierra Del Sol, a luxury Joshua Tree wedding venue, we designed Andrea and John’s ceremony to feel like a private desert oasis. In a space filled with giant boulders, sprawling pines and panoramic mountain views, we amplified the desert landscape with an ethereal, sculptural ceremony design. The branch-style arbor designed by Brier & Ivy featured lush, neutral blooms and natural desert rocks. And we pulled in pine details and granite touches throughout to create a cohesive look and feel.
While we love planning destination desert weddings, we wanted to create a day that represented Andrea and John. Not us, not any other desert weddings we created in the past - we only want to design an entire experience that feels unique to our clients, down to every last, tiny detail. Andrea told me that she grew up going back and forth between Italy and her home in the Pacific Northwest, and Italy is where she and John fell in love under the Tuscan sun. And I knew that I wanted to bring a touch of Italian magic to this luxury desert elopement.
For their tablescape design, we paired white and gold lace with Tuscan linens. Textures table linens are having a moment, and this was such a perfect choice to amplify desert textures with European elegance. Our design featured natural desert stones, taupe and off-white dinnerware, gold flatware and touches of mauve and blush throughout fabrics and florals - every element working in tandem to create a perfect end to this dreamy Joshua Tree wedding.
Andrea and John ended the day feeding each other slices of pizza and dancing under the moonlight, finding their own Italian paradise in the heart of the California desert. And we couldn’t be more in love with the way we got to bring this day to life.

Madeline & Mikell’s Wedding
This upscale, organic forest wedding represents everything we stand for: we don’t want to just create the most magical days. We want to create days beyond your wildest dreams.
Madeline and Mikell’s wedding day was a dream come true. Their vision of an upscale, camping vibe set in the middle of the woods with a modern and elegant edge was not something we took lightly. It took three days to set up (in triple digit heat!), several weeks of building and packing, months of organizing and coordinating, a year of planning, a full crew of eight Mae&Co team members and a whole host of other vendors to bring this to life but at the end of the day, the hero at the core of this experience is our couple; who trusted us completely from day one to design, build, source and create a magical weekend for them.
When we started designing this wedding at Loloma Lodge, we knew our couple wanted to pair elegance with an upscale camp feel that reflected their love for the natural beauty in the Pacific Northwest. Madeline and Mikell wanted their day to feel straight out of a fairytale, without feeling too feminine or over-the-top girly, so we worked to create an organic, masculine vibe that would leave every guest walking away feeling like they just experienced a weekend that was completely unique and unexpected.
Our ceremony design was inspired by a garden of dreams, in the middle of the forest. We loved working with Color Theory Design to bring our upscale, extravagant garden vision to life by creating wild floral installations growing up from the earth along the aisles – leading up to a lush floral installation on the riverside arbor. And as a small, thoughtful nod to our bride’s Oregon upbringing, we covered the ceremony benches with Pendleton's iconic Oregon-made wool blankets.
After the ceremony, guests found their table seats using our custom-built seating chart filled with mini margarita bottles. We knew the reception was going to be a highlight of the wedding day experience (our couple really wanted this day to feel like an extravagant camping retreat for adults), so we went all out covering the reception area in a blanket of twinkle lights, making the entire space feel otherworldly in the middle of the forest.
Our modern table design featured raw, natural linens, modern, black taper holders and taupe pillar candles to complement the lush living garland running down the table. We elevated the masculine, earthy vibes by adding smoke colored glassware and stoneware dinner plates. Every detail worked in tandem to create a perfect balance of elegance and earthiness.
As guests enjoyed a curated reception experience with live music, custom cocktails, whiskey tastings and gourmet s'mores, we watched the bride and groom pull each other close on the dance floor to take it all in. This is why we do what we do. Our all-inclusive full-service packages are designed to let you enjoy their entire weekend, not just one day, because we are all in on making sure you experience every moment surrounding the best day of your life.

The Foundry, Brooklyn, NY
Stephanie & Will’s Wedding
After 14-plus years together and a postponed wedding a month before the date due to lockdown, Stephanie and Will finally said “I do” during an upscale, industrial wedding at the Foundry in NYC.
Working in New York is an all-time fave – and this venue is one of the most unique spots in the city. Stephanie and Will hosted their luxe wedding in two of the Foundry’s most iconic spaces: a romantic ceremony in the modern greenhouse followed by a reception on the rooftop terrace with striking views of the Manhattan skyline.
Taking inspiration from the chic greenery space, we designed Will and Stephanie’s ceremony to feel like a magical and enchanted secret garden set in the city. In a space already filled with lush greenery, we leaned into a neutral-centric color palette of ivories and cream to create a chic and sophisticated vibe, with pops of green to elevate the natural beauty of the greenhouse space. We lined the aisle with candle clusters to create a minimal and chic entry leading to a showstopping ceremony installation. The lush floral arch designed by Good Seed Floral featured touches of champagne, beige and blush to create a cohesive look and feel characterized by modernity and elegance – all brought to life with dynamic hydrangeas, roses and neutral blooms.
Stephanie and Will came alive in this ceremony space. “Our ceremony was one of the most meaningful and special parts of our day,” Stephanie shared. She reflected: “My little sister curated the music, Will’s dad officiated our ceremony with the most personalized, thoughtful, and heartfelt program, and we exchanged our personal vows and shared our love for each other in front of our loved ones.” It was a moment in time that they’ll cherish forever, set in a lush, organic urban greenhouse.
After the ceremony, the guests filtered into the sprawling outdoor courtyard space for cocktail hour and a reception. We sourced modern, black details for signage and table numbers to mirror the industrial framing through the Foundry’s space. The design details were minimal and modern – drawing attention to the lush, garden-inspired florals and a clear tent illuminated by candlelight and thousands of lights twinkling atop the canopy.
The ceiling of twinkle lights above the reception tables created a true statement piece, creating the feeling that guests were transported to a magical, ethereal garden scene elevated high above the buzz of New York City. Underneath the canopy, we styled the reception tables with pearl chargers, rose gold flatware and chic crystal glassware to create a charmed, polished feel. We paired flowing, white runners atop neutral tablescape linens to set a crisp, timeless base for a table graced with blushes and golds in the florals and table setting details.
Every detail from this wedding felt so intentional. It’s easy to focus on one element like a color scheme or florals or the tablescape. But looking at the entire picture and pulling all elements, all details through - that’s what creates magic. The bride carried so much of her own personal style into the day too, wearing two Berta wedding dresses – an elegant long sleeve white gown for the ceremony and dinner, followed by a sparkling sheer gown to dance the night away.
