These lovely photos by Christina Frary at Matthew David Studios capture some moments at this bright, romantic Palm Springs wedding. We love the loose, wild yet feminine bouquet. Enjoy!
Flowers
Always have real flowers on a wedding cake. Except this one.
There are few occasion when a floral designer is OK with no real flowers on a cake. This is one of them (YUM!) I’m a sucker for the Wedgewood wedding cake thing – don’t try it with Limoges though – starts to look like an overdone Easter Egg. And this couple was sure to have loads of flowers everywhere else- I’d extrapolate from the decor- monochromatic- shades of white, lots of peonies. Let the cake, and the couple, be the stars of the show.

Joan Rivers: Celebrity Wedding Planner
When the world looked at Joan Rivers, they saw a pioneering comedienne. Me too, but I also saw the woman who pushed me into a career in wedding planning. How could an insult comic I never met set me on the creative path that’s landed me as a wedding planning, etiquette and fashion authority at the top Palm Springs florist? Here’s how.
In 1998, Melissa Rivers, Joan’s daughter, got married. Joan swung into action as a celebrity wedding planner, seeking out the services of innovative event designer Preston Bailey to create a glittery snow garden inspired by “Dr. Zhivago” with 30,000 white flowers for the wedding at the Plaza Hotel in New York City.
The magazine photos live in my brain to this day. When a client says “winter theme” that’s what I see. That extravagant celebration showed me what was possible, what creativity could imagine and what opportunities were there to be a part of such events.
Thank you Joan, for your inspiration towards stylish entertaining – and being entertaining.
Be well and love well.
