Nicole + Jon didn't just want your typical wedding - they wanted a low-key weekend getaway for their friends + family. Once that idea was set, they based all of their planning decisions off of the notion of simply having a good time. Everything from their poster-sized invite (designed by Jon!) to the giant balloons, colorful tassels, and the hand-planted centerpieces, were all a fun reflection of the things they love. And the Ace Hotel in Palm Springs was the perfect spot for everyone to relax + enjoy, not only just the wedding celebration, but a memorable weekend together! Wedding weekends for the win, right? Such a great idea if your situation allows!

Thanks so much to Angela Marklew of Fstop Inertia for the lovely photos + big congrats to Nicole + Jon!

As a graphic design fan, I'm pretty obsessed with all the design details Jon designed for the day - especially their poster invite which he created in 3 colors (gold, blue + red). So rad, right?! Wait until you see the reception space...

Processional: Pachelbel's Canon in D

The reception space had just the right amount of retro flair + worked in details to represent the couple's shared loved of music. Oh, and did you see those super fun YES tote bags? Big YES to those!
