Palm Springs Wedding Photography : Alexis + Manuel {Viceroy Wedding : Part Four}

And, here is the final post of Alexis and Manuel's wedding coupled with some words from Alexis on the planning and some reflections.
Design Inspiration
"My other style co-conspirator was my mom, Heidi, who owns a fabric store in Las Vegas, Heddy's Fabrics (that was opened my grandmother in 1966!). Mom had beautiful custom runners made with gold-accented trim for the tables and oodles of sheer, white drapes made for the ceremony backdrop and entryways. We spray-painted a dozen or so accent vases and our table numbers gold to stand off the black table runners and rented gold flatware from Casa de Perrin to finish the look. Joey Lizotte and his awesome team at Artisan Events (they handled all floral, lighting and day-of coordination) made everything come together with desert-sturdy arrangements of mostly white blooms with pops of fuchsia in the gold vases. I'm sure about three people noticed all of this hard work and effort but when I saw the tables for the first time, my jaw dropped...it was so beautiful."
Reflections
"After so many months of planning, imagining and -- frankly -- worrying about our wedding day, everything was smooth, relaxed, happy and beautiful. As everyone says, it goes by WAY too quickly. I'll reiterate a familiar sentiment: splurge on an awesome photographer (as we did! Thanks, Natalie!!!) who gets your style and vibe and is a nice person. The day rushes by so quickly that you NEED all those fantastic photos to remind you of every little detail: everyone's faces as they were on this day, the shine in your husbands eyes, the way you couldn't stop smiling (except for when you were crying like a baby...okay, maybe that one is just me). Also, rather late in the process we decided to hire a videographer. I really debated this one (do we really need this? isn't it kind of self-indulgent?). I am SO glad we decided to hire Marlor and his team. I had no idea how much we (and our family and friends) would love our highlight video. My dad recently told me that whenever Manuel and I get in a fight, we should just watch our wedding video and it will fix everything. Haha...thanks, Dad, the relationship guru!
