A Colorful Sands Hotel & Spa Wedding in Indian Wells

Stephanie and Dom's Sands Hotel & Spa Wedding in Indian Wells

The Sands Hotel & Spa in Indian Wells, California, is the perfect wedding venue if you're looking for Palm Springs vibes for your wedding but don't want to be directly in Palm Springs. This hotel is full of bright colors, fun patterned tiles, and a mix of cultural influences from Art Deco to Moroccan and Spanish touches. This was the perfect backdrop for Stephanie and Dom's colorful wedding weekend.

The Sands Hotel & Spa is a photographer's dream. Everywhere you look, you'll find another area that is the perfect backdrop for photos! Other hotels should take notes on the design because I could not stop taking pictures of how beautiful the space was! A major perk of hosting your wedding at the Sands Hotel & Spa is being able to rent out the entire hotel for your wedding, turning the event into a whole weekend of celebrating with family and friends. If you're planning on hosting a wedding in a location where your guests have to travel, being able to stay on location for the wedding is a major plus that your guests will appreciate!

The Best Colorful Wedding Florals by Cobra Lily Floral Design

One of my favorite things about Stephanie and Dom's wedding design was that they chose to work with Jake Kale of Cobra Lily Floral Design for their wedding florals. Jake is one of the top designers in the floral industry who makes colorful and eccentric floral installations. He has worked on floral arrangements for weddings as well as installations for more commercial work like music videos for Taylor Swift and The Weeknd. It was clear why he is well known for his colorful floral designs. The arrangements were out of this world, and pairing the florals with this venue was a match made in heaven! The flowers complemented the venue's colorful, retro vibe perfectly. If colorful florals are your vibe, then you've got to look into working with Cobra Lily Floral Design for your wedding day!

Their wedding day was filled with personal touches that highlighted Stephanie and Dom's personalities and love story. The ceremony was so beautiful and emotional, with the hotel being the backdrop of the ceremony. You could see the joy on their faces in the ceremony photos, and it made me so happy to capture these moments. They will be able to look back on their wedding and remember how they felt at that moment, as they said, "I do."

Turning Their Dream Wedding to Reality

Stephanie and Dom leaned into the color and playfulness of their wedding venue when it came to the wedding decor, and it made all the difference when it came to the overall vibe of the wedding. I've said it once, and I'll say it again, your wedding venue can make or break your wedding photos. Stephanie and Dom wanted playful, retro Palm Springs wedding photos, and despite not being directly in Palm Springs, they still pulled it off flawlessly!
