We just wanted to throw out a special shout out to one of our favorite preferred vendors Paloma’s Nest! Introducing the Vintage Velvet Flower Ring Bearer Bowl™! A very limited edition bowl that is adorned by a vintage velvet flower.  Oh boy, is it precious. Since the supplies are limited, only 12 or 14 pieces will be made,  so if you love this make a special trip to her shop.

Are you in the market for a hip and happening wedding venue? Look no further than the Ace Hotel & Swim Club in Palm Springs, CA. A 180 room hotel, spa & resort, complete with suites. It’s on the grounds of a renovated mid-century modern motel, and within walking distance to downtown. One of the best features of the hotel is that the rates are cheap for Palm Springs hotels, motels, inns, and rental properties, even if you book at the last minute. It’s like knowing a little secret. So, you can rest assured that all of your guests can afford to bunk up at this hip and happening hotel.

Of course thanks to the incredibly fabulous Lane Dittoe for taking the time out of his busy schedule to shoot the property for us.

The master suite is ideal for a wedding party and for the wedding couple to spend their first night at Mr. & Mrs.; it has a over sized bathroom perfect for getting ready and hanging out with the ladies. There are some super fabulous features to this suite including a private patio (235 – 265 SF) with lounge area, a fire pit, vinyl record players, and unique vintage furniture. You can also bring scruffy (your dog) along as The Ace Hotel is pet friendly.

The King’s Highway dinner is the bones of an old roadside diner, it is an interpretation of American peasant food for the desert with a focus on fresh, organic, and local ingredients. We highly recommend the jicama salad, Cotija corn off the cob, hanger steak salad, and the super yummy iced lattes made by an Italian cutie if you are lucky. Complete with an the old ranch-hand bar. The locals called it the Amigo Room, so the name stuck. Cheap beer and fresh, clean cocktails with homemade ingredients, and it’s all available poolside.

There is a special place on the property especially for you wedding or pretty much anything else you can think of. The walls open up to a circular pool, an intimate amphitheater, and views of the mountains. For more information please email sales sales.ps@acehotel.com or call 760.325.9900. Ask for our girl Hillary, she’s the sweetest and will take good care of you! Remember they are a dog friendly hotel so dogs are welcome at the event space too. When you check in, be sure to ask for Joe. We see him every time we visit and we love him to pieces.

Pictures are one of the most important pieces of a wedding. After all, they are the main way you and your loved ones will remember those special moments forever. Naturally, you will hire a professional photographer to capture many of those special moments but your photographer is just the beginning.
